Hi guys,
Every 5,000kms i use 'Subaru Upper Engine Cleaner' on My 2000 model WRX CLUB SPEC.
Have people heard of this product before? ( refer to attached photo)
Subaru recommend it, as..
"Engine power output is created by the burning of fuel in a vehicle's cylinders. As petrol is a hydrocarbon fuel, made up of hydrogen and carbon, after combustion it leaves carbon as a by-product or deposit. Over a relatively short period of time the carbon deposits on the walls of the combustion chamber, the piston crown (top surface), and on the valves, can result in the deterioration of engine efficiency. This may lead to poor fuel economy, reduced power and harder starting.
To overcome this situation, the factory has formulated ‘Upper Engine Cleaner (SA459)’, which is a concentrated combustion chamber and induction system cleaner. This product helps clean and purge gum, varnish, and carbon deposits. Using this solvent during scheduled servicing has proven to be a valuable form of preventative maintenance.
If your vehicle were subjected to regular stop/start driving, short trips, or poor fuel quality, the build up of gum, varnish, and carbon deposits would be far more rapid. In addition to ‘Upper Engine Cleaner (SA459)’, we suggest the use of ‘SA718 Fuel Additive’ to maximise your engine’s protection against such concerns.
Both products have been specially formulated by Fuji Heavy Industries, the manufacturer of your Subaru vehicle, to be compatible with the Subaru horizontally opposed engine and it’s technically advanced electronics. These products are available through all authorised Subaru Dealers. ''
It contains-
Butane - 10%
Propane - 10%
Aliphatic/Aromatic Hydrocarbons (toluene, benzene, acetone etc) - 60%
Ammonium Hydroxide -10%
Butyl cellosolve - 10% (This is the foaming additive)
Obvoiusly we would not use this on a MPS for the reason it is not a Boxer Engine but i have heard of others using it on S14's, Commodores etc etc with good results.
Anyone used it on their MPS?
Should i be the test dummy? lol
Cheers
