How Many Kilometers Should a Car Drive Before Cleaning Engine Carbon Deposits?
1 Answers
It is recommended to clean carbon deposits every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers. The methods for removing carbon deposits and the hazards of engine carbon buildup are introduced as follows: Methods for Removing Carbon Deposits: Using an IV drip method: Cut off the fuel supply, connect a carbon cleaning agent to the engine fuel injector, and use the cleaning agent to soften the carbon deposits inside the engine so they can be burned and discharged. This method is only suitable for mild carbon buildup. Disassembling and cleaning the engine intake manifold: Remove the engine intake manifold, scrape off stubborn carbon deposits, clean it, and then reassemble it. Hazards of Engine Carbon Deposits: Engine carbon deposits can reduce engine power and increase fuel consumption. In severe cases, they can cause engine knocking, abnormal acceleration noises, damage to pistons and crankshafts, and even lead to engine oil burning, requiring major repairs.
