Engine Clean Solutions OIL RX-3000 - Cleaning the Oiling System

CLEANING THE OIL SYSTEM
Overview
When cleaning the oiling system set engine speed at idle, or slightly above idle.
This is the most efcient and thorough method for cleaning the complete inside
of the engine’s oiling system including the hydraulic lifters, valve train, gear train,
oil pump, valve cover, crankcase sidewalls, oil galleys, and oil pan and any other
“oil-wetted” surfaces located inside the engine. Engines that are burning oil or
have other symptoms of low compression or poor mechanical condition should
not be cleaned.
• The machine’s lter must be replaced at each cleaning.
• The engine’s oil lter must be replaced at each cleaning.
• The engine’s oil must be changed after each cleaning.
The engine must be warm when starting the procedure. Since the engine is run-
ning during the procedure, an auxiliary heater is not required. The engine will
provide its own heat to insure a more thorough cleaning.
The cleaning cycle must be at least 10 minutes. The normal cleaning time is be-
tween 10 and 20 minutes, although some engines, including diesel, may require
longer times to completely clean the oil system.
During the cleaning process, cleaning solution mixes with the engine’s oil, as the
oil passes thru the oil lter mounted on the Oil 3000. The engine’s oil provides
lubrication for the engine and is the carrier for the cleaning compounds located in
the cleaning solution.
The cleaning solution/oil will circulate thru the machine, and the machine’s lter,
about 4 or 5 times per minute (average gasoline engine). The cleanig solution
will dissolve the sludge, varnish and tar inside the engine using the churning ac-
tion of the internal moving engine parts. The heavier contaminants, such as wear
metals and gasket particles, are ushed into the oil pan where they are picked
up by the engine’s oil pump and ltered out by the 5-micron lter located on the
machine.
At the end of the cleaning cycle, the oil is drained, and the engine is air ushed to
remove excess cleaning solution/oil that may be in the oil galleys, etc. Leaving a
small amount of cleaning solution in the engine is benecial, as it contains a seal
rejuvenating and oil conditioner.
Dispose of the old drain oil as you would regular drain oil.
