Cleaning an oil pan?

what should i use? just some dish soap and a tattered rag? kidding…

but really, what should i use to clean out the inside of an oil pan? i dont want to leave any lint or anything for obv reasons…

Actually a dishwasher would be great. Soap and water is good, then just blow it out with compressed air after.

dish soap is really good at de-greasing

brake cleaner

Brake cleaner is perfect for the last step…

the orage citrus based engine degreaser is great… cuz it doesnt kill your hands… use that and a hose… good to go

Use unscented DAWN and warm water.

kerosene… and a wire brush

mineral spirits. cheap

i use a razor blade to get rid of as much of the sealant as i can, then i use dish soap and a rag, followed by brake clean and an air hose

I detect a key word here… :io:

I’d probably throw some dish soap in there and fill it with hot water to sit for a few minutes to.
