At what mileage should fuel additives start to be used?
1 Answers
Fuel additives should start to be used at 20,000 kilometers. Mileage for using fuel additives: Fuel additives are unnecessary for new vehicles with less than 20,000 kilometers. For vehicles exceeding 20,000 kilometers, they should be added as needed, typically one small bottle per tank of fuel. Long-term use of fuel additives can be harmful to the engine. Excessive use can increase carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, and prolonged overuse may even lead to engine knocking, detonation, and worsened vehicle emissions. Precautions for using fuel additives: New vehicles are not recommended to add fuel additives because they haven't been driven much, and their operating conditions are usually good, with no serious carbon deposits, so additives are unnecessary. Frequent use of fuel additives is not advisable, as it can lead to oil sludge and gum formation, increasing carbon deposits in the combustion chamber. They should be added based on the vehicle's usage. For severe carbon deposits, manual cleaning is still required; fuel additives are not a miracle solution. For vehicles with severe carbon deposits, manual treatment is necessary, as fuel additives cannot completely remove them. For older vehicles, the oil filter should be cleaned or replaced before adding fuel additives. Use fuel additives cautiously and add them reasonably according to the vehicle's condition.
