Our team here at Sunnyvale Ford wants you to know that keeping your engine clean is one of the keys to keeping it running without any problems. It is relatively easy for you to clean the engine. You will need a degreaser or an engine cleaner. Just about any degreaser you use will work to clean the engine. However, if your engine is very dirty, then you will need to use a heavy-duty degreaser. Let your engine cool for a few minutes before you cool it.
You can use a garden hose or a pressure washer on a light setting to clean the engine. You will also need to use compressed air or a leaf blower to get rid of the excess water. After you are finished cleaning, you will need to start the engine. Let it run for about five minutes or until all of the parts are dry.
