I bought a car last day. Today, I saw the car need engine cleanliness on its safety inspection report. Who can tell me the meaning of engine cleanliness? is it a big problem? do I have to do that? direct consequence if not to do that? Manifold condition of the car go bad. I need to change a new one? Who can tell me where to repair car?. o8 r6 t. c: D p7 a- Q7 b& V% R
don't know what so called engine cleanliness means, most likely, I guess it's just engine fresh. it's simple and easy, just pour a bottle of fresh fluid, then run the engine for like 20 minutes. after that, change engine oil, that's all.6 r* T1 |! M' G# L

希望你新买的旧车好运!
it could be a engine shampoo as well, like the gentleman mentioned before, but what i'm trying to say is if the mechanic refuse to do a inspection on your vehicle only because of a dirty engine, just walk out and find another shop down the street then. they always wanna oversell their service that you don't even need.; a5 c+ Z. ?3 Q; ~* n
