This stuff actually works very,very well and will not cause problems with aluminium.Just read the directions on the can.

cover the filter...............then spray away, I always wipe excess though. and also, the black magic tire foaming tire cleaner works well as well.

You can buy simple green at home depot, walmart, lowes, probably target too. I've always used it at full concentration and haven't had any problems for over a year. My car was over 4 yrs old when I bought it though, so your engine bay should be much cleaner than mine. You could probably get away with diluting the liquid.

I always use a toothbrush and scrub away any excess dirt grease or just whatever.
