Is it safe to add engine anti-wear agents to engine oil?
1 Answers
Adding engine anti-wear agents to engine oil is a safe practice. The function of engine anti-wear agents is to increase the viscosity of the engine oil, improve the quality of the oil film, and provide better lubrication for the engine. Engine anti-wear agents are high-tech oil (lubricant) additives, processed through various technical means, which can reduce engine wear and enhance engine power, hence they are also known as engine hardeners or powerful repair agents. The following are the functions of engine anti-wear agents: 1. Protective effect: High-quality anti-wear agents have stronger adhesion, higher heat resistance, and corrosion resistance compared to ordinary engine oil. They can adhere to the inner walls of the cylinders to form a protective film, enhancing lubrication and repairing scratches on the cylinder walls to make them smooth. The smooth surface of the engine ensures normal high-speed operation and plays a role in maintenance and repair. 2. Cleaning function: They can dissolve excess fuel, impurities, and carbon deposits in the cylinders, allowing the high-temperature and high-pressure oil-gas in the cylinders to fully burn without other impurities.
