What Problems Can Occur When Adding Sugar to an Engine?
1 Answers
Sugar is insoluble in oil. If sugar is added to an engine, it will not dissolve under normal conditions. As the engine operates and generates continuous high temperatures, the sugar gradually melts and turns into a sticky substance, causing the engine oil to become extremely viscous. This prevents normal circulation and effective engine cooling. As the oil pipes and oil pump become clogged, the engine may gradually exhibit symptoms such as loss of power, increased noise, sudden stalling, and failure to start. If adding sugar to the engine results in symptoms like loss of power, increased noise, or failure to start, a major engine overhaul will be required. However, a major engine overhaul is a highly complex process. Components such as clogged oil pipes and the oil pump need to be completely replaced, and the oil pipes must be thoroughly inspected and cleaned. Moreover, the damage caused by adding sugar to the engine is considered intentional sabotage. Therefore, neither insurance nor the warranty from the 4S shop will cover the repairs, meaning the vehicle owner will be responsible for all repair costs. Even after repairs, the car's safety and performance may not be fully guaranteed.
