Want to flush the engine? Think twice

After all, do you wash the car engine or not? For those who like to lift the hood and find it clean, it’s good, wash. But running with some dirt covering the engine does not harm its operation at all.

For those who like to wash it at home, you have to pay close attention not to direct the water jet to the electronic elements. Especially the electronic center, because any deficiency in the seal only needs a little water to enter to oxidize it internally.

Someone once commented to me: “because I washed the engine of my car last week, I threw a lot of water everywhere and nothing wrong happened.” And I said: “you think oxidation happens in two or three days, right? We’ll talk in a month, okay?”
