    Don't use any.. also don't get too close with the pressure washer. Soon as you blow it out take a air compressor and spray air to dry it :)

    Have it cleaned by a professional shop, not that much and you'll get another 300 k out if it.

    The cleaning machines use compressed air blowing backwards...

    Be careful you can damage things that get expensive fast.
