Does the engine compartment need cleaning?

[StHadley]

The engine compartment does require cleaning. In fact, cleaning the engine compartment is even more crucial as it accumulates dirt during driving. If left uncleaned for extended periods, it can affect driving safety and the lifespan of the car's engine. Neglecting engine compartment cleaning can easily lead to accidents: Statistics show that 90% of car fires are caused by the engine. Short circuits in engine wiring or oil leaks can trigger accidents. The engine operates at high temperatures for prolonged periods, and the accumulation of oil sludge and dust on wiring and oil lines can easily cause aging and damage, leading to accidents. Methods for cleaning the engine compartment: First, use a brush to remove surface dust, especially in crevices. If dust cannot be brushed off, wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn oil stains that a damp cloth can't remove, spray engine cleaner and scrub with a brush, avoiding direct contact with wiring connections. Finally, rinse with water and dry with a towel.
