The only engines I have ever seen that needed to be "flushed" were engines that had used Quaker State oil for a long time. Usually about the only good way to tell is your engine is gummed up is to remove the oil pan of the intake manifold and see how much residue is built up in the engine. If your radiator has rust in it and the cap & gasget have rust deposits on them and or the overflow resivoir tank has rust in it thenn I would say to drain and flush the coolant system. If there is no rust, the coolant is the orinigal coolant color and the engine is not overheating it does not need to be flushed. Follow the reccomendations of the coolant manufacturer as far as to the length of use before draining and replacing with fresh coolant.
