I finally got around to doing my oil flush this weekend. The job was very easy to do but did take around 3 hours from start to finish.
I was quite surprised at how dirty the oil looked and even after I had done 3 flushes it wasn't quite red enough for my liking - 2014 @97k miles no towing.
From now on I think I will drain and replace once a year (single drain) to keep it fresh.

I have also reset the oil in vida and if I'm being honest i have not noticed any change in the way it works as others say they do.
