Any car enthusiast has to deal with problems such as carbon deposits and varnishes, which are often formed in engines and are such unwanted products of internal combustion. Over time, these untreated engines turn into “silent killers”. The only way to restrain the progression of such overlays is the timely flushing of the engine with the help of special solvents, which, among other things, allow the engine oil to show all its strongest points, as well as protect the engine when it reaches peak loads. Flushing the engine is a prerequisite for the engine not to stall at the most inopportune moment.
Constantly stricter restrictions on car emissions are forcing manufacturers to develop more sophisticated and environmentally friendly engines. Of course, this has a number of minuses, the main of which is that the combustion products continue to circulate inside the engine, and are not released into the atmosphere, as before.
Oils, no matter whether they are synthetic or semi-synthetic, face the very difficult task of maintaining and neutralizing all these contaminants until a service oil change is made. Another problem is the urban conditions dictated by modernity. Due to the short distances at which the engine simply does not have time to warm up, constant idling, the abundance of suspended dust, and the oxidation of engine oil, the formation of viscous, thick deposits inside the engine is provoked. Flushing the engine when changing the oil in such situations is very important and can save a lot of nerves and time in the future.
Deposits form throughout the engine, causing clogging of oil flows and the intake for the oil pump. This becomes an obstacle to the circulation of oil through the vital components of the engine. Despite the fact that the best oil filters are able to remove particles of contaminants, they are not enough. The filter is able to remove particles up to 25 microns in size, while the most harmful particles do not exceed 5-20 microns. Despite their small size, the engine cannot tolerate them for too long. To remove these particles, solvent flushing of the engine is suitable.
If we talk about diesel engines, then, in addition to other deposits, sulfur accumulates in them and enters the combustion chamber, due to which acids are formed inside the engine. In the event that they are not removed by solvent, soot and varnish will certainly form during their circulation, which will slowly but surely kill the engine, providing about sixty percent of the total wear. It should be noted that, after a complete oil change, about 10-20% of the old oil continues to circulate in the engine , which potentially impairs the properties of the new one. Regular flushing of the engine will not only ensure operability, but also make it possible to achieve greater efficiency from engine oil.
If we summarize all the facts, we can safely say that to extend the life of your engine, to ensure free circulation of oil, and to achieve full return from it, it is possible only if the power units are washed, and the oil and oil filters are replaced in a timely manner. Particularly noteworthy are those cars whose mileage is more than 75,000 kilometers. Flushing the engine is a mandatory procedure, thanks to which the life of the engine can be extended for a very significant period. It is worth noting that it is better to resort to a long flush, and not save time on the "five-minute".
