You shouldn't have to flush the engine if you're just changing brands. But if you're going from dinosaur oil to synthetic, it wouldn't be a bad idea. About every third or fourth oil change, I flush my engine (this is on my other car since I haven't even changed yet on the CL-S). I just get a quart size can of stuff that's creatively named Motor Flush (if I remember correctly). It's a silver can with a red label but any brand should work. Just pour that stuff in the cold engine, idle for five minutes and then drain.
