The manual now suggests an oil change every 6000 miles, but a lot of people on here, including myself, have stuck with the old recommendation of every 4000 miles.
If you were to do the same i see no reason why any "flushing" should be needed at all, unless you've had a known problem.
I replace my oil filter every 2 changes as well.
There's a couple of other little tricks which can keep your oil a bit cleaner, one being a magnetic sump plug, and some people also stick magnets on their oil filter as well to try and contain any very fine metal debris in these areas.

More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
