Question is that I bought the vehicle used (fleet and personal usage) I get oil changes for the life of the vehicle.I would like to add a motor flush-my question is, can I drive the vehicle for a short distance with the oil flush poured in the crankcase?

Good afternoon,

Definitely not. The flushing agent has no lubricating qualities and could damage the engine.

It is made to add to the old oil before a change and let it idle for about 1 hour. Then immediately change the oil and filter.
