Is it necessary to clean carbon deposits in a car engine?
1 Answers
Cleaning carbon deposits in a car engine is necessary. Since there is currently no complete method to prevent the formation of carbon deposits, if they are not cleaned regularly, carbon deposits will accumulate endlessly. Once carbon deposits build up, symptoms such as engine shaking and reduced power may occur. In severe cases, it can even lead to engine cylinder scoring, cylinder explosion, or knocking issues. Therefore, regular cleaning of engine carbon deposits is essential. The main causes of carbon deposits include: 1. Prolonged heavy-load operation; 2. Frequently pressing the accelerator heavily at low RPM; 3. Long periods of idling or low-speed operation; 4. Excessive warm-up time after a cold start; 5. Driving at low RPM in high gear.
