Removes harmful deposits. Improves oil circulation. Cleans engine in 5 minutes. Engine oils can form acids as a result of the combustion process and oxidation. Even after draining the engine oil and changing the filter, residual acid contamination can remain in the crankcase in sludge form which in turn can corrupt the protection properties of your new oil. Adding Silverhook Engine Flush to your used oil before draining helps neutralise acid, dissolves varnish and remove sludge that ordinary draining would leave behind whilst providing friction proofing during treatment.
This guide is for vehicle owners and mechanics seeking to maintain engine health and efficiency. Silverhook Engine Flush (SGA06) effectively cleans internal engine components, removing harmful deposits and improving oil circulation. A key benefit is the neutralization of acid residue that can contaminate fresh oil. It's important to note that while it provides significant cleaning, it's not a substitute for regular oil changes.
