If you want to clean your oil pump it's probably too late,you probably are having an oil starvation problem! suggestion-buy a new pump and strainer. these parts are relatively cheep,make sure the strainer is in correctly,including the angle-you want the strainer to suck oil not air. Also i suspect that you might be stretching out your oil changes.If this is so with a engine that normally runs hot the oil is getting baked. When oil gets baked,the oil turns to the equivalent to sand/very gritty. This grit will eventually clog the strainer of the oil pump. This starves the motor of oil- not good for the bearings.

How do you clean inside the engine on my ford windstar 1996?

You should not clean an internal combustion engine unless you are going to tear it down, using solvent to break up sludge will deposit it in the oil pan, clog the oil pump pick up and you will then loose oil pressure leading to engine failure. If you still want to do this you must remove oil pan and oil pump pick up and clean after de-sludge. Don't trust this repair to just anyone. Know your mechanic.


Why is my oil light coming on steady in my 1996 Intrepid after driving for around 5 miles?

If your oil is not severely worn out then you may need to change the filter and if that don't get it then clean the oil pick-up under the oil pump. And of course hope the pump itself is not going out because they are costly.
