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.

[@daveshangar6820]

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.

[@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.

[@jklpop4664]

Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

[@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.

[@gumbojac331]

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

NONE of the intake valve sprays or foams work. If you have a Direct Injected engine, your valves will get clogged over time, period. But, with a few exceptions, it won't get clogged enough to cause major issues for 150~200K miles or a measurable drop in performance for about half that. When it happens the intake needs to come off for hard core scrubbing or walnut blasting costing thousands of dollars. Or, you can get a newer car before it gets that bad. That is what a few extra ponies and a fraction of a MPG from Direct Injection will cost you -- that a a bunch of injector clatter.

3 things to make your engine last forever-1.Not a Chrysler. 2. Not a Euro. 3. It's a non turbo Toyota.-Scotty Kilmer 2024 I'll agree with 1/3 of that. Seriously, do your research for your vehicle and unless it's a Euro trash or a Chrysler 2.7, there are specific "maintenance" procedures to make the vehicle last.

[@richsweeney1115]

These people....the only thing the think lasts is a Toyota...because half of them don't know anything about cars, and don't maintain them right, and they break down. Chrysler, Hyundai, kia...bmw, Benz, new Chevys... junk....even today.. Honda, Mazda, old Ford's, older Toyota.....those are the best ones.

My 98' Sienna runs so well with 170k miles, I would have to hunt for a pcv value. My idle air valve needs cleaning. She cold high idles for too long.

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.
