Introduction
Congratulations on your selection of the MOTORVAC OILCLEAN 1000 SYSTEM. By
choosing this product, you are acquiring the most technologically advanced method available for
cleaning varnish, sludge, soft carbon and other contaminants from gasoline and diesel engine oiling
systems.
The OILCLEAN 1000 is a self-contained cleaning system, designed to connect to any gasoline or
diesel engine (up to 9.5L / 10 qts of crankcase capacity). Once the unit is connected, it temporarily
replaces the regular oil filter, allowing a specially formulated MotorVac Cleaning Detergent
mixture to circulate throughout the engines lubricating system.
The OILCLEAN 1000 will pump a special cleaning fluid into the vehicles oil pan.
With the engine idling, the oil/detergent mixture is circulated through the engine’s lubricating
system. As the mixture passes through the engine’s lubricating system, it loosens and dissolves
accumulated deposits, which then pass harmlessly out of the engine and are removed by the unit’s
5-micron filter. Removing contaminants from the engine’s lubricating system creates better oil flow,
which improves horsepower, increases fuel economy, and reduces exhaust emissions.
Please refer to the chart below for the recommended service intervals:
Type of Vehicle
Automobile - Gasoline 12,000 – 15,000 miles or 19,000 – 24,000 kilometers
or once a year
Automobile - Diesel 12,000 – 15,000 miles or 19,000 – 24,000 kilometers
Light-Duty Trucks or once a year
