When we purchase a new car you know just how clean an engine compartment can look. he metal gleams, the black hoses glisten, and you can touch any surface and not come away covered in dirt, grease or oil. Conversely, every driver knows that it doesn’t stay that way long as things get nasty under there in a hurry—a fact we’re reminded of every time the hood’s popped to check fluids, do some work, or investigate a disturbing new noise, vibration, or smell.
Drivers clean their vehicles’ interiors and exteriors, but by and large tend to ignore the engine compartment, allowing grit and grime to accumulate over the years and miles. Engines are not designed to have grease build up on the surface as this can cause a lot of problems such as restricting the air flow on the metal, which is designed to keep the engine cool. While oily, greasy dirt that accumulates on an engine can trap some heat, it’s doubtful it would be enough to cause an engine to overheat or even run hotter than normal.
Why Keep It Clean
A clean engine compartment makes a used car look newer and better maintained, but that’s just one of the reasons. Let’s go through the other reasons which you might not have thought for getting your engine and engine compartment clean.
It’s easier to spot potential trouble before it becomes a major problem. If your engine is filthy, you’re not going to know if that small fluid leak has been there forever, or if it just appeared. Clean engines make leaks, cracks and other problems easier to spot.
- Remove road salt and debris that can lead to corrosion if they’re allowed to accumulate.
- Remove debris that can cause hot spots to form on the engine and its components, shortening their lives.
- Prevent the buildup of combustible materials, such as leaves or oil, that are fire hazards on the road and in the garage.
- A clean engine is more enjoyable to work on and look at.
- A vehicle with a clean engine and engine compartment has a higher resale value.
Advantages of Engine Steam Cleaning
- Environment Friendly: Since no harsh chemicals are used, no residue will be left behind nor will it release toxic vapors. Any sort of mess caused by most engine cleaning jobs can often pollute sewers or waterways if not cleaned up effectively.
- Eliminates grease, oil, and buildup: The jet streams can effectively dissolve most particles of dirt and/or buildup which gets accumulated on the engine over the years. While there are conflicting debates online, experts often recommend steam cleaning as one of the best ways to return the vehicle’s engine to its original look.
- Spots oil leaks: With the help of Steam Clean it gets easy to detect an oil leak as the buildup can be removed from the hoses responsible for the leak. While harsh chemicals can be used, it’s often not recommended as sometimes, it can cause more damage.
