TEC 2000 Engine Flush
Description
TEC 2000 Engine Flush is an innovative engine rinse for internal combustion engines. It effectively removes all contaminants found in piston ring grooves, oil gallery channels, and valve lifters. TEC 2000 Engine Flush eliminates deposits, carbon buildup, soot, and thoroughly cleans out used oil. One can is sufficient for 4-5 liters of oil in cars and 5-6 liters of oil in motorcycles.
When to use?
- When the engine is burning oil
- When the vehicle emits dark or blue smoke
- If the engine is burning oil, resulting in dark or blue smoke, it indicates that the piston rings are not sealing properly against the cylinder walls, allowing oil to pass into the combustion chamber.
- The oil is being expelled through the crankcase ventilation system
- The oil has been in use for more than 15,000 kilometers
- The oil is older than 12 months
- The car has primarily been driven in city conditions
- You bought a car or engine and don't know its history
- Low or uneven compression
- If the engine has starting problems, it may indicate that the piston rings have become stuck due to carbon buildup and have stopped moving within their grooves. During engine operation, pressure in the combustion chamber leaks into the lower part of the piston, reducing compression in the combustion chamber and causing oil blow-by. There is also a possibility that the piston rings have suffered mechanical damage, which occurs in approximately 1 out of 10 cases.
- You can hear valve lifters
- You see carbonized piston rings
- You experience a decrease in engine power
- There is reduced efficiency of the oil system
- There is an issue with oil consumption
- A large amount of contaminants, including carbon deposits, can negatively affect the flow capacity of oil passages, leading to a restriction in the amount of oil flowing through. This situation is dangerous not only for the engine but also for the turbocharger
How does it work?
TEC 2000 Engine Flush
It increases compression in the cylinders
It removes deposits and carbon buildup from all internal surfaces of the engine
It allows achieving full oil performance immediately after replacement
It cleans and quiets hydraulic valve lifters
It increases engine power by freeing stuck piston rings
It removes deposits from oil passages and piston ring grooves
It neutralizes harmful acids in the oil
It reduces harmful exhaust emissions
How to use
TEC 2000 Engine Flush
TEC 2000 Engine Flush should be used during a standard oil change.
Add the product to the engine, directly into the old oil. The engine should reach normal operating temperature. After adding the product, let the engine idle for about 10-15 minutes (the car should be in a ventilated area or outside to avoid exhaust fumes). After this time, drain the old oil, install a new filter, and top up with new oil.
In cases where engine problems such as sticky piston rings, uneven compression, increased oil consumption, or black smoke occur, the treatment with the product should last about 25-30 minutes before the oil is changed.
The unique combination of highly effective detergents along with very efficient lubrication allows for the use of the product in all types of internal combustion engines – gasoline, diesel, and gas-powered. The operation is completely safe for the engine.
375ml
For 4-5 liters of oil.
Manual
Warm up the engine
until the engine coolant temperature reaches approximately 60°C
Turn off the engine
Remove the oil filler cap and pour the product into the engine
1 can (375 ml) for 4-5 liters of engine oil
Tighten the oil filler cap
Start the engine and let it idle for about 15 minutes
Note 1: Leave the car in a private property or in a well-ventilated area. Note 2: If there is suspicion of a large amount of carbon deposits in the engine, if the engine exhibits increased smoke, or consumes more than 1 liter of oil per 1000 km, the flushing process can be extended.
Turn off the engine, remove the oil filter, and drain the used oil along with the flush
Install a new oil filter and pour engine oil to the appropriate level
Start the engine for about 30 seconds, then turn it off. Check the oil level and top it up to the appropriate level if needed
Engine Flush is one of the first and few products to abandon Chlorinated Hydrocarbons - meaning no harmful vapors during product use and a cleaner environment.
TEC 2000 Engine Flush is recognized as one of the most effective engine cleaning products. It is very easy to use in any conditions. The formula of TEC 2000 Engine Flush has been present on the global market for over 20 years and enjoys an excellent reputation among automotive professionals.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
- The composition of TEC 2000 Engine Flush
- Can Engine Flush be used in petrol and diesel engines?
- Is there a difference in application for a dry and wet clutch?
- Does Engine Flush contain molybdenum or Teflon?
- Does Engine Flush contain sulfur?
- Is Engine Flush safe for Nikasil coating?
- Can the DPF be damaged when using Engine Flush?
- Can you drive a car after pouring Engine Flush into the engine?
- Why is this remedy so expensive?
- Has there been any damage to the engine after using the flush?
The Engine Flush contains four ingredients: A) The primary cleaning compound is a newly developed Toluene C7H8 (toluene) (a surface-active compound with additional protection against interaction with plastics). Toluene has been modified and its boiling point increased. B) Ester solvent (mild - organic). C) Anti-wear additives ZDDP. D) Hydrocarbons serve as carriers for solvents and additives. TEC 2000 Engine Flush works during the mixing (operation) of the oil at the engine's operating temperature. However, the flush does not work during periods of rest without mixing and without the appropriate temperature. In contrast to naphtha, TEC 2000 Flush contains ZDDP anti-wear additives and cleaning agents that penetrate and dissolve carbon deposits rather than dislodging them. Therefore, TEC 2000 Engine Flush is safe for the engine/gaskets, stronger, and safer than naphtha or extraction gasoline. Remember to pour new oil into a clean engine that has been safely cleaned from the inside with TEC 2000 Engine Flush.
Yes. The preparation is intended for petrol and diesel engines. In cars, trucks, motorcycles and boats. It is not recommended for two-stroke engines, however, for gear transmissions and wet clutches it is recommended to be used together with Oil Booster.
Yes. Dosage for a dry clutch is 375ml - 1 can for 4-5L of oil Dosage for a wet clutch is 375ml - 1 can for 5-6L of oil
Does not contain.
Does not contain.
Yes, because it does not contain sulfur compounds that are dangerous to the Nikasil coating.
No, because the product does not produce soot when burned.
Not recommended. Normally, the engine should be operated at normal or higher idle speed. The time spent on washing the engine from pouring in to draining the old oil should not exceed 1 hour.
The price results directly from the technology and ingredients used in production. The composition of the preparation is the result of many years of research and testing. Ingredients that rinse and protect engine components without causing any negative effects. Flushing the engine with extraction gasoline may damage engine components, cylinder surfaces, and in extreme cases even lead to seizure. Engine Flush is safe for the engine. A product used in motorsport, manufactured in Great Britain, guarantees quality.
Many years of use of the product have brought positive comments. To be sure, we conducted a long-term test on the 1.8 8V engine. The car was driven for over 14 days in urban conditions, 16 kilometers a day. The engine had one full dose of Engine Flush poured into it and the magnetic screw was screwed in. After draining the oil, we did not notice any change in the amount of filings on the magnetic screw.
