The effectiveness of fuel additives exists, but it is not as significant as imagined. To some extent, fuel additives can clean the carbon deposits on the fuel injectors, and the atomization effect of the fuel injectors can also be greatly improved. However, the volume of fuel additives is small, and the areas they can clean are also very limited. Here are the benefits of fuel additives: Clearing car carbon deposits: Fuel additives are one of the most effective ways to clean car carbon deposits. They contain molecules that purify gasoline. Although the effect is not immediate, continuous addition will clean some internal parts of the car, remove carbon deposits, and restore the car's power. Improving atomization efficiency: The most direct benefit of improving the engine's atomization efficiency is reducing the car's fuel consumption. High atomization efficiency leads to higher combustion efficiency in the engine, naturally lowering fuel consumption. The effect is more noticeable during long-distance high-speed driving, which is one of the reasons many car owners prefer to add fuel additives regularly.

What is the break-in period for a new car in kilometers?

Generally, the break-in period for a new car ranges from 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. During this period, owners should properly control the vehicle speed, avoiding sudden braking and rapid acceleration. It is also recommended to warm up the engine before starting to ensure proper lubrication and prevent unnecessary malfunctions that could affect normal usage. As for the transmission, since it involves gear interaction, theoretically it is ready for normal operation right after leaving the factory. Moreover, modern lubricant technology has significantly improved compared to the past. However, many car owners still place great emphasis on the break-in period. Therefore, it is essential to operate the transmission correctly during this phase to avoid improper handling that could lead to wear on components such as automatic transmission bearings, planetary gears, and differentials, potentially causing early symptoms like unusual noises or failure to move.
