In fact, according to a study by The Car Connection, nearly half of Americans have trouble getting their car inside when it starts raining or snowing.
Fortunately, there are a few easy tips that will help you get your car inside without any trouble. In this article, we’ll teach you how to wash the engine of your car in order to keep it running smoothly all season long!
What you need
1. Water
2. Detergent

How to wash your car engine
If you have a car, there’s a good chance that it spends at least some time sitting in the driveway or garage. This means that the engine and interior surfaces are constantly exposed to water and other contaminants.
To keep your car running smoothly and to prevent potential damage, we recommend that you regularly clean the engine. Here’s how:
1. Remove the gas cap and unscrew the fuel line connector. Fill a bucket with cool water and pour it into the fuel tank. Turn off the car and disconnect the battery cable. Wait 10 minutes before starting the engine.
2. Pour about 1 gallon of hot water into the engine compartment, making sure to get all of the water into the intake manifold. Turn on the car and wait 30 seconds for it to warm up. Drain any water that accumulates in the reservoir or air cleaner box.
3. Remove the spark plugs by pressing down on their tops with a wrench while turning them counterclockwise with a screwdriver. Be careful not to drop them into the engine bay!
4. Pour about 1 quart of high-quality engine oil into the spark plug wells. Replace the spark plugs and tighten them with a wrench. Reattach the fuel line connector, battery cable, and gas cap.
5. Drive your car around for a few minutes to allow the oil to circulate. Check the oil level (it should be between 3/4 and 1 quart) and replace any needed oil filters.
How often to wash your car engine
Regularly washing your car engine can help to keep it running smoothly, prevent torn gaskets and reduce the chance of harmful emissions. Follow these tips to get the most out of your car engine wash:
– Start by cleaning all of the exterior surfaces of the car with a pressure washer. This will remove any accumulated dirt, pollen, or salt from the environment.
– Next, use a detergent soap and a hose to wash all of the internal parts of the engine. Make sure to use a mild soap as harsh chemicals can damage the engine over time. Use a circular motion to avoid scrubbing areas too harshly.
– Rinse off all of the soap residue and water stains. Finish up by spraying a degreaser onto any stubborn areas and wiping it clean with a cloth.
