Jiffy Lube has the Bilstein Engine flush for $59.95. Is that any good for the 1992 Q45 (173k)? I had it done on my I4 2.0 1995 Mazda 626, and it was fine.
Thanks!-J.
Professional Engine Flush, 92 Q
Is it a Motovac/or Envirolution type flush?
Or just adding a can of kerosenes based cleaner?
If the latter (as I suspect) dont do it, unless you are reasonable confident you dont have too much sludge in your engine.If too much sludge brakes loose and blocks the pick-up screen (which you may not notice until too late), you have to <repeatedly> take off the oil pan, clean out, drive more, take off again put back on..
It's almost $500 worth of labor to uninstall/reinstall this oilpan just once.....
The Motovac or Envirolution type flush is much better + safer.cleans out your gallerys and back flushes against the oil pick -up screen.
I have done that with a VH45DE before.Usually large Toyota dealers have a machine for that, because they had so much sludge problems in their 3 L V6's, or go to the envirolution websiste.
Some Toyota dealers may not have the adaptors for Nissan engines on hand, but I have a set here which I will send u if you resend it back to me.

PS: But if it is a MotoVac or Envirolution style machine he has, then he is offering a screaming deal, I paid $120 for my Envirolution flush at a Toyota dealer and they have a hi volume to get back the money on the expensive machine.
