CRC Engine Degreaser, Clear Light Amber Liquid, 15 Ounce (Pack of 1)

I've since bought several cans of this and CRC Brakeklean. They work great on grease, oil, etc. Even on clothes.

I've used a lot of these products over the years with lots of hope and generally little success. The CRC product is different. I've used CRC products for most of the other shop chemicals I use at home and have had a lot of luck with their products over the years so I thought I'd give this one a try while doing some work on my old 1983 Dodge W150. I was pulling the valve covers to do valve stem seals and valve cover gaskets and the engine was basically a black mess of caked on oil and gunk.The degreaser worked amazing, unlike all the products I've tried in the past, the engine bay was effectively returned to factory paint. I've added a quick spritz of this to the under hood areas of all my vehicles now and the results are amazing. Engine areas look almost pressure washed with only a garden hose and spray nozzle for cleanup.That said, I did have one issue and I think it is more to do with how effective it is. I replaced the front seal and oil pump gasket on his 1997 LX450 after it appears to have been leaking for the better part of a decade. The whole engine bay was soaked with oil, with the timing cover being especially bad. I had to do a couple of soaks to get the grime all the way removed and I was either a bit overzealous or indiscriminate and after I was done, there was definitely noise coming from the alternator bearings. I'm guessing that the degreaser penetrated the sealed bearning in the front of the alternator and led to its impending failure. So, be careful around sealed bearing components like idler pulleys and alternators would be my only suggestion. Not really a fault of the product.

Seems like it ran out quick on a greasy engine. Better buy a couple if you have a big job. Also needed to wire Bush as well to get it to bite in and start shining.

Does what it’s supposed to do

the product itself is fantastic -the seller however is anything but -do yourself a favor and just purchase from another seller for cheaper -drop ship seller and uses whatever for packing and boxing not to mention the forever wait to get it ...
