Title: So how often do you guys "shampoo" your engines!!
Post by: elagache on July 13, 2016, 09:37:20 PM
Dear mid-60s Buick "can't ever love your cars enough" types,

(http://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/Forum_support_documents/Custom_emoticons/wink.gif) . . . It's all Walt's fault! . . . .  :laughing7:

I went back to my earlier posting to see if I could confirm Walt's information about bumper jacks in my CD copy of the 1940-72 Buick parts catalog.  I have tried to add search to that CD but it isn't perfect.  However Walt mentioned it was in section 8 of the catalog.  So I started scrolling down section 8.  Not too far before bumper jacks I stumbled into this:

Back in the day GM was selling to its dealers something it called GM engine shampoo!  They must have been expecting their dealers to use a lot of the stuff since they could buy it in a 55 gallon drum!!  Does anybody know anything about this stuff?

Curious minds want to know!!

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:
