    4. which is better: a flush or an oil change?

    oil change depends on how you drive your car and what kind of oil u use...

    if you are using regular non synthetic oil around ever 3000 miles
    synthetic can last up to 5000 miles

    oil change prices vary, i get mine done at the car wash for 30 bucks regular oil, top off all fluids and all that other stuff, and i get a free car wash at the end of it.

    flushing the system is draining the oil, and pouring a quart of oil or two through the motor while the oil pan plug is still removed.

    realisticly flushing might be better or it may not be its debateable... i wouldnt waste my time or the oil.

    do like the honda kid did and pour water in your oil tank to flush it... JOKING..

    just do oil changes, you really need to flush it only if you dont change your oil every 3k.. say for example like every 20k LOL
    typical price for an oil change at autozone is 15 dollars DIY.. or 29.95 at shops, some shops have s[pecials for 19.95

    synthetic oil is more expensive,
