Oil purge - richje100 - 29:th-Jun-2015

So my Astras booked in on Thursday to have its service and like last year they offered to do the oil and fuel purge for £18, anyone had this done and is it worth it? Doubt I'd be able to tell if it's been done?

Lady said its recommended each year (of course they do!!) and after they've drained oil out they flush system through so the new oil is going into a nearly new engine. Same with the fuel.

i would ask

Terra clean is totally different and cost alot more than the can of additive they chuck in the tank.

Worth the £18 they are asking? Is there anyway I can tell it's been done?
