Oil pan cleaning

fozzydj · 07-27-2019, 03:11 PM

Hi,

Oil pans off. Been using a Dremel and WD40 for exterior.

Gasket was leaking so the inside has some residue around the top, burnt oil type sticky stuff.

Ive used WD40 on the inside also to clean it out, its shining now - but then thought, will this contaminate my oil? If I dry it out nicely, remove all the WD within it will it be ok?

Clean it however you want and then use mineral spirits or gasoline to rinse it out.
