Does the carbon cleaning agent added during oil change have practical effect?

Carbon deposition is a kind of combustion substance produced by unsaturated olefins and gums in fuel at high temperature during engine operation. It can accumulate in various parts of the engine, such as the intake and exhaust system; Fuel chamber; Fuel injectors, etc. It has the characteristics of oil absorption, which will make the incompletely burned gasoline accumulate carbon again, layer by layer, and form a vicious circle.

Commonly used methods are: disassembly and washing, bottle washing and fuel additives.

1, disassembly and cleaning

This method is very direct and rude, but it is usually sent to 4s stores. Disassembly of the engine is complicated. No matter what parts are disassembled every time, their performance will be more or less affected. Need to hire a professional master to disassemble. Dismantling and washing can directly see the carbon deposit in the engine, and the cleaning will be cleaner. But the cost will be higher and technology will be needed.

2, infusion bag or infusion bottle cleaning

This method is also quite common. When the cleaning agent is discharged into the air inlet, the carbon deposit is diluted and softened into slurry, and then burned and discharged from the cylinder. General cleaning objects include air intake, throttle valve, intake valve, oil nozzle, cylinder interior and so on. , but the effect is not as obvious as unpacking and washing.

3. Fuel additives

One reason for carbon deposition is that the fuel is not completely burned and adheres to various parts of the engine, and carbon deposition is formed over time. The main function of additives is to drill into the pores of carbon deposits with strong surface activity, destroy its structure, gradually dissolve these carbon deposits from the metal surface, then burn them with fuel at high temperature, and then discharge them through waste gas. Effective fuel additives, such as PNF stock solution, are non-corrosive, can clean the whole oil circuit, impurities in the oil tank, moisture in the oil tank, high-pressure oil pump, built-in gasoline filter element, nozzle, piston top, intake valve and exhaust valve, and will not block the three components, so the safety is relatively high.
