Subaru Upper Engine Cleaner

Recommended Posts

During a thread dig, Alias and Cliffdunedin mentioned a subaru upper engine cleaner, after googling this product also, decided to give it a go.

Boy does it make a difference. It returns to idle smoother, the engine breathes easier and little vacuum leak symptoms dramatically lessened. The most noticeable thing was 1st gear, the car no longer jerks and stammer, just smoothly idles along, and the throttle response is alot better (without load).

Made all this difference AFTER i cleaned my intake and throttle body thoroughly. Highly recommended !!

Don't use on cars with o2 sensors unless you're going to remove them before doing this. regular oil changes are the key

Glad to hear it worked well on your Bimmer! From my experience has worked magic on Subarus and Mitsibishis.
