An engine flush (in regard to an overdue oil change) is an additive that is put into the crankcase. Usually these take 3-5 minutes of the vehicle idling to dissolve gum/sludge/varnish deposits that build up when you go over the recommended interval. There is much dispute as to whether or not this service is any good at all. Some recommend using transmission oil instead of a brand of 'engine flush'.
A radiator flush, or transmission flush consists of an exchange of the coolant, or transmission oil. These are usually performed with a machine that hooks into your hoses or lines and when your vehicle is idling, circulates the fluid through the machine and transfers new fluid into your vehicle. These are recommended by the manufacturer at specific intervals.
What else can I help you with?
Does a 2003 SUV need an engine flush every 9K miles?
No, you do not need to flush your engine at 9,000 miles. You don't even need to do it at 30,000 miles. You will however need to flush everything else, but I would say engine flush not really needed unless you drive your vehicle without changing the oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles. Now once you start getting in the 40 and 50,000 mile range I would say about once or twice a year I would use some sort of engine cleaner. Hope this helped, good luck, Nick
