How to prevent engine sludge buildup, simply?
By Bardahl • The 12/8/2021 • 5 min reading

We often forget, but like us, machinery needs maintenance! Over time, various parts can become clogged (due to fuel combustion deposits), causing:
- Loss of power
- Increased fuel consumption and, consequently, higher pollutant emissions
- Black smoke from the exhaust
All of these issues can even lead to:
- Car breakdowns
- A failed technical inspection
- Up to engine failure!
Fortunately, Bardahl has the solution, the result of its latest research: the 5-in-1 Cleaner! It is available in two versions: one for Diesel engines and another for gasoline engines. If your engine runs on E85 ethanol, Bardahl also offers an injector cleaner for that.
The 5-in-1 Cleaner works by cleaning the most sensitive components to clogging, namely:
- The turbo
- The particulate filter
- The exhaust valves and, more generally, the intake system
- The catalytic converter
- The EGR valve
Easy to use
No dismantling of these components is necessary! Bardahl's 5-in-1 Cleaner is poured into the fuel tank when the low fuel warning light comes on (find the complete instructions here). It is recommended to use it twice a year or every 5,000 km for urban driving, and once a year or every 10,000 km for suburban/highway driving.
Every 20,000 km, Bardahl, a specialist in high-performance chemical products for over 80 years, recommends an eco-cleaning at one of its specialized centers (more info here). This process, performed by professionals using a revolutionary machine, also helps reduce combustion deposits in the most sensitive parts of your engine.
