Oil System Cleaner Service

Why would your vehicle need an engine oil system cleaner? Engine sludge develops when oil breaks down and accumulates on engine parts – usually because the oil hasn’t been changed often enough. Stop-and-go driving with short commutes accelerates this process. 

Sludge can collect in areas that interfere with regular lubrication, leading to potentially catastrophic internal engine damage. Sludge accumulations retain heat and interfere with the remaining oil's ability to absorb and draw heat away from engine parts. 

How Does an Oil System Cleaner Service Help Your Car? 

An oil system treatment cleans sludge out of your engine before an oil change service. Here’s how the process works:

• An American LubeFast® technician pours the oil system treatment into the engine. The engine oil system cleaner cleans out sludge, gum, and varnish deposits. 
• The oil system treatment, old oil, and contaminants drain out of the engine and are replaced with new oil. 

An oil system treatment improves oil circulation and motor oil’s ability to absorb and control heat. With the sludge removed, the new oil better lubricates engine components, reduces wear, and restores the engine to peak performance. A clean-running engine is also a great way to keep your vehicle green!

Signs Your Vehicle Needs an Oil System Cleaner Treatment

You may need an oil system cleaner service if any of the following conditions apply:

• Your Check Oil Light keeps turning on.
• You have gone too long between oil changes. 
• You see signs of sludge build-up in your oil cap. 

Regular oil change services based on manufacturer recommendations are the best way to minimize sludge buildup in your engine. If any of the above warning signs apply, contact American LubeFast to see if you need an oil treatment service.
