How to Use Ravenol Engine Cleaner

Keeping your engine in top condition is essential for maintaining performance and longevity. Over time, deposits, sludge, and contaminants can accumulate inside the engine, leading to poor efficiency, reduced power, and even costly repairs. Ravenol Engine Cleaner is designed to solve this problem by flushing out these harmful residues, giving your engine a fresh start with every oil change.

Here’s how to use Ravenol Engine Cleaner effectively:

But Firstly, What is Ravenol Engine Cleaner?

Ravenol Engine Cleaner is an advanced cleaning solution that breaks down engine sludge, varnish, and carbon deposits. It’s designed to be used just before an oil change, ensuring that the new oil can perform at its best. By cleaning the engine internally, it enhances fuel efficiency, reduces harmful emissions, and restores optimal engine performance.

And Why Should You Use an Engine Cleaner?

Even with regular oil changes, small amounts of sludge and debris can build up inside your engine over time. These contaminants can:

• Reduce engine efficiency by blocking oil passages and restricting lubrication.
• Cause wear and tear on engine components, leading to premature failure.
• Increase fuel consumption as the engine has to work harder to maintain performance.
• Contribute to carbon build-up, which can damage key components like valves and injectors.

Using Ravenol Engine Cleaner before every oil change ensures that your engine stays clean and free from these damaging deposits, extending its life and performance.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Ravenol Engine Cleaner

Using Ravenol Engine Cleaner is simple and can be done as part of your regular oil change routine. Follow these steps for optimal results:

Step 1: Warm Up the Engine

Before adding the engine cleaner, it’s important to get the engine to its normal operating temperature. Start your car and let it run for about 10 - 15 minutes, or take a short drive. A warm engine allows the cleaner to circulate better and dissolve sludge more effectively.

Step 2: Add Ravenol Engine Cleaner

Once the engine is warm, turn off the engine and open the bonnet. Shake the bottle of Ravenol Engine Cleaner well before use. Pour the entire contents of the bottle into the engine oil filler hole.

Step 3: Idle the Engine

After adding the cleaner, restart your engine and let it idle for approximately 15 - 20   minutes. During this time, the cleaner circulates through the engine, breaking down sludge and deposits. Avoid revving the engine or driving during this process, as the cleaner is designed to work at idle speed.

Step 4: Drain the Oil

After idling for 15 - 20 minutes, turn off the engine and prepare for an oil change. Place an oil pan (or your finest washing up bowl) under the drain plug and carefully drain the old oil, which will now contain the dissolved contaminants.

Step 5: Replace the Oil Filter

With the engine cleaner having worked through your oil system, it’s important to replace the oil filter to ensure no residue or sludge remains. Install a new filter to complete the cleaning process.

Step 6: Add Fresh Oil

Finally, add fresh, high-quality Ravenol engine oil suitable for your vehicle’s specifications. Make sure you fill to the correct oil level and then start the engine again to let the new oil circulate. Check for any leaks around the filter and drain plug.

*Make sure you replace the drain plug beforehand - we’ve all been there!*
