Hey there..
From personel experience, I've done it in the agency for approx 250 Dhs, then i've done it in ADNOC with exactly the same machine (Bilstein) and it gave me the same effect, it's something really important to do every once and a while...

Adnoc also have another way where they put washing oil in your engine and keep running for like 15 mins... i've tried it also once but the first is more effective because of the pressure of the machine

Are you talking about engine flush (Washing the engine from inside?) or just washing the engine?

If it is just washing the engine of a Wrangler ... Just have a high pressure hose and wash it.

If flushing then as Miro said

thanks for the reply guys,

iguana.. what i meant was just washing the engine...

and if an engine flush would really help ... why not...


miro, if you use a high pressure hose... won't that destroy some of the electrics?
