Best Engine Bay oil cleanup products
 

Hi I double sealed my filter, I know, rookie mistake, and got oil all over the Bay. What products are recommended to clean this mess up.

I like this product:

Extreme Simple Green® Aircraft & Precision Cleaner

It does the job and doesn't harm aluminum or plastics. Regular Simple Green can contribute to aluminum corrosion.

That stuff isn't easy to find though.


Use a real engine degreaser as it's made to not harm the various materials under the hood, and it's easy to find.


Don't use:
- Normal Simple Green
- Super Clean
- Purple Power


All of them will attack aluminum, paint, and rubber.

Steam.

Back in the day ...... we just used gasoline and an old paint brush .......:popcorn:

Not that I ever did anything stupid like that ...... http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...mages/sigh.gif

Yep!
If you have never half destroyed your parents asphalt laneway you have never truly cleaned your engine!

I would wipe off the excesses first and then probably just use WD-40 to clean it off...

Thanks guys
