    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
      @diy_automotive 9 місяців тому +4

      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.

    • @masongama3096
      @masongama3096 6 місяців тому

      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.

      Actually the steel ball is moving around and will wear enough to change the spec after so many miles. 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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

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.

    I strongly agree about the temperature gauge, they should at very least be required to have a 3 light indicator (green, yellow, red) to be allowed to sell it in the US

    Scotty great as always, my transmition in my 2006 hyundai sonata started slipping when hot and at 177000 i decided to replace it with a low mileage one since the 4 cylinders running great and the cars in great shape. Most likrly it could be the convertor so a trans swap. Found a great buick 3.8 one owner with 120000 miles and like new.

    Hey Scotty, I really enjoy your videos. They are addictive 😊. Question for you, I have a 2022 Acura MDX (latest model) that is coming off lease after three years. It’s been a great car with zero problems. Of course it has a Honda 6cyl engine and 35K miles. I’m thinking I will buy it at lease end and plan to drive it for the next 7 years. In your opinion Is that smart or a mistake??
    Keep up the good work.

    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.

    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.

    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. And the transmission jerks into gear more often after my 3.0 is hot because the idle air valve is dirty like it is. It effects the transmission kick down that is located on throttle body.

    I got a ute when I was 18/19 that had just over 100,000km on it. Diesel turbo 4 cylinder.
    I changed the oil every 5000km, has 250,000km still drives the same.
    Unfortunately, the car was from a car renting agency, and they didn't care much for the service history of the car. Often missing services from 15,000 to 25,000 without any evidence of an oil change. It's really such a shame.. fortunately, only had to recently replace the head and sump gaskets.
    FYI, it's a 4jh1 isuzu engine.

    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.

    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.

Chrysler, Hyundai, kia...bmw, Benz, new Chevys... junk....even today.. Honda, Mazda, old Ford's, older Toyota.....those are the best ones. All of mine have had well over 300k when I sold them to get something else, and still ran good. But, I've worked on cars for 20 years, and I maintain mine ...
