Don’t fool me with carbon deposits, and expose the tricks of this kind of gasoline additives!

　　　 Carbon deposition! When you see these two words, you must not be an old driver, or even a car owner, if you don’t have a tight heart and a tight chrysanthemum. Because for car owners, these two words are like a nightmare, and they are lingering … …
　　　 Carbon deposition is a problem that cars can’t solve from invention to today. The main reason lies in the quality of gasoline, not the car itself. In Germany, where the automobile industry is the most developed, most car owners will choose to add a bottle of carbon removal additive to their cars regularly. On the contrary, in China, where the quality of gasoline is far inferior to that of Europe and America, not many car owners are willing to pay for the criticism of carbon deposition.

　　　 Expensive, unable to see the seriousness of the harm and lucky psychology are the main reasons why most car owners do not choose additives. Among these car owners who buy carbon removal additives in China, a large number of car owners choose "junk products" recommended by gas stations, thus being completely disappointed with the additives. So today, let’s talk about the problem of gasoline additives that remove carbon deposits.

1. What kinds of gasoline additives are there in the market to remove carbon deposits?
　　　 Today we tell you a simple way to distinguish: one is to add every box of gasoline; The other is that it only needs to be added once every 2000-5000 kilometers.
　　　 Why such a distinction? Frankly speaking, even if the two additives use the same ingredients, the content determines the effect. The additive to be added to each tank of oil is not only cumbersome, but also extremely inefficient and ineffective. In a word, it is the product of letting those derivatives that are over-consumed by the big heads expect the big heads to consume more.

　　　 The other is a product that is used once every 2000-5000 kilometers. For example, well-known brands such as Chevron TCP, Limo and Hado. Friends who know about additives may find a rule. This kind of additives used once for thousands of kilometers are generally big foreign brands. Brands that pay attention to word-of-mouth and products often conquer consumers with star products instead of making money by excessive consumption, so the reliability and efficacy of such products are self-evident.
　　　 The additive market is mixed. Keep this in mind and don’t buy the kind that needs to be added to every tank of oil, then you have already taken the first step to get rid of being fooled.

Second, who should I choose among the reliable additives?
　　　 From the domestic market point of view, Chevron TCP Tejin has the highest sales volume and the best reputation. As a star product of one of the four major additive factories in the world, it is obviously the most reliable. Secondly, Hado, a Ukrainian military industry, sells well in the north because it uses BASF stock solution and contains a certain composition of water remover. Products such as Limo and BASF Happy Run are also good, but the market is flooded with fakes. If you need to buy them, you must find a good way. But the way is right and the price is too high, so it is not the recommended first choice.

　　　 To sum up, at present, the TCP with the highest cost performance and the best effect and reputation is Chevron. Both JD.COM and Tmall have official stores, so it is most cost-effective to stock up when catching up with the shopping festival.

Third, the editor personally tested it for you.
　　　 The above remarks are based on my theoretical basis as a senior post-market editor and the conclusions given by market analysis. However, the editor is not very clear about the effect of TCP, which is the first in market sales and word of mouth. So I think to tell the truth, I ordered four bottles of additives from Chevron Tmall, and found a Japanese car and a German car to test its effect.

　　　 Let’s first introduce our test vehicles: the first one is the imported Volkswagen R, which was purchased in 2013 with a mileage of 48,142 kilometers. It represents the test results of German and direct injection engines. The second one was purchased in 2012 and traveled 61,455 kilometers. It represents the test results of Japanese and EFI engines.

　　　 Before the test, we dismantled the spark plugs of two cars in an auto repair shop, looked at the situation of the two cars with an endoscope, and kept the evidence. Unload the gasoline of two cars from the oil pressure port, so that the gasoline of two cars can only run to the gas station 2 kilometers away. Next, reassemble the spark plug and ignition coil of the vehicle. After driving to the gas station, add TCP and fill up a box of gasoline, so that TCP and gasoline can be fully and evenly mixed. In the next whole day, we began to circle the Fifth Ring Road in order to run the whole tank of oil. After running, we repeated the process of adding TCP and refueling the next day, and then ran a box of gasoline.

　　　 The reason why each car uses two bottles of TCP to test is mainly to see more obvious effects. If the product is useless, then two bottles will not have much effect. If the product is very good, then the effect after two bottles is definitely more obvious than one bottle. In order to have the picture and the truth, we made this experiment at all costs.
　　　

Fourth, the experimental results
　　 After two people and two days, two boxes of oil, two bottles of TCP, and each car was more than 1000 kilometers, we went back to the repair shop to disassemble the spark plug and check the test results with an endoscope. The results show that the original serious carbon deposit on the piston head surface has disappeared, which obviously exceeds the editor’s expectation.

The situation of husband R:
　　　 None of the four pistons is completely cleaned of carbon deposits, but there are some residues, but the difference between the front and the back can be clearly seen. According to this situation, two more bottles of TCP should be able to be completely cleaned. TCP products are effective for direct injection engines.

Camry’s situation:
　　　 The original carbon deposit on the piston completely disappeared and was also washed clean. The cleaning effect of additives on EFI vehicles is obviously better.

Summary:
　　　 According to the analysis of theory and market sales, the editor concluded that TCP should be a product worth buying, but tested it with a skeptical attitude. The results show that TCP has a very obvious effect on engine carbon removal, so it is worth recommending. For an old car or a new car with a "clean" engine, this statement is credible. For a car with serious carbon deposition like Golf R in the test, it is still practical to use 3-4 bottles continuously when using TCP for the first time, and then use it every 5,000 kilometers.
　　　 Finally, I would like to give you a little advice. When refueling, try to go to the large gas stations operated by PetroChina and Sinopec as much as possible. The oil products are relatively reliable, and the grade of gasoline is only related to the octane number (), and it has nothing to do with whether it produces carbon deposit (purity), so there is no need to over-consume.
　　　 Using gasoline additives is actually a matter of spending a little money and saving a lot of money, so for the sake of your car and your wallet, give your car a bottle appropriately.
