Which is more severe: adding sugar or salt to the engine?

[LaMaximus]

Adding either sugar or salt to the engine can have serious consequences. Here are the specific details: Adding sugar: The time it takes for the engine to seize is unpredictable and depends on factors such as the amount of sugar added, the frequency of car usage, temperature, and more. Adding sugar to the engine causes it to develop a "chronic heart disease." As a crystalline substance, sugar does not easily dissolve in engine oil. As the vehicle is driven, the temperature inside the cylinder gradually rises, causing the sugar to melt. This significantly increases the viscosity of the oil, leading to engine seizure, commonly known as "bearing seizure." Adding salt: It accelerates the wear of internal components and may cause corrosion. When salt is added to the oil tank, it acts as a corrosive agent. Due to its corrosive properties, salt can corrode engine components and oil passages along with the oil. It also reduces lubrication performance, increasing internal engine wear.
