my 95,000km service is coming up and wondering if I could/should pour a bottle of Gunk engine flush before I turn it over to the dealer. The label says you should only pour it in right before you turn off your engine and drain the oil and warns not to drive with it in your engine. So I'm wondering what happens when I turn my disco over to the dealer; do they change the oil first or do some running tests with it?

Ask the label. Maybe if your rub the bottle, a Genie will come out and grant you three wishes. Stay away from that crap. |

With that kind of miles on your engine you could ruin the seals with that stuff. Making your Disco to more decorative on the driveway. Would not do it. Had a friend with a 87 Jetta with around 215k car ran fine, he used some of that engine flush and he had to replace all of his hydraulic lifters and the valve cover gasket eroded away. |
