Often the oil inside the engine turns into a very dense substance that is almost close to the fat, and this substance accumulates in the engine’s ducts and streams and hinders the oil’s access to the precise moving parts within the engine, especially since modern engines have very accurate ducts and ducts that need good oil fluidity, so there must be a period For another process of washing the engine from the inside to clean these accumulations and deposits .. Industrial facts say that the new technologies in the manufacture of auto engines led to the manufacture of engines with high compression ratios and these high pressures generate very high temperatures. And away from the jurisprudence that talks about washing the engine with oil, thinner, gasoline, diesel, chlorine, and chlorax, let’s get acquainted with the internationally accepted method, which is using flash material to clean the car’s machine and its surroundings.
Engine washing materials and how to use them:
There are materials available on the market for cars and sold to oil sellers and motor additions are sold in packages between 300 to 500 milliliters called different trade names used for the process of washing the engine and the way to use it as follows:
1- We add a complete package from it (for 4-cylinder cars in general and two boxes for cars to 6-cylinder and 8-cylinder and it is preferable to read the instructions on it as it states the amount of oil that must be added to this article) we add it with the old oil and we run the car for half an hour on N and then we empty Whole oil and change the filter with a new one, then add a new oil
2 – It is preferable that the process of emptying the oil from the hole below the cartridge and not by the suction process used at some stores because the opening of the bottom cartridge is placed at the bottom point in the engine in general and thus we guarantee the exit of the entire old oil with the refrigerator deposited in the depth of the cartridge – but in the suction process we may not guarantee that The worker has connected the suction hose to the lowest point in the engine
3 – Do not exaggerate the process of washing the engine with flash material, where some use it with every oil exchange because this substance has proven to have side effects in the case of exaggerating its use on the engine gaskets (Joan Cartier. Joan Colas..Joan Covered Sabab..Goob gaskets) and some locations It is recommended that you use it once per year, although this topic is relative, there are those who walk 100 thousand km per year and there are those who walk 5,000 .. It is preferred if your car is from the agency and you use good oils and you change them periodically and you do not notice the presence of fat accumulations on the oil filling slot or the oil inspection skewer.
The second way to wash the engine:
1 – There are oils dedicated to the engine washing process on the market, which are mostly light viscous oils where you empty the engine from the old oil and add 4 liters of engine wash oil (or depending on the capacity of your car engine) and then start the engine for half an hour on the N (or the time mentioned on Package) then empty the oil, change the filter, and add the new regular oil and the appropriate viscosity to your car mentioned in the car catalog.
2 – There is a difference in views about the degree of viscosity between the manufacturer’s instructions and the results on the ground, but through experience it was found that in normal car engines (not turbo or GDI) that the most suitable viscosity is 10W40. And the time of extreme heat we have in the months of June, July and August, and in case you use the car inside the city and in the midst of heavy traffic congestion, you can use a spare 20W50 (if you do not have what appears to be contrary to the sound of the youth or a severe change and annoying in the sound of the engine and note that the instructions of the catalog in Kia company for example put oil 20W50 for countries with temperatures ranging from 5- to 40+
3 – Through experience, we also found that some cars illuminate the oil light when standing on the N permanently or intermittently, and this is the result of several things, including:
A – Using a very high viscosity oil that does not conform to the engine specifications and company instructions
B – Using poor quality oil
C – Weakness or malfunction in the oil pump
Therefore, when this situation occurs, you have the cheapest and easiest initial procedure. It is a procedure for washing the engine as I mentioned above and changing the oil with another suitable type while changing the filter … In the event that this phenomenon does not disappear, it is preferable to open the cartridge from the bottom and clean the internal filter well and make sure of a pump your oil.
