CLEANING THE ENGINE
Note:
To prevent damage to the engine control module, never
spray-wash it directly. Never spray any connector.
Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt
build-up 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.
•
Never wash or rinse the engine while it is hot or running; water in
the running engine may cause internal damage.
CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND WIPER BLADES
Clean the windows and wiper blades regularly. If the wipers do not wipe
properly, substances on your vehicle’s glass or the wiper blades may
cause squeaking or chatter noise from the blades, and streaking and
smearing of the windshield. To clean these items follow these tips:
•
Clean the windows with a non-abrasive cleaner, such as Motorcraft
Ultra-Clear Spray Glass Cleaner.
•
The wiper blades can be cleaned with isopropyl-rubbing alcohol or
Motorcraft Premium Windshield Washer Concentrate in the United
States, or Premium Quality Windshield Washer Fluid in Canada. Be
sure to replace wiper blades when they appear worn or do not
function properly.
•
Do not use abrasives, as they may cause scratches.
•
Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint thinner to clean any parts.
If you cannot remove those streaks after cleaning with the glass cleaner
or if the wipers chatter and move in a jerky motion, clean the outer
surface of the windshield and the wiper blades using a sponge or soft
cloth with a neutral detergent or mild-abrasive cleaning solution. After
cleaning, rinse the windshield and wiper blades with clean water. The
windshield is clean if beads do not form when you rinse the windshield
with water.
