[QUOTE="jarance, post: 381042, member: 21"] I think Autochild does all the above but be ready to pay for it. Gearbox flushing. Normally you do not need to flush the gearbox. Just drain the ATF oil and change the filter will do the job pretty good. Engine flushing You can drain the oil and add flushing oil for flushing the engine. After flushing, drain flushing oil and replace filter and new oil. Engine flushing is recommend every 4 oil changes if you suspect sludge is building up or prolong interval in oil change. Radiator flushing. Again you just drain the water and replace the water and coolant. Some workshop does offer flushing service but I think regular replacement of coolant will do the job just as well. Power Steering. I dont think there is oil flushing for power steering. Just drain oil and replace. this is the same as brake fluid where they will pump the oil at each individual brake servo until the colour of the oil is clear. IMHO, flushing is not a preventive maintenance but more of a corrective maintenance due to neglect routine servicing. [/QUOTE]
