Opel/Vauxhall Engine degrease
Is It Time to Degrease Your Opel/Vauxhall Engine?
Engine degreaser is a formula that comes in liquid or aerosol form. There are various types of degreaser available and they all claim to do the same job, which is to remove oil, grease and road grime from Opel/Vauxhall engines. Some are more environmentally friendly than others so it’s a good thing to check the labels. However, even if you do use a biodegradable or environmentally safe engine degreaser, once it has been applied to the Opel/Vauxhall’s engine it is no longer safe and considered hazardous waste, due to it doing its job and dissolving harmful properties like oil and other contaminants. To capture and dispose of waste is important when degreasing an engine.
You might be asking why would you need to degrease your Opel/Vauxhall’s engine? It’s usually hidden under the bonnet and out of sight but if you are looking to sell a car then cleaning the engine and engine bay is just as important as detailing the car. A clean engine and engine bay give the impression that your Opel/Vauxhall has been taken care of and the cleaner and newer it looks increases the value.
Mechanics will often clean dirty engines before inspection as it’s easier to identify if there is a problem like an oil leak. If your Opel/Vauxhall’s engine is clean then it is easier to pick up on smaller issues before they become larger and more expensive problems. It’s really difficult to see a problem as grime build-up hides engine issues.
When you next have a Opel/Vauxhall service done you can ask the mechanic to degrease the engine as part of the service or you can go to a professional car detailer and have them degrease the Opel/Vauxhall’s engine.
