Hi folks,

The 98 EO I just bought has 57,000 miles, and I want to switch to synthetic to help guard against additional wear & add a bit of protection againts the oil starvation problem.

Given the comparatively high mileage on the vehicle, I was thinking it might be a good idea to have the engine flushed before switching to syn.

There's an acura dealer nearby who offers an oil flush service for $79.95. Will this take care of any sludge built up in the engine, or is more aggressive (and expensive) action required?

Is there a way to tell if there is alot of sludge in the engine? And if there is.. and if it's expensive to remove (i.e. more than a couple of hundred bucks) will switching to syn help clean it out?

Thanks,
BB
