Cleaning sensors with oil change?

Posted

Yesterday, a guy asked me about what I knew about some new oil Cummins is going to.  (I know nothing)  then we got talking about oil changes and stuff.  

 

He said he "cleans his sensors every other oil change".    

 

First time I ever heard of cleaning any sensors.  Am I missing something or is this for the big horse power guys, or maybe people like me are stock and don't put on many miles (lots of sitting)?  

 

If good idea, clean what sensors?  Any write ups on cleaning them?

 

Thanks for any responses.

    I cleaned my map and iat sensors once about 6 or 7 years ago and it made no difference then and have not cleaned them since. Pretty much a myth, thats why I cleaned mine the one time.

    Op here...Thanks for replies.  Case closed, I'm not going to bother with sensors.
