Additives

 

— this category usually includes all types of auto additives that do not belong to specialized categories; in other words, these are all compounds that are not flushes or sealants. However, some manufacturers or sellers even include flushes and/or sealants here. So if you did not find a suitable composition in the appropriate category, it makes sense to look for it among “additives in general”.

For flushes and sealants, see the relevant paragraphs. For other additives, the specific specialization may be different. Here are some of the more popular options:

— Fuel-saving. Additives designed to increase the energy value of the fuel and, accordingly, reduce its consumption.
— Restoring. Additives designed to automatically repair damage to individual parts of the engine, mainly on the cylinder walls.
— Dehydrating. Additives that prevent the accumulation of water in the fuel tank.
— Antigels. Additives that prevent solidification of diesel fuel; for more details about them, see "Appointment".

Separately, we note that the practical benefits of using additives (different types) are often questioned. For example, there is an opinion that reducing compounds also lead to the appearance of excessive deposits, and the effectiveness of fuel-saving additives is greatly exaggerated. On the other hand, many drivers also have a positive experience in using auxiliary auto chemicals. Given this situation, we can recommend that before buying a particular composition, be interested in the reviews of real users, and based on this, conclude how useful this particular auto-additive will be.
