3 Types of Car Engine Cleaning Fluids and Their Functions You Must Know

10 April 2025

So far, many drivers only take care of and pay attention to the cleanliness of the car from the outside and the interior. In fact, the cleanliness of the car engine also needs to be considered, not only to support the performance of the car engine itself but also to ensure that the car engine remains durable and long-lasting because it is free from sludge and rust. 

Cleaning Fluids for Car Engines

There are many ways to maintain the cleanliness of the car engine, one of which is by using special cleaning fluids. With the right type of cleaning fluid, the car engine can continue to operate well for a long time. However, there are too many engine cleaning fluids sold in the market, so to avoid making the wrong purchase, it is best to first understand the types and functions of car engine cleaning fluids.

1. Engine Conditioner

This solvent-based liquid in the form of foam is used to clean the combustion chamber by spraying it into the combustion chamber through the spark plug hole (the spark plug is removed). When cleaning, it is best for the engine temperature to be warm and dirty, as the warm engine temperature will help the fluid evaporate quickly, and at high temperatures, carbon deposits will dissolve more easily. Dirt containing sludge and carbon that sticks to the piston head and valve will eventually be worn away and expelled through the exhaust. 

2.  Engine Degreaser

This liquid is also solvent-based, but its texture is harder. This is because the function of this liquid is to clean dirt or grime on the outside of the engine. Its packaging is also similar to that of the engine conditioner, which is in an aerosol can. The unique formulation of this engine degreaser will bind and dissolve stubborn dirt. The way to use this cleaner is to spray it on the dirty parts while the engine is still warm, then rinse with water using a hose. 

3. Engine Flush

Engine flush is a special detergent that can clean dirt inside the engine crankcase and oil pathways. The way to use this cleaning fluid is to pour it into the engine through the oil hole and run the engine for 15 minutes. After that, drain the fluid through the oil drain. With its strong cleaning properties, engine flush can also help clean sludge and carbon in the piston ring.
