FAQs
How often should I use this diesel treatment pack?
It is generally recommended to use this type of treatment pack as part of a regular maintenance schedule, typically every 6,000 to 10,000 miles, or as indicated in your vehicle's service manual.
Can I use the Engine Flush with synthetic oil?
Yes, the Engine Flush is designed to be compatible with both mineral and synthetic engine oils. It helps to clean the engine internals regardless of the base oil type.
Is this product suitable for all diesel engines?
This product is formulated for general use in diesel engines. However, it's always best to consult your vehicle's owner's manual for any specific product restrictions or recommendations.
Do I need to change my oil filter after using the Engine Flush?
Yes, it is crucial to replace the oil filter after performing an engine flush and draining the old oil. The flush process dislodges contaminants that will be trapped by the new filter.
Can I mix the treatments together?
No, the treatments are designed to be used sequentially as part of a process. The Engine Flush is used before an oil change, the Oil Treatment is added with new oil, and the Injector Cleaner is added to the fuel tank.
What happens if I add too much Injector Cleaner?
Adding an excessive amount of injector cleaner to the fuel tank is generally not recommended. While minor overages are unlikely to cause major harm, it's best to follow the instructions precisely to ensure optimal results and avoid potential issues.
Troubleshooting
Engine runs rough after adding Injector Cleaner
Ensure the correct amount was added to a full tank of diesel. If a dosage error is suspected, top up with additional diesel fuel. If the problem persists, consult a mechanic.
Engine Flush instructions not clear
Always add Engine Flush to the old oil *before* draining. Run the engine at idle only for the specified time (15-20 minutes); do not drive. Ensure complete draining of old oil and residue.
No noticeable improvement in performance
Allow sufficient driving time for the additives to circulate and work. If the engine has severe underlying issues, these products may not fully resolve performance problems. Consider a professional inspection.
Oil pressure warning light comes on after Engine Flush
Immediately turn off the engine. Check the engine oil level. If low, refill with the correct grade of oil. Ensure the oil filter was replaced and is correctly seated. If the issue persists, seek professional diagnosis.
