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.

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.
PAGE 10
CLEANING THE OIL SYSTEM
Drain the oil lter bowl by opening the pet cock and pressing the vacuum breaker
button (10) located on the top of the oil lter bracket. Once the oil level has
dropped enough to remove the bowl without spilling oil, remove it and drain it.
Install a new 5-micron lter element and replace the bowl. Use the wrench pro-
vided to tighten the lter bowl.
Shop Notes: the oil ow meter oat should be at the top of the meter anytime
the engine is running. If it is not, it could be an indication of a plugged oil pump
pick-up screen, a weak oil pump or a plugged lter on the machine. To determine
which problem is present, slightly increase the idle speed. If the ow meter goes
to the top, then the oil pump is weak (at Least at idle speed). If the ow meter
does not go to the top at increased idle speed, turn off the engine and replace
the 5-micron lter. If the problem persists, then the oil pump pick-up screen is
plugged.
If there is no ow, stop the Engine and repair the problem. If there is some ow,
the cleaning process will probably clean the screen, unless there is a substantial
amount of gasket material or silicone sealer in the oil pan.
Do not rely on the oil pressure gauge by itself to determine the condition of the oil
pump and the pick-up screen. The oil ow meter is a more reliable indicator.
Warning: use only genuine engine clean lters. Other lters will not t and can
result in engine damage. Under no Circumstances can you use a “string wound”
lter in this machine.
Reorder lters by using these numbers:
Gasoline engines – no. 50022 (5” 5-Micron gradient rated)
Diesel engines – no. 50023 (10” 5-Micron gradient rated)
PAGE 11
Solution pump does not function:
1. Low inlet air pressure - machine requires at least 50 psi to operate.
2. If no air pressure - check air line connection.
3. Check air pressure on gauge located inside machine. Psi should read 30 to 35 psi. If
low pressure, adjust the gauge accordingly.
4. If air pressure check is OK, then check air inlet to machines air pump by removing air
line going into pump. Turn on solution pump switch and check for air ow. If ow is
OK, replace pump.
No oil pressure and no oil ow:
1. Kinked return or pressure hose.
2. Check oil level in engine. Engine oil level must be to the low level mark on the dipstick.
3. Check for oil coming from inside machine at the hole in the bottom of the machine
housing.
4. Wrong adapter being used. Check for proper adapter in adapter application guide
Low oil pressure and low oil ow:
1. Partially kinked return and/or pressure hose.
2. Dirty lter - change machines lter before each cleaning.
3. Dirty screen in the machine lter head. Remove vent valve and blow air thru the screen
with the lter and bowl removed from the machine.
4. Weak engine oil pump - increase engine rpm and observe if the ow and pressure
increase. If ow and pressure increase the engines oil pump is weak at idle. If ow
pressure does not increase go to step 5.
5. Partially plugged engine oil pump pickup screen - let screen hot soak in the cleaning
solution for 15 minutes with the engine off. Then retry.
6. Engine oil is very thick and engine is cold. Disconnect machine and run engine until the
engine block is warm to the touch. Re-connect the machine and retry.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The Oil-3000 is designed to give many years of trouble-free operation and there
is virtually no maintenance required.
Periodically check for loose ttings and chafed lines and hoses. Replace any
damaged hoses or components.
Replace the oil lter O-ring, when needed. Avoid using pliers on the lter bowl.
Use the wrench provided.
Do not overtighten the oil lter adapters and leads. They are designed to be
hand tightened only.
The air pressure regulator, located on the side of the cabinet, is to be set at 30 to
35 psi. Periodically check the air pressure gauge, mounted on the air pressure
regulator, to insure the air pressure is 30 – 35 psi. (Adjust the air pressure regu-
lator by pulling out the adjusting knob to adjust the air pressure). Do not exceed
the 30-35 psi which is the factory recommended setting.
