Is200 Engine Wash?

Recommended Posts

What method is safe to use to wash the engine of an IS200? I read somewhere that older Lexus cars are really sensitive for the standard "hosing down" treatment... My car is 10 years old this year and I don't think it has ever had its engine cleaned. What do I do?

I've used Autoglym machine cleaner on my engine bay a few times and had no problems when I rinsed it off with a hose. All the electric plugs on the lexus seal with a rubber o-ring so as long as you use low pressure water to rinse and avoid the intakes you should be fine.

If in doubt though, bag it up beforehand.
