Hi,i am about to change the oil on my 04 Galaxy (6o,ooo miles)and was wondering wether its a good thing to flush the engine through as ive heard some people say not to do it.

Cheers,Pete.

My rule of thumb Pete is when you first get the car if it don't have service records flush it, then if you use good quality oil and regular changes it is not needed
