Is Engine Carbon Cleaning Necessary?

[ChristopherLynn]

Engine carbon cleaning is necessary. The engine needs to be cleaned approximately every 30,000 kilometers. The main areas where carbon deposits accumulate are: the combustion chamber, intake valves and their surroundings, the three-way catalytic converter, and the lubrication system. The causes of carbon buildup include: 1. Long-term poor driving habits of the owner; 2. Mismatch between fuel octane rating and compression ratio; 3. Aging or damage to the engine carburetor; 4. Prolonged high-load driving; 5. Failure to replace the air filter; 6. Inaccurate ignition timing or fuel supply timing; 7. Low engine temperature; 8. Poor sealing of valves and valve seats; 9. Prolonged engine idling. Methods to prevent carbon buildup in cars include: 1. Regularly cleaning parts prone to carbon deposits; 2. Avoiding prolonged idling; 3. Using appropriate fuel additives; 4. Using the gasoline specified for the vehicle.
