Why Clean Your Engine?
Chances are, when your engine was new it
delivered the power and fuel efficiency it was designed
for. But now, as your engine accumulates miles, things are
happening that are adversely affecting its performance.
Slowly but surely, your engine is gathering harmful deposits
that will eventually cost you money.
Even though you may follow a routine service
schedule, your driving conditions may be far from routine.
Stop and go driving, prolonged periods of idling, short
trips that don't allow your engine time to warm up, towing
a trailer, the ingestion of airborne dirt, fuel dilution,
water condensation, and oxidized oil will eventually cause
the formation of a thick, gummy deposit known as sludge.
Settling throughout the engine, sludge will clog oil passages,
restricting the flow of oil to vital engine parts, especially
in the upper valve train areas.
In motorcycle & ATV engines do not flush
the engine if it shares the same oil sump as the wet clutch.
Flush only engines that have their own oil sump.
