Hey everyone. Could I get a recommendation for a safe degreaser for removing oil from the undercarriage of the truck? I have an oil pan gasket leak that is covering the oil pan and transmission pan and gear oil on the front differential that I am trying to find the leak. There is more oil along the centerline of the vehicle on the crossmembers. I also have old oil from the rear axle (pinion seal, was replaced, I suspect it is seeping again) around the front of the differential (I don't know if it is gear oil or motor oil). Is there a degreaser that is safe for rubber parts that will do a good job? I could find several of them at Walmart, but I am concerned about accidentally hitting the rubber parts and gaskets.

 

Simple Green. Follow the directions to dilute it. Spray it on liberally. Hose it off with a moderate stream of water.

Works great on engine bays and I just read a review from a grease monkey on a dragster pit crew that uses it to clean grease off his tools and parts.

 

X2 on the Simple Green.

There are other degreasers that may do a better job but may not be as enviromentally safe or as safe to other materials. I've even used it to degrease my hands after finishing a job.

 

nice imma go buy me some so i can clean my Engine =)

 

i used gunk engine degreaser on mine, works great but engine has to be cold when applying....kinda flammable... i could use a couple more cans tho

 

Purple Power, Bleach white, Simple Green, Engine degreaser in the white can with orange cap (cant remember the name) If you have a local detail shop near by stop and see them. I used to work for Detail King if anybodies familiar and they have some really great products. Specially tire shine =)

 

That's the "GUNK" Brand engine degreaser, same as I used, i'm gonna try their foaming one next time...

 

SUPER CLEAN. Its in a purple jug. Wear Gloves/goggles. Probably not friendly to the environment but its the best stuff I have ever used
Cuts through old grease and oil like warm butter. Highly recommend.
