Every once in a while I use engine flush on both my cars(1995 Camaro Z28 LT1 and 2001 Impala 9C1 3800 V6). The one I used to use (can't remember brand) said to put in oil and let idle for 5 to 10 minutes or drive for no more than 50 miles. I can't find that same brand anymore. The other brands all say put in oil and let car idle for 5 to 10 minutes. Would it really hurt if I drove the car 10 miles from my house to the garage where I'm getting my oil changed? Any help or comments would be great!

that distance shouldn't matter...

it's just that the flush is basically a solvent, which breaks down the lubricating properties of the oil...obviously don't want too much driving under those conditions.

i would say drive it around for a little, then drive to the shop, then pour it in. let it run for 5 min while you check the car in and everything...then they'll drain it.
may be safer

 

Thanks for the info. That's what I'll do. Once I get to the destination I'll put the engine flush in the oil and let it run for a good 5 or 10 minutes.
