When it comes to petroleum additives, friends who drive may have heard of or used them. When refueling at gas stations, staff often recommend this product. Some friends may not know what effect this product has on improving cars, so let's take a look here:
Most petroleum additives are prepared from four main raw materials, and their effects can be divided into four types: cleaning type, health preserving type, octane number regulating type, and comprehensive type.
Petroleum detergents can indeed clean a small amount of carbon deposits, but the effect is not as exaggerated as its description, nor does it increase the power and fuel saving effect. Among many petroleum additives produced by legitimate manufacturers, their main function is to "restore engine performance". Many fuel agents cannot be used for a long time, otherwise they can easily generate dirt and form carbon deposits again.
So must petroleum fuel additives be used on all cars?
The answer is of course negative. If your car has traveled less than 10000 kilometers and all the conditions are good, using petroleum fuel additives is completely wasteful because your car has already traveled 100000 kilometers and the engine has accumulated a lot of carbon. Therefore, fuel additives cannot clean carbon, or more seriously, they can have negative effects.
Under what circumstances do petroleum additives need to be used?
The main function of petroleum additives is to compensate for the quality problems of the fuel itself, clean the carbon accumulation and other substances accumulated in the engine system for a long time, control the occurrence of carbon accumulation, reduce engine abnormalities caused by carbon accumulation, and to some extent improve the octane number of the fuel.
We compare petroleum additives to healthy food for cars. Healthy food only has the effect of preventing and reducing diseases. If carbon accumulation is already severe enough, it can only be decomposed and cleaned.
