Engine Flush – Pre-Oil-Change Cleaner
| Feature | Mechanism of Action |
|---|---|
| Detergent Action | Dissolves varnish and sludge from oil passages, valve train, and oil pan |
| Complete System Coverage | Reaches all parts of the engine's lubrication system without dismantling |
What It Does
A chemical additive designed to clean the internal components of an engine, specifically the oil passages, crankcase, and other parts touched by the engine oil. Added to old oil just before an oil change.
Important Considerations
Well-Maintained Engines - if you regularly use high-quality synthetic oil with short intervals, a flush may be unnecessary
Very Old/Neglected Engines - in engines with extremely heavy sludge buildup, flushing might dislodge large chunks that could temporarily clog oil passages
Follow Instructions - never drive with flush in the system; only idle for the recommended time
Manufacturer Recommendations - some car manufacturers advise against using oil additives; check your owner's manual
Key Features
High Detergent/Solvent Formula - contains stronger concentrations of detergents than normal oil to dissolve varnish and soften thick sludge deposits
Quick Circulation - added to warm, old oil and circulated for 10-15 minutes by idling the engine
Oil-Soluble & Drainable - formulated to mix entirely with old engine oil and drain completely
Universal Application - compatible with all standard motor oils (synthetic, semi-synthetic, conventional) for both petrol and diesel engines
Main Benefits
Prepares Engine for Clean Oil - ensures that fresh new oil stays cleaner longer and isn't immediately contaminated with old deposits
Restores Oil Flow and Lubrication - clears clogged oil passages ensuring critical components receive proper lubrication
Frees Sticky Components - helps loosen sticky piston rings and hydraulic valve lifters that get gummed up by carbon
Reduces Operating Temperature - removes insulating deposits allowing oil to dissipate heat more effectively
Improves Fuel Economy - cleaner engine with restored compression runs more efficiently
Prevents Major Damage - regular flushing helps prevent premature engine wear and catastrophic failure
Cooling System Sealant
| Use case | How It Is Used |
|---|---|
| Temporary Seal | Seal a leaking cooling system until a permanent repair can be made |
| Preventative | Stop very small leaks before they become a running problem |
Proven In The Field — Manx GP 2025
Provided by Launch Tech UK as part of its sponsorship of Alex Sinclair Racing at the 2025 Manx Grand Prix. Used on the team’s Aprilia 660 Super Twin — a machine “known for coolant issues” — where under extreme heat it “performed flawlessly keeping its contents exactly where they should be.”
What It Does
Designed to seal a leaking cooling system as a temporary measure but can also be used as a preventative. Highly effective at sealing leaks and designed to be completely removed with the coolant so it will not block the system when a permanent repair can be made.
Key Features
Seals leaks in the cooling system — usable as a temporary measure or as a preventative treatment
Designed to be completely removed with the coolant, so it will not block the system when a permanent repair is carried out
Contains a lubricant to help lubricate the water pump
When used as a preventative, works within the coolant to stop very small leaks before they become a running problem
Main Benefits
Does not offer a “permanent” blockage-forming repair — avoids the restrictions many other sealants can leave behind
Removed with the coolant at the next fluid change, so the system is left clear for a permanent repair
Highly effective at sealing leaks, according to the Launch Tech UK chemicals brochure
Includes a lubricant that also helps lubricate the water pump
Automatic Transmission Flush – Service
| Comparison | Benefits Over Simple Drain & Fill |
|---|---|
| Fluid Replacement | ~99% of fluid vs. only 30-50% with drain & fill |
