Car Aircons and oil based car fresheners

[mazingerZ]

Mga People,

Is it an urban myth that using oil based car fresheners (like myshaldan and the like) will eventually damage your aircon?I have several friends who have advised me not to buy these types of car fresheners coz the oil particles will eventually ind itself inside the aircon's internals thus damaging it in the long run.

Hope someone could confirm or debunk this myth.

Myshaldan Strawberry scented fresheners remind me of someone in the past kasi. :naughty2:

^^^ Yup, no question about the scent of these shaldans ambango talaga! but the problem is it’s material, wax is so sticky that when it zips into the evaporator, tiny dusts that could easily pass through this will definitely drawn in and trapped for good.

if these are really true, how come manufacturers are keeping mum on this?
*maz: ano na naman yang naaalala mo ha?

ano po ba yung oil based car fresheners? yun pong matigas yung sa loob? tapos nauubos pag naluluma na?

[mazingerZ]

Yep. Myshaldan is a prime example of this. SM Bonus also

it's proven. numerous shaldan / wax based freshners user in the past can attest to this... wax particles can clogged /accumulated the a/c evaporator that can diminish the a/c's cooling power.

newbie lang po ako dito. kung ok lang po, gusto ko lang mag-share ng idea about the topic...

my analysis lang po... since oil-based (wet-type) yung freshener, mas madaling dumikit yung alikabok. pag dumikit yung alikabok & oil combi sa evaporator, di madaling maaalis & eventually masisira yung evaporator
