Subaru XV Engine degrease
Should I degrease my Subaru XV engine?
It’s not imperative that your Subaru XV’s engine needs to be degreased often, but there are some benefits of having a clean engine, especially if you have oil leaks, looking to do work on or around the engine or looking to sell your Subaru XV. If you look at your engine and can see residual oil, grease and grime buildup, it's probably time to consider degreasing the engine.
Engine degrease isn’t recommended to be done at home unless you can collect the waste product and dispose of it safely. Select self serve car washes provide engine cleaning bays and car detailers are able to carry out Subaru XV engine degreasing
You might be asking why would you need to degrease a Subaru XV 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 are just as important as detailing your Subaru XV. A clean engine and engine bay give the impression that your Subaru XV 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 Subaru XV 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.
Also, it’s not nice working on a dirty engine, mechanics appreciate a clean workplace to carry out repairs and if you were to open the bonnet and touch something in the engine bay it’s a much more pleasant experience when it’s clean so you don’t have to worry about getting dirty. Clean car, happy life.
