PROFI-CAR Motor Cleaner is a fast-acting engine oil cleaning treatment designed to clean and flush the engine’s internal oil system before an oil change. Its concentrated combination of active ingredients helps dissolve sludge and deposits that accumulate throughout the lubrication system, allowing contaminants and oil residues to be removed with the old engine oil.
During normal engine operation, oil can accumulate sludge, carbon-related deposits, and other contaminants. These residues can remain inside the oil circuit and contribute to contamination of fresh engine oil after an oil change. PROFI-CAR Motor Cleaner helps dissolve these sludge-like deposits throughout the oil system, thereby reducing the contamination of the new oil with residues from the previous oil.
The product is specifically intended as a pre-oil-change engine flush. PROFI-CAR recommends adding it to the old engine oil before the oil change and allowing the engine to idle while stationary. After the cleaning process, the old oil and filter are changed, and fresh engine oil is added. This procedure allows the loosened deposits to leave the engine with the old lubricant.
PROFI-CAR Motor Cleaner is also intended for situations in which poor engine compression is caused by impurities or deposits on the piston rings. Cleaning these deposits can help restore cleaner operating conditions around the affected components, although the product should not be considered a repair for mechanically worn or damaged piston rings or cylinders.
The manufacturer states that the product is suitable for gasoline, gas/LPG, and diesel engines, including engines with or without turbochargers. This makes it applicable to a broad range of passenger-car engine configurations.
The official product information lists several benefits, including effective internal engine cleaning, elimination of black sludge, optimized exhaust gases, prevention of inadequate lubrication and reduction of wear. These benefits are associated with removing contaminants from the lubrication system and preparing the engine for fresh oil.
PROFI-CAR Motor Cleaner should therefore be viewed as a temporary engine-oil flushing treatment used immediately before an oil change, rather than as a long-term oil additive. It is removed together with the old engine oil and filter after the specified cleaning period.

FAQ
What is PROFI-CAR Motor Cleaner used for?
It is used to clean and flush the engine oil circuit before an oil change. It helps dissolve sludge and deposits accumulated throughout the lubrication system.
Does PROFI-CAR Motor Cleaner remove black sludge?
Yes. The official product information specifically states that it eliminates black sludge and cleans residues from inside the engine.
Is it a permanent engine oil additive?
No. It is a temporary engine cleaning and flushing treatment. It is added to the old engine oil before an oil change and is then removed together with the old oil and filter.
Can it be used in diesel engines?
Yes. The official technical data sheet specifies gasoline, gas/LPG, and diesel engines.
Is it suitable for turbocharged engines?
Yes. PROFI-CAR specifies engines with and without turbochargers.
Can it help with poor compression?
It can be used when poor compression is caused by impurities or deposits on piston rings. It should not be considered a repair for mechanically worn or damaged piston rings, cylinders or other engine components.
How long should the engine idle after adding the cleaner?
The official technical data sheet specifies approximately 15–30 minutes while stationary.
Should the oil filter be changed afterward?
Yes. The manufacturer’s application procedure specifies changing both the engine oil and filter after the treatment.
Can I drive the car after adding Motor Cleaner?
No. The official procedure calls for the engine to idle while stationary, followed by draining the old oil and changing the filter.
How much engine oil can one treatment clean?
The official technical data sheet specifies a treatment range of approximately 3–5 liters of engine oil.
