Default Re: Windshield wiper fluid pump enough for cleaning only?

The car burns oil after sitting at a light, and I would like to try to get the crap it?s burning off of the pistons, because the car loses power after a while. Would WWF be okay for monthly spritzes when running at high RPM high throttle? Engine is a 660cc 3 cylinder. May upgrade to a turbo version a little later, but I will run a real kit then.
Yes, steam cleaning is very effective. A method used in the old days by many. They punched a small hole in a tin of water and let it drip into the carburattor during idle. A litre of two later, the engine is steam cleaned.
