How to Reduce Engine Carbon Deposits?
2 Answers
It is necessary to regularly clean various components inside the car's engine, replace the engine oil and oil filter periodically, and change parts prone to carbon deposits, such as spark plugs. Below is more information about the engine: 1. The engine used in cars is a machine that converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. The piston is the central system of the engine and the busiest component in the engine's working state, continuously performing reciprocating motion. The engine is the most important component of a car; without it, the car cannot be driven. 2. The spark plug generates sparks through the discharge phenomenon between electrodes. The performance of the engine depends on the effectiveness of the spark produced by the spark plug. The spark plug is equivalent to the heart of the engine.
I have a ten-year-old car that's been plagued by carbon buildup issues. Later, I learned a few tricks: avoid prolonged idling, and turning off the engine during traffic jams saves the car; appropriately increase the shift RPM, for manual transmissions, shift at 2500 RPM to ensure complete fuel combustion; take a highway drive every two weeks, maintaining 80 km/h for 40 minutes to flush out carbon deposits. Don’t neglect checking the air filter—a dirty one leads to incomplete combustion. Now, I make it a habit to use a fuel system cleaner every 30,000 kilometers—just the reputable brands from gas stations will do. Regularly checking the spark plugs is also crucial, as excessive electrode gap can cause incomplete combustion. These are all hard-earned lessons from mechanics.
