Tranny fluid? That's like 1 time every 80/100 thousand miles isn't it.

[@larrywalden626]

Scotty, I have a 2016 Kia Soul 2.0L GDI that I bought new. I've had it 8 years now, and 90K miles on it as of yesterday. I do this process about every 15K miles. Yes you're telling your followers correctly, carbon builds up on the valves. However, folks need to be careful doing this process. Reason being is there is no place for the broken up carbon to go but fall down into the the top of the piston. If big chuncks of carbon that get get broken up from the cleaner can get lodged into the piston rings. This can scar/gouge the cylinder walls. So this process should be done on more regular basis. Not just when having major valve problems low horsepower, idling bad. At that point, the intake would and head would need to be pulled and walnut shell blasting done to remove the coke/carbon off the valves.

[@diy_automotive]

You're 100% right. I've seen people recommend engine flushes to people with baked oil/sludge in their engine from years of neglect. Same problem, where will the debris go? Even after a proper engine flush, changing the oil, etc. You can still have things turn loose. As you stated, it's always best to do these things as preventative maintenance to prevent a problem rather than fix one.

[@GumboDaShoota]

At 60k on a GDI how should I go about cleaning the valves if it hasn’t been done before

[@masongama3096]

Makes sense, thanx for sharing. I used the CRC GDI cleaner on our 2011 KIA Sportage 2.0 litre turbo about 100 000KM (250 000KM total) after the engine was replaced on a recall. About 2000KM after that I started having a very small emissions leak problem, change pressure control valve and was good for another 2000KM and same issue (code) came back again. So since we nolonger have emissions testing in Ontario my mechanic played it down to nothing but I was not a fan of driving around in a vehicle with a check engine light on, so I needed up going to the KIA dealership for a check up. When there they discovered that big pieces of carbobuild up had started the issue and also that my mechanic had used an after market solenoid (pressure control valve). They replaced it with an OEM part and I was advised to run a cat cleaner as my O2 sensor was clogged with gunk from possibly the valve cleaner I had used. 15000KM later no issues.

I just changed one on a 2003 Honda that had a spring in it instead of a ball. The spring was broke, and the front seal and oil pan gasket blew out from the pressure. It’s not wise to not change something so inexpensive.

[@IraFuse_422]

If you want key components of your vehicle to function properly, usually with a longer life span, go with Genuine OEM parts or better. There are some aftermarket parts that are a well engineered upgrade from OEM, specifically designed for a particular car (i.e. the company 'Killer B' only makes aftermarket upgrade parts for Subaru vehicles, well known in the tuner community). Just do your homework and don't cheap out on important parts.

One main thing to keep your car running is to always change your oil every 3000-5000 miles. I just helped a gentleman’s 2013 Accord with 333k miles is a good example

[@jorgenunez789]

I am at 311,000 2019 Honda Accord 2.00 manual.

[@Meditations2024]

The interval depends on the oil you use, and your engine. Full synthetic lasts longer and they have extended life variants of that too that claim 15k miles, but I'd limit that to 10k miles. Oils used to be a lot worse and that's why we changed our oil at 3k intervals. AAA has done extensive testing on oils. I've seen it first hand myself. Now, if you burn a lot of oil, that's different because your oil is getting dirty faster. That's the engine part.

[@swistedfilms]

My 1993 Accord had 472K miles on it when it was stolen, and still did 90 on the freeway with the air conditioning blowing cold. They don't make 'em like that anymore! Unfortunately the guy who stole it rolled it and absolutely destroyed it.

[@johnwayne1464]

Absolute nonsense, fully synthetic oil is good for 10k miles and modern engines do not need an oil change every 3k miles like they did way back in yesteryear. This obsession with changing your oil every 3k comes from when engines and oil were not as well made as they are today, it’s a marketing ploy that has played into your mind. Your car owners manual will never say 3k but most likely 10k or once year.

[@josephrepetsky546]

I can assure you all with GDI engines clean them valves once a year. I waited 3 and put a fuel system treatment in my tank while using the intake valve clean. After doing darn near close to everything Scottie said (I followed the STP can) I got a code. The P0420 code (catalytic converter not working properly). Ran an cleaner that specifically clears the code (cleans the catalytic converter) and I was on my way. When you wait to clean them Intake valve once your car detects the catalytic converter running 5 or more % less efficient it triggers the code. In my case I cleaned (blew off a lot) off carbon build up.

