Forte engine flush

Posted by Roy Ritchie on January 17, 2006, 10:26 pm

Got a saab 95 in with a bad bottom end rattle the customer told me it had just had a service and a flush so we pulled sump off for a look to find the oil feed pipe to be blocked with loose dirt stripped off of the inside of engine,(car had done 60000 miles with dealer history)customer contacted forte and after they inspected engine and a sample from oil feed strainer they gave him £1000 towards repair,What a result and only took 4 weeks sounds like forte are a good company if you do have a problem.

Hi Roy
I would agree they are a good company and have a good product.Last year a customer with Volvo S40(Mitsubishi GDI engine)had problems. These engine seem to carbon up if used on short runs.
Main dealer solution was strip down to remove deposits and replace EGR and IASC, a expensive job as you would imagine.
I asked him to run several days with Forte flush in the sump. He then reported back that it was starting to run better.The oil was then drained and a can of gas treatment added to fuel tank.
My first customer this year was same guy, who now had a smooth running Volvo and could I supply him a Forte flush pending a service.

Hi guys,
Ive always had good results with Forte products. The Flush you mention does actually reduce emissions without doing anything else! (prior to and including an oil change/filter of course ) Always worth a try if your struggling in that area.
On the 'gunge' front - I recall that they always used to say be very careful when using it on the likes of the Escorts CVH which were notorious for gunging inside ( as we know) but they say use jusgement as to whether or not to even use it cos it can release the gunge etc and cuase other problems!! Again, worth remembering that point.

Mike

I use some forte products and they are very good but i never use oil flush,I have seen to many dead engines with blocked strainers after flushing.
