Default Upper Engine Cleaner Pros ?

Hey Guys,

I've never used this before. What I want to know is if Ive put a new set of spark plugs on my car will this damage the new plugs if I run half a can through the manifold like people say to do so ?

Also after spraying the cleaner how long should it sit in the manifold before running the car ?

And once the car is running how long should it be run for before repeating the process if need be ?

Also what should I notice if I do this upper eng clean ?


Cheers

It's pretty much all on the side of the can.

Definitely worth doing each service. Just do it BEFORE you change your oil.

Yep its all written on can. Plenty of youtube vids too.

Can't remember the recommended interval but I only use it every 2nd service.

You should use the whole can though, half sits in before running, other half runs through at "idle", but you needto give it throttle as it will be hard to crank over and drop sharply when you spray it in.

**edit: yes do before oil change and Warm up motor beforehand.

Spray from the right hose is important
