This is my second time I used the CRC Intake Valve And Turbo Cleaner in my 2013 Chevy Equinox. After using the first time I noticed a significant difference in the performance. After about 5000 more miles I used it again today and came back from driving the car on the highway for about 15 miles. I noticed the difference in performance but not like the first time. So I think the first time I must have had more carbon deposits. Since this is repeater I am not noticing a huge difference. This stuff works!! Thank you CRC!

8/19/2022 WOW! I just did this for the first time on my 2014 Honda Accord after getting a check engine light at 175,000 miles. The engine light diagnostic showed Error Code P0087: Fuel Rail/System Pressure Too Low. I thought it might be the fuel pump which would’ve been around $1500 to fix. So before doing that, i changed the air filter and used the CRC GDI Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner and i must say I’m extremely happy! Not only did the engine light go off and i saved myself a lot of money, but after about the second day as this cleaner continued to work it’s magic, my Honda is running like she’s in her early 20s again! I highly recommend treating your car with this!

Interestingly, the instructions on the New Zealand version of the CRC Intake Valve Cleaner say to spray "continuously for 30 second intervals", rather than in short bursts. I was following the instructions on the can, and my car reported a P0132 (upstream oxygen sensor voltage high) during application. Also, the engine started pinging while driving following the heat soak, so I'd recommend going easy on the accelerator for the first 15 minutes.

Don’t listen to the idiots saying this is bad for your engine from causing damage to your cylinders. The formula dissolves the carbon in a safe manner that doesn’t cause scarring to metal surfaces. Also, CRC is a highly reputable company that performs with quality. They don’t create solutions that make matters worse. Moreover, after using about 5 applications of this specific product on my GDI engine, I can say that acceleration and idle have a noticeable improvement. I would recommend using it at every oil change to really help eliminate all carbon deposits on your intake valves. For only $10-$15 more per oil change, you can keep peace of mind your engine won’t struggle and die a premature death from unnecessary stress.

I just used it on my Hyundai GDI, with 30K miles on it. And it worked great, luckily my car doesnt even have a MAF sensor, so I just sprayed it into the intake and I figure the engine is super small I only used half a bottle. waited an hour for the heat soak and drove it on the freeway, it had a little hesitation, then I saw that it expelled a huge puff of smoke, and after that the car ran like new. The Idle is back to what it was before and just seems a little more responsive when I step on the gas. I don't think there was too much build up since it was only 30K miles but I wanted to do it as a preventative measure. I'm hoping it will continue to clean like it says in the video and I will probably use the rest of the can after 1000 miles.

If used as regular maintenance, ie, 10k intervals, it's safe on turbo GDIs, but as a fix for heavily gunked valves, is there a risk that a chunk of carbon deposit will dislodge and mess up the hot side of the turbo - just like person getting a stroke from a dislodged blood clot? Also, some cars in addition to a MAF sensor by the air cleaner, also have a boost pressure sensor near the intercooler and a MAP/IAT sensor on the intake manifold. Is the product safe on those sensors? It's probably safe on pressure based sensors, but the IAT portion of the MAP might be affected negatively.

A few things to note. While a carbon piece might make its way into the turbo, the turbine blades will likely be fine with such a light piece of debris hitting them at such a low engine load (reving up at idle). The boost/MAP sensors will be fine since even if a film is deposited, that won't affect a pressure reading. It also hasn't ever affected my IAT readings before and after.

I keep hearing horror stories of engines rattling... would love to see you guys actually put out a real before and after video. As I love the concept but am a little hesitant to use product as directed. I am 100% sure it will work if I take off the intake manifold and spray it in directly and scrub the valves myself.... but you guys claim it will work by just spraying into air intake.... please do a more thorough video. Also, need some clarification as to whether or not to change oil after use of this product. I have Mazda CX 5 w/ 36K miles.... not sure if I should use it before or after oil change, also want to make sure that any deposits that come off won't scratch up the sides of the combustion chamber. I'm sure there are plenty of folks out there, like myself, who would love to see this product suceed and be all that it claims to be, we just need a little more proof with real life experiences and videos. Would be a good investement on the part of CRC to spend a little more time making such videos or sponsor some mechancis to make more through videos w/ before and after effects.

