How Long Does It Take for Engine Salt to Take Effect?

[ArabellaFitz]

After salt is added to the transmission lubricating oil, the salt will coagulate inside the transmission, forming "paste sheets" that continuously wear down the components. When the wear reaches a certain level, the friction plates in the transmission will need replacement, and the entire transmission may also be damaged. Under normal circumstances, this wear process takes 1 year or even several years, but adding salt can shorten this process to a few months or even weeks. Here is additional information: Consequences of adding salt: Salt is highly corrosive to bearings and piston rings. The effects may not be noticeable in the short term, but prolonged exposure can lead to engine failure. There are also many cases where sugar or alcohol is added to the engine. When heated, sugar turns into a sticky paste but provides no lubrication, and the damage may go unnoticed by others. The consequences include rapid loss of engine power, insufficient performance, and even complete engine failure.
