How Long Will It Take for Problems to Occur After Adding Sugar to the Engine?

[VanJasmine]

Adding sugar to the engine will cause problems after driving for a period of time. Depending on the vehicle's usage, issues can generally be noticed within about a week. The problems that arise after adding sugar are as follows: 1. Increases the likelihood of engine detonation; 2. Carbon deposits form high-temperature sources, which can easily cause surface ignition, resulting in a 2%–15% loss of engine power; 3. Carbon deposits accumulate between the spark plug electrodes, causing the spark plug to short-circuit, leading to reduced power and increased fuel consumption. To resolve these issues, it is necessary to promptly change the engine oil. The specific methods are as follows: 1. Start the car engine, let it run until the water temperature reaches the normal range, then turn it off. This allows the oil to circulate fully within the engine, carrying away impurities; 2. Use a car lift or jack to raise the vehicle, loosen the oil pan bolt with the onboard tools, and use a specialized wrench to open the oil filter for secondary release; 3. After all the oil has drained, use a wrench to install a new oil filter and pour the appropriate amount of oil that meets specifications into the oil pan.
