In today's world, many car owners like to use various additives in their vehicles, believing that these products can help reduce engine wear and clean carbon deposits. However, using them improperly can sometimes do more harm than good. It's important not to overuse oil, gasoline, or coolant additives—because misuse can lead to serious issues.
Let’s start with oil additives. The engine is constantly working under high temperatures and harsh conditions, which leads to the buildup of old oil residues and carbon deposits over time. When you add an oil additive, it might cause these deposits to loosen and clog critical parts like the oil passages, filters, and gaskets. In severe cases, this could even result in engine failure. So, always use oil additives with caution and only when necessary.
The same applies to gasoline additives. While they may help clean combustion chambers, intake valves, and manifolds, they can also dislodge carbon deposits that might then cause problems like knocking, oil burning, or even damage to the cylinders.
When it comes to coolant additives, it's important to note that if you're using a water tank additive, it's best to first perform a few thorough cleanings before adding it. This prevents unnecessary buildup. However, if you skip the cleaning and directly add the additive, it could clog the radiator and thermostat, leading to poor cooling and potential engine overheating or cylinder pulling. Also, never use tap water, river water, or seawater in your cooling system. These contain minerals that can form scale inside the radiator, damaging the protective layer and reducing efficiency. If you must use water, make sure it's distilled or from a clean, pure source, and replace it regularly.
It’s important to understand that not all additives are bad—but timing and usage matter a lot. For example, using additives on a new car or right after a full engine overhaul is usually unnecessary and could end up causing more harm than benefit. That said, when used properly and at the right time, some additives can be beneficial. My advice is to be cautious, follow manufacturer guidelines, and avoid using them just for convenience. Your car will thank you in the long run.
