Why an internal clean extends the life of your engine oil?
Introduction
Engine oil plays a key role in lubricating, cooling, and protecting the internal components of the engine. However, over time, it accumulates impurities, combustion residues, and deposits that can harm its effectiveness.
💡 Performing an internal clean before each oil change is a simple and effective solution to extend the life of your engine oil and maintain engine performance.
👉 Discover why and how to perform this cleaning to optimise your vehicle’s maintenance.
1. Engine contamination: An underestimated issue
As time passes and mileage increases, the engine accumulates:
🔹 Soot and carbon deposits resulting from fuel combustion.
🔹 Sludge and varnish from the breakdown of the oil.
🔹 Metallic impurities from the wear of internal parts.
🔹 Residues from additives and unburned fuel.
🚨 A contaminated engine reduces the efficiency of fresh oil and accelerates its degradation.
📌 The result: Oil degrades faster, loses its properties, and requires more frequent changes.
2. Why is an internal clean essential before the oil change?
Simply replacing the oil is not always enough, as the used oil can leave stubborn residues in the engine.
The benefits of an internal clean before the oil change:
✔️ Removal of deposits: Dissolves sludge and varnish blocking the oil circuits.
✔️ Engine preparation: Allows the fresh oil to circulate without contamination.
✔️ Component protection: Reduces premature wear of moving parts.
✔️ Lubrication optimisation: Ensures better adhesion of the fresh oil.
✔️ Extended oil life: Prevents rapid degradation of new oils.
📌 An internal clean ensures a cleaner engine and longer oil change intervals.
3. How to perform an effective internal clean?
🔧 Step 1: Use a pre-oil change engine cleaner
Adding a cleaning additive, like CLEAN Before Oil Change, is a simple and effective solution.
🛠️ Instructions:
1️⃣ Add the cleaner to the engine oil before the oil change.
2️⃣ Let the engine run at idle for 10 to 15 minutes.
3️⃣ Perform the oil change and replace the oil and oil filter.
📌 Why is this method effective?
👉 The product loosens and dissolves impurities, allowing them to be removed with the used oil.
🛢️ Step 2: Fully drain the used oil
After the cleaning, it is crucial to fully drain the contaminated oil to leave no residues behind.
✔️ Let the oil drain until the last drop.
✔️ Always replace the oil filter, as it still contains impurities.
🚨 Never reuse a used filter!
⛽ Step 3: Refill with high-quality fresh oil
✔️ Choose an oil that matches the manufacturer’s recommendations.
✔️ Opt for synthetic or semi-synthetic oil for better protection.
✔️ Check the oil level after a few miles and adjust if necessary.
💡 A clean engine guarantees more efficient and durable oil!
4. What are the long-term benefits of an internal clean?
✅ Longer oil change intervals: Oil stays clean for a longer time.
✅ Less engine wear: Better lubrication and reduced friction.
✅ Optimised fuel consumption: A clean engine consumes less fuel.
✅ Reduced pollution: Lower emissions due to better combustion.
📌 An internal clean before the oil change can extend the engine’s life and reduce maintenance costs.
A clean engine for more efficient oil!
💡 An internal engine clean before the oil change is a simple and effective solution to maximise the life of your oil and preserve your engine.