[@scottwheaton9689]

Surprised you overlooked this so here’s a suggestion for when you have an intermittent stalling at idle only issue with a 100k+ mile car . Since you already found a dirty air filter is to take 10mins to clean the throttle body & throttle plate with the appropriate throttle body cleaner which can also cause intermittent idle issue. If after doing the above along with your fuel system cleaner doesn’t fix the int stall at idle issue I’d next chk the TPS. Also,maybe a sticky EGR at idle causing to stall too, Happy motoring from Scott in ny.

You had better think twice about using valve cleaner on an engine with a lot of miles that is ready to be rebuilt. Sometimes carbon deposits actually help seal valves and when you start spraying this stuff it cleans all the deposits up and now you have a very noisy engine. I did this around 1983 on a 66 Pontiac Lemans 326 c.i. What a mistake that was! I ended up with a lot of valve noise and decreased performance. Lessons learned.

You should have exhaust system cleaner in the tank before starting to carbon clean to reduce the risk of displaced carbon burning holes in the catalyst.

[@CrisisActorJonsiri]

These new Automatic Trans "Dialysis Machines" that cycle, measure, and filter the fluid at that major service interval are a trip! I got Toyota CVT FE fluid for my 2016 Corolla LE. I know that the volume changes based on temperature. I ate the cost on the Toyota FE fluid because the new machines (I had a shop do it for accuracy) have their own proprietary fluid. I was a little shaky on them using a NON-TOYOTA fluid, but the dealerships in this neck of Nor Cal use this special fluid that works with these new-fangled ATF/CVT transmission fluid service operations.

Can vouch for CRC GDI Intake Valve Cleaner. That stuff does the job. Just not instantly. Few days after use you will notice it. It's 30 diesel fuel and 20% PEA. I swear the diesel does the trick. No oil consumption for a 1,000km after that either. However, I'd use it for maintenance. If you engine has heavy build up, best to get it mechanically cleaned by walnut blasting then use CRC at every oil change to help prevent more build up. CRC won't take it all out and it'll all gather up again pretty quick.

Hi, I have my car Saab 93 2004 turbo charged and the engine do not have PCV valve in it only one hose mounted from the valves cover directly to the turbo and eating engine oil burning in the exhaust what you can help and suggest to stop the oil running out and let the fume out instead engine oil thanks in advance george

The 2015 Outbacks have temp guages on them Scotty.

Well done, no matter how well you maintain your engine not all of them will last a long time. Many engines won't make it to 100K, because those vehicle are junk to start with. Most Toyota and Honda vehicles will last a long time if maintained correctly. Beauty covers serve a purpose, they dampen engine noise, and keep rodents from chewing on wires. I just vacuumed at ton of whirly birds from the trees from under the cover.

How often should this be done on a GDI engine? Is there any risk of hydrolock?

[@samhert4489]

Scott can I spray this directly in the 3inch filter vaccum line on top of motor .

[@oqhr]

Well, my engine is GDI. It has 90k miles, and never been cleaned; duo to the high milage with no maintenance, do you still recommend using this method?

[@mattstover3912]

Do you need to do the GDI intake cleaner through a vacuum hose? Or can you use the line from the air box to manifold after the MAF sensor? 🤔

Do I need to change Toyota 2010 Corolla transmission fluid or is it "for life" I think change ya? 163k miles... not sure it ever was changed, 2nd owner

[@isaiahayon9757]

Drain and fill every couple oil changes will safely freshen it.

[@jorgegallo3261]

Scotty, some time back yourecommended Seafoam to clean vales. Still stand by it?

[@williamtilton4469]

Yes

[@barakatullahmehirdel3623]

@scottykilmer I used a fuel injector and my check engine light has been on since? What to do?

[@davelorenz3285]

Clean oil and a light foot will serve you well.

There is only one thing you need to have for your engine to last 500+ thousand miles, Scotty as your neighbor!

That’s an OK idea on how to clean the intake valves. I do a manual cleaning on my 2018 Ford focus ST and I just helped a friend do his last weekend works much better than trying to spray it in while it’s running. I do use the same spray cleaner. I just take the intake off and do it manually and there spotless only takes about two hours.

[@mrgarrison3516]

The spray is very easy after you've done it once (worst case... your car will stall). Plus using the spray while engine is running circulates the product where u would never reach manually

I am a first time ATS customer and just received my shipment. FedEx incompetence ended up returning my order to the shipper. ATS rectified the problem immediately and graciously and I am looking forward to trying these products. 5 stars for customer service.

True Scotty

We appreciate you Scotty!

I miss the road draft tube. You could always tell when the car ahead of you had bad rings or needed a valve job.
