How Often Should an Engine Be Cleaned?

[McCecilia]

An engine generally needs to be cleaned every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, and it does not require frequent cleaning. The reason is that the lubricants used in modern passenger cars come with self-cleaning properties, which ensure that the engine does not accumulate sludge or only minimal amounts within a certain mileage. Cleaning agents can be corrosive and may damage non-metal components inside the engine, leading to engine malfunctions. An engine (Engine) is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, and more.
