How to remove engine oil from silicone pipes?

cable96 · 07-23-2011, 12:21 PM

wassup, im about to reinspect and tighten some of the silicone pipes used on the aftermarket FMIC, theres probably going to be engine oil in it and before i reseat and tighten it again i need to make sure that its oil free. Does anyone know which cleaning agent will work the best in removing it? i was thinkin Isopropyl Alcohol or WD40, are those good enough or would you recommend something else?

Brake clean works for me, has alot of pressure to blast it away too.
