shawdreamer Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 flush is generally designed to break down the viscosity of the oil which obviously makes it a great deal more fluid than it originally was. depending on how thick the oil was before the flush was added, how much was added, what sort of loads he wants to place on the engine (eg heavy motorway/ high rev loads or urban slow speeds etc) and the general temperature the engine runs at he should be ok to nurse it for a few miles with the flush circulating. I seriously wouldn't push his luck though as with the oil thinned, moving parts wont be as well protected and ultimately break down and wear at increasing speed.
