Toyota 4-Runner Engine flush
Why does my Toyota 4-Runner need an engine flush?
An engine flush is a liquid chemical cleaning composition that’s designed to remove and dissolve sludge, gunk, carbon deposits and wear debris, from inside a Toyota 4-Runner’s internal combustion engine.
The engine flush is mixed with the engine oil, then circulated through the Toyota 4-Runner engine for a few minutes, before the oil is drained. All in the aid of cleaning the oil lubricated areas of the engine.
Because we can’t see inside an operational Toyota 4-Runner engine, all we can do is look at what comes out of the engine.
When the condition is bad a mechanic may notice poor quality, sludgy oil and suggest an engine flush.
In most cases mechanics will recommend to carry out an engine flush, as a regular Toyota 4-Runner maintenance task.
When excessive sludge builds up in a Toyota 4-Runner engine the oil can’t lubricate all the parts properly.
Oil needs to travel through the engine freely to disperse heat and provide a smooth surface for moving parts. If this doesn’t happen then engine failure is imminent.
A Toyota 4-Runner engine flush can be performed by automotive servicing providers and mobile mechanics.
You can’t go wrong if you make sure it’s a qualified mechanic. AutoGuru is a great place to find local, quality mechanics to compare and book a Toyota 4-Runner engine flush.
