Washing the Engine of a Boxster
in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Posted
There is a gunk gel that is in a spray can that works very well and it actually sticks to what you aim at instead of dripping everywhere. You spray, let sit for 10 minutes or so and then just rinse. When I am changing oil and make my usual mess (still need to figure out how to not make a mess anytime I work on the boxster) I just give it a spray while still jacked up, go inside and get the drink of water (or beverage of choice), go back out and just spray off with garden hose and "rain"selection with spray handle. Then I go for a good run to dry everything off, make sure I don't have leaks, and enjoy the car. This way the engine stays clean and i don't have to smell burning oil (unless I didn't tighten up the oil filter canister all the way) and if something is wrong, i know it sooner than later. Also any leaks that may be trying to develop is hopefully seen before it becomes a problem.
