Catalog The metal surfaces inside an internal combustion engine are typically coated with varnish, carbon, dust, and metal particles. The varnish is formed at elevated temperatures as the lubricating oil distills. The distillate produced is known as varnish. The carbon is formed as a product of combustion, along with oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, various acids, unburned fuel, water vapor, etc.
Dust is ingested through imperfect air filters.
These ingredients combine to form an abrasive, destructive melange which accumulates and bakes into crevices, clogging the metal pores, and contributes to increased friction and, indeed, metal fatigue. The Microlon Cleaning Complex dissolves the sludge and varnish and allows it to go into solution with the lubricating oil. Microlon Liquids do not displace any of the lubricating oils in an engine. The Cleaning Complex is completely volatile and dissipates from the engine within the first hour of operation, after it has completed its cleaning task. The metal surfaces have now been clinically cleaned of contaminants.
