I used this as preventative maintenance on my Kia Soul, then I lost a lot of power. It turns out that my catalytic converter was clogged up, probably from the carbon that was dislodged from the valves. So, yeah it cleans the carbon off the valves, but it can result in expensive repairs to your exhaust system. That $15 can of magic cost me $1500 at the Kia dealership.

We are currently on vacation and we have driven over 1200 mi to get here, 75-80 mph while getting 38mpg. I've seen many of these vehicles over 150k miles. I've done a lot of research on the GDI 2014 OPTIMA, best i can tell is try to keep carbon build up at a minimum. And make sure the VIN number does not begin with a 3, these vehicles were assembled in Mexico and have proven to be very problematic.

If you have a GDI engine, never let the vehicle just sit and idle for long periods of time. This is when most of the deposits occur. When in the drive through shut the engine off, waiting for friends you pick up ect. Another thing that helps is being a little heavy on the gas in first and second, and a good spirited highway drive at least once a week. These are the tips I have read about that seem to make the most sense.

"Safely dissolves carbon in a controlled manner that prevents large pieces from dislodging in the engine." is their statement. This is better than large lumps of carbon breaking off and ending up in your catalytic converter. Everyone says...use the can until empty. BUT I think a better strategy for a large mileage GDI engine that would have a ton of carbon build up, would be to approach it gradually. I would be doing a quarter can or less once a weak until two cans used. Just gradually remove the carbon build up. I wouldn't want a flood of carbon through the converters and oxygen sensors all at once. Doing it bit by bit might be safer for those components. That will be my strategy.

So I used this today on my 2015 KIA Forte EX GDI. I made sure not to spray it into the MAF sensor, I couldn’t find it anywhere so I proceeded as normal. Turns out there’s not one on my model. So I sprayed it into where it shows on the video, the air duct where the air filter goes. I had my buddy keep the motor revved up to 2,000-3,000 RPM. Everything went okay, so I went to go get on the freeway for 10 minutes as instructed in the video, which was only a 2 minute drive away, as I got up to 35, the engine rattled real bad and a BUNCH of white smoke came out the back. It rattled once more as I got on the freeway, but not nearly as bad, and not as much white smoke the second time. Later in the day I did notice more power to the gas pedal, and higher MPG as indicated on the dash. Engine appears to be running normal. No check engine lights or anything. Is the engine rattle that happened normal? This is the first time I’ve ever done it after finding this video. Engine has 151k miles on it.

I would like to see a comparison test for different cleaner brands by someone independent, instead of marketing for 1 brand.

Jeff Ruebens Adding anything to fuel or oil won’t alleviate the problem as the fuel never gets to the top of the pistons. Fuel has plenty of detergents added to it already. That’s why port injection systems don’t have this issue. In those, the fuel is sprayed onto the top of the pistons and the detergents clean off the deposits before they’re burnt onto the metal. You’re confusing combustion chamber deposits with the piston head deposits that plague DI engines. No product helps piston head carbon build-up in any significant way. Only periodic walnut blasting cleans it.

Many vehicles these days with only GDI engines. If you want a car without GDI it severely limits your selection. I have a Cadillac with GDI and twin overhead variable camshaft timing. It requires little extra maintenance. I get the valve cleaning service done about every 20K miles. No other special mtce. The oil change interval is determined by the ECU, I usually get it changed 1x/year, when it says I have about 25% oil life remaining. Spark plugs should last 100K miles, I still have the original plugs. Car has about 80K miles & runs fine. No other engine was available. My wife has a 2018 Focus with a 2.0-liter FFV (up to 85% ethanol) I-4 direct injection engine. It wasn't badged or advertised as being GDI. I wouldn't have known without reading the manual. Car makers don't make a big deal about GDI any longer. The Focus has had only oil & filter changes since new. Absolutely no additional mtce due to being GDI. It gets 30+ MPG. No other engine was available.

I have a 2016 and the gdi motors and cvt trannys are trash. You need to run sea foam through the intake system ( because gdi doesn't inject gas through the intake like most cars , so they get higher compression ) and take the intake boot off and spray behind the mass air flow sensor. Put boot back on. Rev to 2k rpms and hold it there while someone sprays the sea foam in . After can is empty, turn off car and let hot soak for 15 min. Then start it up, Rev it, drive about 10 min. If smoke doesn't appear right away don't worry it will ( especially in these trash motors , I've done 2 sea foam sprays already and may need a 3rd ) . If no smoke comes out, pull over and turn the car off for 5 min . Start process over again and if you have triptronic where you can control the gears then really get on it 1- 4th gear . Blow all that crap out of your motor. These engines do burn gas esp while using sea foam. Get an oil change shortly after. Smart thing would to be add the liquid kind to the motor and fuel system and drive 100-200 miles and then definitely get an oil change. God bless 🙌 🙏

