In my experience flushing oils can often cause problems, engines that were leak free can often start leaking after a flush so unless you know the engine is full of sludge I would not use it.

Good quality oil changed at the recommended intervals or sooner if you wish is all you need to do. On a newly purchased vehicle with an unknown service history it is probably a good idea to do an oil change followed by another a few weeks later.
