Brilio.net - A clean motorcycle exhaust not only improves the appearance of the vehicle, but also affects engine performance. Dirt and rust that sticks can block the flow of exhaust gas, reducing combustion efficiency. If left untreated, this condition can cause the exhaust to break down more quickly and reduce the durability of the vehicle.
Cleaning the exhaust regularly is an important step to maintain its cleanliness. There is no need to use special cleaning fluids, because some simple ingredients that are easy to find at home can also be an effective solution. One of the ingredients that can be used is used oil, as shown in the Adacaranya YouTube video.
This method is an alternative for motorcycle owners who want to maintain the exhaust without having to spend additional costs. With simple materials and easy steps, the exhaust can be clean and free from rust. This trick can be done at home without the need for mechanic assistance.

Used oil is often considered as useless waste, but it has hidden benefits. One of its uses is to clean rust on metal, including motorcycle exhausts. The content in the oil can help dissolve dirt that sticks and coat the metal surface to make it more resistant to corrosion.
Using used oil to clean the exhaust can also give a shiny effect. Once applied correctly, the exhaust that was originally dull and full of rust can look cleaner again. This method has been tried by many netizens and has proven to be quite effective without the need for expensive equipment.
Steps to remove rust from exhaust.

The first step in the cleaning process is to start the engine until the exhaust is hot. The heat produced helps the oil work more effectively in removing rust. After that, use a small or medium sized brush to apply the used oil evenly over the entire surface of the exhaust.
When the oil touches the hot surface of the exhaust, smoke will appear as a sign that the reaction is taking place. Let the oil soak in for five minutes so that it can soften the dirt and rust that is stuck. Make sure the motor is running during this process to maintain the exhaust temperature.

After the oil dries and the exhaust temperature begins to decrease, the cleaning process can be continued. You only need to wash the exhaust using Rinso and water until clean. This simple technique can help remove dirt that has dissolved in the oil and restore the exhaust's shine like new.
This method is widely used because it is not only practical but also cost-effective. No need to spend money to buy special cleaning fluids, just use the materials already at home. With regular maintenance, motorcycle exhausts can stay clean, shiny, and function optimally for longer.
