Hi all. Easy one.

What actually is Subaru Upper Engine Cleaner made of? Is it just a degreaser type spray? It's used in every service.

And what are the other brand name alternatives or equivalents to it?

Cheers.

Just use CRC intake valve cleaner. But I see you have a 2017. It's not direct injection so there's really not much need for it.

I understand that Seafoam is similar, but I don't know whether it is available in Oz. Why not use the OEM?

Subaru AU mandates its use during the warranty period, supposedly because of the crap petrol/gasoline sold here.

Basically availability and also price. I'd like to know who sells the OEM apart from dealers and mechanics?

Hmm. Looks like Nulon make one. $15.99 from Supercheap Auto.

I'd stick with Subaru's UEC.
