INTRODUCTION
Simple and easy to operate, the OIL RX-3000, when used with authorized cleaning
solutions, removes carbon, sludge, varnish, gum, and other contaminants from the
engine’s oiling systems and related surfaces. This is accomplished by a connect
the machine’s oil inlet and return lines to the engine’s oil lter port.
The machine is powered by compressed air and the vehicle’s oil pump.
The engine’s oil is not required to be drained until after the cleaning process has
been completed.
While the engine is run at idle, a mixture of cleaning solution and motor oil is cir-
culated through the engine’s entire lubricating system, including the engine valve
covers, valve train and crankcase side walls and all oil-wetted surfaces. Sludge
and contaminants are removed from the engine by the machine’s 5-micron lter.
This lter is replaced after each service is performed.
An air ush feature is used to remove any leftover motor oil and cleaning solution
via the oil pan’s drain plug opening. The OIL RX-3000 series machines can also
measure the engine’s oil pump ow and oil pump pressure via a ow meter and a
pressure gauge. The OIL 3000 has a 64 ounce (1 LITER) reservoir for cleaning
solution.
NOTE: The machines new uid tube is used as a gauge to meter the precise
amount of cleaning solution into the oiling system’s oil stream.
When the timer has gone to zero the service is nished.
Two (2) lter bowls are available:
A 5” bowl for cleaning gasoline engines and a 10” bowl for cleaning diesel en-
gines.
The gas and diesel cleaning solution and lter kits are sold separately.

FIRST TIME OPERATION
REFER TO FIGURES A, B, C, D, AND E
Read the safety instructions and this entire manual
1. Pour 32 or 64 ounces of cleaning solution in the oil solution reservoir (B)
through the ll spout
2. The Oil RX - 3000 operate s on a minimum of 50 psi of compressed air.
Connect air line to the port marked “air inlet” (2). Note the reading on the
air pressure gauge attached to the air pressure regulator. It should read
no more than 35 psi. If an adjustment is needed, pull down on the black
knob and adjust accordingly. Push up on the adjusting knob to re-lock the
regulator in position.
3. Make sure the pet cock located on the oil lter bowl is closed.
4. The Oil 3000 machine is now ready for service.

CLEANING THE OIL SYSTEM
Overview
When cleaning the oiling system set engine speed at idle, or slightly above idle.
This is the most efcient and thorough method for cleaning the complete inside
of the engine’s oiling system including the hydraulic lifters, valve train, gear train,
oil pump, valve cover, crankcase sidewalls, oil galleys, and oil pan and any other
“oil-wetted” surfaces located inside the engine. Engines that are burning oil or
have other symptoms of low compression or poor mechanical condition should
not be cleaned.
• The machine’s lter must be replaced at each cleaning.
• The engine’s oil lter must be replaced at each cleaning.
• The engine’s oil must be changed after each cleaning.
The engine must be warm when starting the procedure. Since the engine is run-
ning during the procedure, an auxiliary heater is not required. The engine will
provide its own heat to insure a more thorough cleaning.
The cleaning cycle must be at least 10 minutes. The normal cleaning time is be-
tween 10 and 20 minutes, although some engines, including diesel, may require
longer times to completely clean the oil system.
During the cleaning process, cleaning solution mixes with the engine’s oil, as the
oil passes thru the oil lter mounted on the Oil 3000. The engine’s oil provides
lubrication for the engine and is the carrier for the cleaning compounds located in
the cleaning solution.
The cleaning solution/oil will circulate thru the machine, and the machine’s lter,
about 4 or 5 times per minute (average gasoline engine). The cleanig solution
will dissolve the sludge, varnish and tar inside the engine using the churning ac-
tion of the internal moving engine parts. The heavier contaminants, such as wear
metals and gasket particles, are ushed into the oil pan where they are picked
up by the engine’s oil pump and ltered out by the 5-micron lter located on the
machine.
At the end of the cleaning cycle, the oil is drained, and the engine is air ushed to
remove excess cleaning solution/oil that may be in the oil galleys, etc. Leaving a
small amount of cleaning solution in the engine is benecial, as it contains a seal
rejuvenating and oil conditioner.
Dispose of the old drain oil as you would regular drain oil.

CLEANING THE OIL SYSTEM
Step 1: Make sure the oil level in the engine is at least at the low mark. Make sure that
the engine is warm. Pour EFX cleaning solution into the machine’s tube reservoir.
Empty the lter bowl and install a new lter. Make sure the pet cock is closed.
Step 2: Remove the oil lter from the engine and replace it with the correct oil lter
adapter, using appendix ”b” as a guide.
Note: the adapters will spin-on-easily – do not force
them. Hand tight only.
Attach the red oil line (1r) to the center port on the oil lter adapter and the
black line (1b) to the side port.
Note: the center port is threaded 12mm for the red adapter lead (24a) and the
side port is threaded 10mm for the black adapter lead (24b).
Make sure all the control buttons are in the off position; that is, they are in the
“down” position. Attach an air line to the port marked “air inlet” located on the
side or back of the machine.
Step 3: Flip up the red switch (4) until the desired quantity of cleaning solution is
injected into the oil lter port. Start the engine and let it idle. Observe that
there is oil ow thru the ow meter (5) and that the oil pressure gauge (7)
shows pressure. Set the timer from between 10 and 20 minutes and
turn on the buzzer switch (9). check for leaks.
Step 4: When the timer goes back to zero, turn off the buzzer and shut off the engine.
Drain out the old oil and cleaning solution. While the drain plug is out,
ip the (6) air ush switch. This will ush out any excess oil/solution from the
engine. About 30 seconds is sufcient. Install the drain plug, remove the oil
lter adapter, install a new oil lter and ll the crankcase with motor oil. Start
the engine, check for leaks and recheck the oil level.
