Same for any other flush.

Same thing with oil. You change it before it NEEDS it.
......

comparing an oilchange to using an injector cleaner to get a better spray.... or a chemical cleaner in the radiator to remove rust..... or an engine flush..... isn't exactly the best comparison

oil degrades... but almost never would I reccommend using an engine flush (at the most maybe a quart of dex 3 to help a sticky ring... but that's generally after the fact that something bad has happened).....

if it's to the point where MOST people think they need to use a "magic cleaner" then it's usually too late.....
