Cleaning The Engine - Mazda 2001 Tribute Owner's Manual

Maintenance and care

Cleaning the engine

Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt
buildup keep the engine warmer than normal. When washing:
Take care when using a power washer to clean the engine. The
high pressure fluid could penetrate the sealed parts and cause
damage.
Do not spray with cold water when the engine is hot to avoid
cracking the engine block or other engine components.
Never apply anything to the drive belt (including belt
dressing).
