Lincoln Aviator: Vehicle Care / Cleaning the Engine
Engines are more efficient when they are
clean because grease and dirt buildup keep
the engine warmer than normal.
When washing:
- Take care when using a power washer
to clean the engine. The high-pressure
fluid could penetrate the sealed parts
and cause damage.
- Do not spray a hot engine with cold water
to avoid cracking the engine block or
other engine components.
- Spray Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and
Degreaser on all parts that require
cleaning and pressure rinse clean. In
Canada, use Motorcraft Engine Shampoo.
Note: If your vehicle has an engine cover
remove the cover before application of
Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and Degreaser.
Immediately rinse away any over spray.
- Never wash or rinse the engine while it
is hot or running; water in the running
engine may cause internal damage.
- Never wash or rinse any ignition coil,
spark plug wire or spark plug well, or the
area in and around these locations.
- Cover the battery, power distribution box,
and air filter assembly to prevent water
damage when cleaning the engine.
