@@RipPhillips no, but it will work equally. I just finished a chevy impala 3.6 DI.. the stuff works. I have been getting them in about 150k mi. W/ no records of cleaning. I like this because the engine is running while dispensing. It wont blow off big chunks like doing a soak. If its bad i would do 1 of these before the oil change 2 or 3 times, then move to a full GDI soak if you want. The soak will drop bigger chunks. So I'm doing these stp cans most the time till someone gets caught up. Last time i did a crc GDI soak on a really sludged 150mi hyundia i got worried and stopped at 1/4 bottle and chunks were already pinging at that point. Like marbles in a can. The key to a safe application is getting the engine and catalytic converter mostly as hot as possible. Set everything up so your ready to hook up after a hard drive to get the converter hot. That way chunks will vaporize when they hit it.. When finished drive moderate the first couple min then get into it a few times. For about 15 min of driving then change the oil afterward.

Xylene is good stuff. Also, PEA or polyetheramine is one of the ingredient to look for. It breaks carbon down by dissolving instead of breaking off larger pieces. Larger pieces would be destroyed in combustion and sent out the exhaust valve. The most common issue I’ve seen in the field is melted cats or contaminated upstream oxygen sensor. - MAKE SURE THE ENGINE IS AT OPERATING TEMP BEFORE USE. Also not recommended on vehicles with worn spark plugs (over 80-100k mi) - Can cause pre-ignition and/or detonation. - For non-GDI engines, in preparation for intake cleaner, run a bottle of STP ULTRA 5-in-1 (25-50% PEA) or Redline Si-1 (28-34%) in fuel tank (Follow instructions on bottle!) - Fill fuel tank and perform induction cleaning - change oil

@@Voltrondefenderoftheuniverse I think it did, but I suspect my car might be better off with a professional cleaning with the walnut shells. I changed jobs and only drive around town now, rarely going above 45mph so it seems to clog up quickly. 90% of my driving is to the grocery store (1/2 mile) or to work (2.5 miles), so the car doesn't even warm up most of the time. The instructions say to insert the tube into the hose for the intake manifold at the butterfly valve and reconnect the hose, but my hose end has a metal insert and crushed the end of the tube. Traded it in for a second bottle and left the hose off slightly and it worked. I think I'm going to do this again this weekend, but this time insert the tube just before the turbo incase that's the cause of my hesitation.

Most mechanics I know and most auto manufacturers say NOT to use engine flush/cleaner as it dislodges lots of garbage inside the engine, and that is not a good thing. That stuff does not just magically disappear, you know. Ask your own mechanic, ask at the dealership, and then do what you think is best, but don't take some guy's video advice. I asked my mechanic, and he did not look at all happy.

Save yourself even more money by not even bothering to clean your valves just rev it a bit harder more often.

Good test, however for valves there is no high heat & vacuum wash to properly cleanse surface! Tks

I don't have a GDI engine, but I run a bottle of GUMOUT for GDI engines in the fuel tank after ever oil change. I may put an oil catch can on the engine anyway just to reduce the oil vapors going into the intake manifold. I had a carburetor on a generator get jammed up from the vapors routed into the air intake from the crank case, so I re router the vent through the front of the air cleaner so it passes through the pleated air filter, solved that issue.

What kind of a device do you have on that spray can? Where can I find it?
@MarcoHernandez-du6im3 жыл бұрын
It comes with the can, no need to buy anything else to spray.

Would this be safe to run thru a supercharged engine like a gm lt4? Afraid of the chemicals stripping off the Teflon coating on the supercharger rotors.

Do I need to change the oil after I use intake valve cleaner just wondering pls thank you
@harrycee656 Жыл бұрын
The simulated carbon on valve is not caked on like in the intake but if those pictures are your actual pictures vs STP photos, that is impressive. If you showed the endoscope video that would be better proof.

Is it a good idea to use STP fuel injector and carb treatment on 1972 volkswagen super beetle? I just want to make sure that the fuel lines are fully clean before my dad and I start doing maintenance on it.

Also while doing this on a car that has a inverted manifold like this one you want to every now and then race the engine as to make sure the cleaner isnt puddling in the manifold.

I have been using STP products long before injection or GDI and all ways had good results. But keep testing. What about a presoak like over night or 24 hrs

I saw this stuff on Oreillys website, wasn't sure if it was worth the $40 or not. I just replaced the intake manifold on my 03 F150 5.4, I looked at the intake valves and they didn't seem to have any chunks on them. They had a thin layer of carbon though, I may go ahead and spend the $40 to give this stuff a try.

this is for direct injection engines not port where the injector washes off the valves. I believe your 03 F150 is port injected DI engines weren't in existence in 2003.
