Social survey: how to clean injectors without removing them from the engine and getting to know Hi-Gear products

Description, composition and properties of the product

HG2205
Hi-Gear Quick Engine Flush - a special chemical composition for radical cleaning of the system. It contains substances that form an emulsion that envelops small pieces of decay products, soot, and deposits, and thereby prevents them from coming into contact with moving parts during the procedure.

Effectively breaks down and eliminates carbon deposits. Restores the functionality of individual parts of the system. Regular use of this product allows you to do without servicing the internal combustion engine and extends its service life. Oil and filters perform their duties better after the procedure.

Intended for gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines (including turbocharged ones) with a lubrication system volume of 4-5 liters.

Types of hi gear additives

Automotive additives are designed to increase the service life of various vehicle systems and parts, for example, to extend the life of an engine or transmission. And also ensure their uninterrupted and efficient operation. Highgir brand products cope with these tasks perfectly.

One of the important differences between additives and other companies is their adaptability to Russian vehicle operating conditions and domestically produced cars.

Today the company produces a wide range of automotive products in the following categories:

1. engine lubrication system;
2. gasoline engines;
3. diesel engines;
4. cooling system;
5. transmission, steering and braking system;
6. The newest universal smt2 additive stands out.

Chemical additives are used as a protective and preventative agent and are not intended for repair. With the correct and timely use of additives, it is possible to delay or completely avoid the repair of some automotive systems and components (for example, overhaul of an engine, gearbox, transmission).

Lubrication system

The most popular and popular category of auto chemicals. And this is not surprising, because a good lubrication system is the key to long and reliable operation of the engine. Its care is provided by the company’s products, which are a whole complex of oil additives, divided into the following areas:

• express washes - 5 and 10-minute washes quickly remove contaminants from all channels of the system and from internal engine elements, and are poured into the system before a complete engine oil change.
• soft cleaners - effectively clean the engine lubrication system and crankcase ventilation during vehicle operation.
• oil additive complex - universal multifunctional compounds added to oil. Provide strengthening and restoration of its characteristics and qualities. Designed for all types of engines, taking into account their degree of wear.

Diesel engines

The hi gear additive for diesel will help prevent the formation of contaminants on the elements of the fuel system and improve the quality of the diesel engine. It is represented by a wide range of products in several subcategories:

• detergent additives - in the form of diesel injector cleaners - return the injectors to their original condition.
• Depressant additives (anti-gels) are additives that lower the freezing point of diesel fuel in winter.
• additives and specials compositions - created to improve the quality of diesel fuel, ensure complete combustion of diesel.

Gasoline engines

They fight carbon deposits that form in the fuel system and improve the quality of gasoline. The company also produces products designed for older carburetor engines.

• detergent compositions - represented by injector cleaners, quickly and effectively remove deposits from the injector and fuel supply system.
• Carburetor cleaners - perfectly restore the characteristics of the carburetor, saving the car owner from repairing the unit.
• octane correctors significantly increase the octane number of gasoline, improving its quality. This fuel additive also cleans the system.
• universal products - multifunctional additives for gasoline engines gently and effectively clean the fuel supply system.

Cooling system

A malfunction in the cooling system leads to increased fuel consumption and oil waste, which reduces engine power and service life. Hi gear products designed for this system will help you cope with this problem. They are presented in the following categories:

• detergent compositions - seven-minute preparations that efficiently and quickly clean the system of accumulated scale, grease, rust and other contaminants.
• sealants are indispensable helpers when antifreeze leaks occur.

Automatic transmission, steering and braking system

Of no small importance in the car are such systems as: automatic transmission, power steering and brake system. Not only comfort, but also safety during movement significantly depends on them.

Tools for automatic transmission:

• flushing - 10 and 15-minute flushing preparations for automatic transmissions provide them with initial clarity and stability of operation. They efficiently clean the machine from dirt and ensure protection of all its elements.
• tuning for automatic transmissions - keep the transmission system in excellent condition and prevent premature wear of all its elements.
• sealants - quickly eliminate machine leaks (within 15 kilometers).

Means for power steering:

• Power steering fluids are means for trouble-free and stable operation of vehicle power steering.
• sealants and tunings - easily and quickly eliminate system leaks (in just 150 kilometers). They include a conditioner that enhances the antifriction properties (the ability to reduce the coefficient of friction of other metals) of additives.

Products for the brake system by various cleaners - highly effective products for caring for the brake system of a car. They clean and degrease almost all metal surfaces well.

Universal smt2 additive

Metal conditioner smt2 is the latest development of the company. The product significantly reduces the coefficient of friction, preventing premature wear of engine and transmission components, which significantly extends the service life of the units.

The additive is added to lubricants and delivered with them to components and elements. There it forms a thin, durable, self-healing film that prevents friction of parts. As a result of its use:

• fuel consumption is reduced (by 10-15%) and oil;
• engine noise is reduced;
• dynamics improves;
• engine power increases;
• makes cold starting of the machine easier;
• technical data of worn parts are restored;
• emissions into the environment are reduced.

Instructions for use

The Hi-Gear 5-minute engine flush is used as follows:

• warm up the engine and turn it off;
• add the product to the existing oil in the system;
• start the engine and let it idle for five minutes;
• turn off the engine and drain the oil;
• change the filter and oil with new ones.

One container with the product is enough for 4-5 liters of oil. For very heavy contamination or a larger lubrication system, use 2 packs. But this volume cannot be exceeded - the seals may be damaged.

