What are the methods to reduce carbon deposits in cars?
2 Answers
Methods to reduce carbon deposits in cars are: 1. Perform regular car maintenance and change the engine oil; 2. Clean the car's air filter; 3. Replace the car's spark plugs regularly; 4. Clean the car's throttle body; 5. Avoid sudden acceleration and minimize hard braking; 6. Replace the car's fuel filter regularly. Reasons for carbon deposits in cars include: 1. Short driving durations and low driving speeds; 2. Use of low-grade gasoline; 3. Poor sealing of the engine valve oil seals and piston rings; 4. Carbon deposits from oil vapor in the crankcase forced ventilation system; 5. Spark plug power cut when the car is turned off.
I usually pay great attention to car maintenance, and reducing carbon deposits starts with basic habits. Avoid frequent short trips, as the engine doesn't warm up thoroughly, making it prone to carbon buildup. I make time to drive on the highway once a week, pushing the throttle to around 120 km/h to let the engine run at high RPM and burn off carbon deposits. Using high-quality gasoline is key—opt for higher-octane fuel for better combustion. Don't skimp on cheap, low-quality fuel, as it worsens carbon buildup and increases fuel consumption. Change the engine oil and air filter on schedule—strong oil cleaning power removes impurities, and a dirty air filter affects intake efficiency. Occasionally adding fuel system cleaner also helps, showing results after a few kilometers. This method keeps the car running smoothly, without shaking and with faster acceleration.
