Simple remedy for oil sludge in the engine

#Car
#Motorhome
#Vintage Cars

Many short-distance journeys often lead to oil sludge in the engine. We will explain how it forms and how to get rid of it quickly and easily.

Causes of oil sludge formation

Three indicators are responsible for the formation of oil sludge in the engine: oxidation, nitration and sulfation.

The result

The harmful components do not evaporate and the formation of oil sludge continues. Short-distance driving encourages these chemical reactions because the motor oil does not reach the required operating temperature.

Simple and effective prevention of crystals in the SCR system
If diesel vehicles are equipped with an SCR system – i.e. with a system for selective catalytic reduction that reduces harmful nitrogen oxides using a urea solution (e.g. AdBlue®) – then a contribution to the environment has already been made. But there is a small, often overlooked vulnerability: Crystal formation in the SCR system. This is exactly where our DEF Anti Crystal Additive comes into play.
