What is the function of engine internal cleaner?
2 Answers
The function of engine internal cleaner is to solve the problem of deposits. Extended relevant information is as follows: 1. Engine internal cleaner is composed of multiple components with strong cleaning capabilities, serving as an additive that can automatically clean the internal lubrication system. 2. When the engine internal cleaner is added to the engine crankcase, it circulates with the engine oil during operation to complete the cleaning process. It dissolves gum, loosens bonded deposits, causing them to detach. Deposits such as piston ring and piston skirt varnish, carbon deposits, and sludge are thoroughly removed. The cleaned deposits are either filtered out by the oil filter during circulation or settle in the oil pan, to be removed together when replacing or cleaning the oil filter and oil pan. 3. Engine internal cleaner mainly consists of surfactants, alkali, chelating agents, detergents, metal corrosion inhibitors, water, etc. Products in the market are primarily divided into three categories: sludge remover, carbon deposit remover, and sludge-carbon deposit remover.
I usually maintain my car myself and have a deep understanding of engine cleaners. This product mainly addresses three common issues in older vehicles: First, it cleans the sludge on piston rings and cylinder walls, improving sealing and significantly reducing oil consumption. Second, it breaks down carbon deposits on the back of the throttle body, reducing idle vibrations. Third, it removes gum deposits inside the crankcase, extending the life of the engine oil. However, caution is needed for vehicles with over 200,000 kilometers, as excessive sludge might clog the oil passages. After cleaning, it's essential to replace the engine oil and oil filter immediately to prevent contaminants from recirculating and causing further engine damage.