Reviews

Evgeniy, 35 years old

Excellent additive. I pour the additive, drive as much as necessary according to the instructions, install a contract engine, the result: it does not consume oil, lubricant consumption has decreased.

Arseny, 28 years old

The additive saved me a lot of nerves. An incident occurred: an almost new car (50 thousand kilometers, only a year of service) sat for two years without being driven. When the car was started, it smoked for three days. I was already thinking about changing the rings, but I decided to fill in this flush and the car stood running for 4 hours, then I drove it for 50 kilometers and the smoke completely disappeared.

Nikolay, 50 years old

I filled in the hi gear smt2 flush and changed the caps and rings and the car stopped eating oil. I'm sure it's not a matter of replacing parts. The cleaner helped.

Vladimir, 47 years old

I know from experience that without an additive the lubricant is always dark, and after cleaning, for the first 2-3 thousand kilometers I don’t even see the oil on the dipstick, it’s so transparent.

Sergey, 39 years old

I’ve been using the cleaner with SMT 2 for 1.5 years now and I’m happy with the work. The car doesn't smoke and drives well. I've been driving for 1.5 years, the mileage is almost 50 thousand km. I don’t get out of the car except to sleep.

Let's start with the fact that there is still debate among car enthusiasts about whether or not it is necessary to flush the engine before changing the oil. However, a clear answer to this question has not yet been found.

In short

• A competent flushing procedure first involves mechanical cleaning of the oil sump and valve cover, only then using auto chemicals. The essence of its application is simple - pour the composition into the oil, let the engine run and, depending on the type of flushing, drive with it. Next, the waste is drained, the filter is changed and new lubricant is refilled.
• When changing the oil base (synthetic - semi-synthetic, etc.), it is advisable to wash it with new oil, which is planned to be refilled further.
• There are accelerated washes and long-acting formulations, called soft ones. The latter have the advantage.
• Reviews of the Hi-Gear soft product are positive. In the technology of how to properly flush a car engine before changing the oil, there are cases when the flushing life is not rolled out in kilometers, but is developed in engine hours. This technology is less harmful to the engine, and the effect is almost the same.
• The LAVR line of automedicines is highly effective. The most popular is the “soft” liquid Motor Flush Soft.

Rating of special cleaners

After analyzing numerous reviews of store-bought cooling system cleaners from ordinary motorists, our resource has identified the four best products. The latter included products from the following manufacturers:

• 1st place – cleaner from Hi-Gear and LAVR. These products are very popular among many motorists, like other products from these companies. The presented cooling system cleaners wash all paths within 1-2 hours with the greatest possible effect. It is the quality and speed of the product that encourage motorists to use it;
• 2nd place – remedy from ABRO (ABRO). In principle, it is quite a worthy competitor to the leaders of the rating, but lasts slightly longer than cleaners from Hi-Gear and LAVR. The effect is approximately the same. Let us note that the ABRO company specializes in the production of auto chemicals, therefore their cooling mechanism cleaners are of very high quality;
• 3rd place – cleaning liquid from Luqui-Moli (Liqui-Moli). Compared to the two positions above, this product looks like a noticeably worse option for flushing the cooling system. Despite this, among the other cleaners on the market, it is the product from Luqui-Moli that works best, so it is definitely worth mentioning.

Advice! When flushing the cooling system, you will also need to check it for sufficient sealing. If any gaps or wear of the gaskets are detected, they can be sealed with a special sealant from ABRO. Perhaps this is the only manufacturer on the Russian market that produces really high-quality sealing materials for automotive components.

Advantages and disadvantages

The universal cleaning formula makes it possible to use the composition with any type of lubricant in any engine, even those operating with turbocharging.

Advantages of Hi Gear soft engine flushing:

• increasing the cleaning properties of motor oil;
• increasing and equalizing pressure in the cylinders;
• reduction of smoke and toxicity of exhaust gases;
• reducing or eliminating the knock of hydraulic compensators;
• reduction in fuel and engine oil consumption;
• increasing the power and throttle response of a car engine;
• restoration of uniform idle speed;
• cleaning piston rings from carbon deposits, restoring their mobility and fit;
• restoring the operation of the positive crankcase ventilation system valve and cleaning the PCV;
• reduction in the passage of gases into the engine crankcase, which leads to dilution and oxidation of the oil, decomposition of additives in the lubricant;
• absence of substances toxic to the engine, flushing can be present in the lubricant constantly;
• consolidation of contaminants in the oil pan thanks to unique technology.

Why do you need to flush the engine?

As is known, modern motor oils have various active properties, including detergent ones. In other words, if you use a high-quality product and replace it according to the regulations, problems with the cleanliness of the internal combustion engine should not arise, since the oil itself washes away carbon deposits and deposits.

However, if you practice switching from one oil to another, use low-grade products, exceed recommended replacement intervals, overheat the engine and the lubricant itself, operate the engine in harsh conditions, then the cleaning properties of the oil may not be sufficient.

As a result, plaque still forms on the internal surfaces, deposits accumulate, while the risks of other internal combustion engine breakdowns also increase, and the overall wear of the unit increases. To effectively remove dangerous dirt, there are two ways:

• disassembling the engine and completely cleaning the parts manually;
• use of special flushing liquids;

In turn, all flushes can be divided into full-volume flushing oils (instead of old oil, flushing liquid is poured into the system) and flushing into old oil (the composition is poured directly into the waste oil).

Let us add that each type has its own pros and cons, and is also selected in each specific case, taking into account the need for application, predicted end results, the wishes of the owner, recommendations of car service specialists, etc.