You will ALWAYS get carbon build up in Direct Injection (only) engines, period. However, not all build up are equal. -- Thin, dry, sooty, build up -- which are usually mild and will not make a tangible impact on airflow is from valve overlap at lower rpms causing some of the exhaust products to back up into the intake before being sucked back down into the cylinders. If that is all you have, I won't bother to clean it. Dry soot, you see, doesn't really stick! -- Thick, cruddy, oily build up is from OIL in the PCV valve and/or leaky turbo seals. Cleaning it is not really a fix. I guarantee it'll return in 30,000~40,000 miles. Not much you can do about a leaky turbo -- time to replace it or sell the car. But you can install an oil catch can in the PCV system to cut down on 90% of the oil getting to the intakes. You can also use an oil that doesn't evaporate as much and does not cause as much oil vapor to go through the PCV system. In general, use a good synthetic that DOES NOT have a wide viscosity range. In general, the 0W-40 is going to evaporate more than the the 10W30 or 5W20. If you want to be sure look up the evaporation loss numbers for that specific oil.

0:51 "GDI can provide improved MPG" 1:02 "Carbon deposits from GDI will lower MPG" In reality, GDI cars don't get better gas mileage than port fuel injected cars, but require burning gnarly chemicals to clean the engine. That's way worse for the environment than a normal port fuel injected engine. I'm sure this is the government's doing. Whenever the government tries to save the environment, it creates more pollution. Oh, and people aren't going to maintain their cars 5x as much, so now cars go to the junkyard sooner too. GDI is stupid. The cleaner stuff in the video is pretty cool though. I've cleaned carburetors and fuel injectors (out of the car so I know it worked) with GDI cleaner and it seems to be more potent than carburetor cleaner.

In the 1950's and 60's American made cars had a 'dump tube'... allowing the bottom of the crank case to 'vent' to atmosphere. By adding a PCV and "VACUUM" to that system, you are effective creating a 'mist' from the oil in your engine... That misted oil then is introduced to your engine, intake. The bottom end of your crank case only produces about 2 pounds of pressure... Your vacuum system produces up to 10-15 pounds at times... So.. you're 'sucking 6-8 times the volume of what is necessary to simply "VENT" your lower crank case. Plug, by pass your PCV system and just leave a 'vent' tube for your lower crank case to equalize that pressure.

You really don't know physics. Comparing the pressures does not produce direct to volume conversions. Several other parameters need to be factored. And the crankcase has pressure, but the intake manifold is under vacuum from the engine. But that amount of vacuum can vary greatly depending on engine design & throttle position. My Cadillac CTS with a GDI engine produce so little vacuum, that it has an electric auxiliary vacuum pump. This electric pump does not pull vacuum in the intake manifold or engine. It is to increase vacuum for the power brake booster and devices that use vacuum such as HVAC. There are check valves so the electric pump does not affect the engine performance. Moreover, cars in the 50s & 60s had carburetors - you really want to go back to those?

Large carbon break offs will damage the catalytic converter, therefore, it's a good idea to remove a good catalytic converter and install a bad one, run it for a while, then reinstall a good catalytic converter.

Fuel injector cleaner used every 4th tank of fuel will keep any type of injectors clean Inc GDI. With higher compressions and low tension rings in a GDI engine, blow by can be a problem with carbon sticking the rings. Oil changes at half the normal intervals can help prevent this and along with an oil flush additive will keep internals clean. After the old oil is drained, refill with 2 litres of oil & 1 litre of diesel. Run the engine at idle for 10 mins and drain. Doing this at ev ery oil change will keep the internals spotless and rid the engine and sump pan of any sludge build up. Refill with a premium quality oil and filter.

If carbon build up in GDI engines couldn't be prevented, then all GDI engines must've got a certain amount of carbon build up after a certain milage, but that's not what's happening. There's a video of a guy on YT doing 250k on his Hyundai GDI and not having any engine problems. He changed the oil on recommended intervals and added a bottle of fuel additive to a full tank of gas after each oil change , that's all. GDI engines have been around since mid 90's and if they were vastly problematic, they'd have been discontinued by now

Crc intake cleaner works yes no doubt! But remember friends it doesnt work like bringing the old carbon gunky valve into brand new valve to its genuine life when you once bought a brand new car with 0 miles on it. The only best possible solution to bring old valves into genuine shiny valves life is to use a ground wallnut shells soft abrasive blasting. Trust me on this one. All the world chemicals they might invent but nothing can be purely cleaned with chemicals as compare to manual wallnut shells blasting.
