Thanks for you guys.
don't know what so called engine cleanliness means, most likely, I guess it's just engine fresh. it's simple and easy, just pour a bottle of fresh fluid, then run the engine for like 20 minutes. after that, change engine oil, that's all. 5 ^% L5 d& \: Z / |% Q, F/ D/ `& t' D8 b[ Last edited by 社员都是向阳花 on 2005-6-4 at 08:11 PM]

I've got some difficulties to read your questions. To my best knowledge, it seems that the cleanning of your engine is a must if it is an old and dirty car.1 {( V0 @! B; c9 a5 V5 g

it could be a engine shampoo as well, like the gentleman mentioned before, but what i'm trying to say is if the mechanic refuse to do a inspection on your vehicle only because of a dirty engine, just walk out and find another shop down the street then. they always wanna oversell their service that you don't even need. * K& h# m) z! ~9 D$ n; S6 X9 H* _/ A/ S