So, I did this with my GDI engine over the weekend. Car is a genesis 5.0 which has a GDI 429 HP V8 engine with 70k miles. The problem I had was that for the life of me I couldn't get my car to idle at 2k RPM's, it's like the computer wouldn't let it. I could get the car to idle at 2k for a second but than the car just dropped to the 500 idle rpm.(no treatment yet)so I feathered it around 2k while someone else sprayed it. Engine seems smoother and acceleration is a bit better. I also did an oil change and put a k&n air filter. I was getting 6 second 0-60 times when I should be in the low 5's range. Now I'm getting in the 5.5 range still not where it should be. Dash command app says my HP went from 375 to 401(granted dash command is calculated and not actual HP, it still gives a rough idea of the engine status) I am going to buy a camera to look at my valves and wanted to do this treatment again. (new plugs as well)Do you think it is safe to do this again in a few hundred miles or should I wait till my next oil change?

The product does indeed work, but there is a problem. My oil analysis shows the hard particulates in the oil skyrocketed after performing this service. Not all of the carbon is consumed or exited the exhaust. How of this stuff remains in the catalytic converter. Fine soot and carbon mixes with the fuel and oil on the cylinder walls and is forced past the rings contaminating the oil. It took two oil changes within 100 miles to get the levels back to normal. A typical oil change leaves behind 10-20% of the contaminated oil. The typical 25 micron filter is not going to remove 2-15 micron size carbon particulates. If you perform this service change you oil afterwards and a second time.

This is great to soak and loosen if engine is not running and performing a manual deposit, but it is NOT safe if used engine running. Want proof? Can show you pistons from dozens of engines immediately following an engine running cleaning. Not only have we yet to see more than 20% removed, we see scoring to the piston skirts and cylinder walls in every case as these hard baked crystallized particles are forced between the piston and cylinder wall. We have used these in port injection engines safely for decades, but we do R&D work on GDI engines and have since 2008 when we were first contracted to discover why pistons were breaking on GDI engines leading to understanding LSPI and the destructive effects from it. I challenge you to see just how these cleaners when used as engine running do NOT cause the damage we see. And also the damage to the hot side turbine blades as the larger hard chunks make impact with them during these procedures. Great to use during a manual cleaning, but scouring in every case when used engine running method. And this is ANY solvent based upper induction cleaner.

You can see our test results showing no scoring, damage or overheating conditions at crcgdi.com. Some customers may prefer to tear down their vehicles and use our product, but due to the design of the product it is not necessary.

You want to use a detergent cleaner that dissolves the carbon instead of the others like Seafoam that just knock chunks off the valves and combustion chamber.

Tracy Lewis Performance you are talking about products like seafoam. If you had ever used this and looked at the components after the hour and first drive. You would see that the once hard carbon is now a gooy looking substance. PEA when combined with heat is a totally different result that just soaking a valve in it cold. You are much more likely to have a problem with manual clean. A steel bristle, or small piece of carbon that you didn't get blown out of the port getting sucked in to the cylinder. Plus manual valve cleaning does nothing for the carbon issues in the combustion chamber. I have used this cry many times and I see the original crosshatching on the cylinder walls with my borescope. Quit fear mongering.

@Tracy Lewis Performance I did oil analysis before and after the CRC service and I found the hard particulates in the oil skyrocketed. It took two oil changes in the first 100 miles to get back to normal. The 25 micron oil filters is not going to catch the fine carbon in the 2-15micron range, which is the cause of most wear in the engine. How does it get into the oil. The misfires and incomplete combustion caused by the cleaner, causes the carbon to mix with unburnt fuel and oil and is forced past the rings, and through the oil drain holes in the ring landings. This explains your findings of damaged cylinders and pistons.

The description of the product implies to me that the carbon deposit is dissolved (i.e. liquefied) so that it can be burned off safely without sending damaging solids into the combustion chamber or catalytic converters. Meanwhile, at minute 9:30 of this video it states "Additional carbon that's been loosened is safely removed by the heat and pressure of engine operation", which really sounds like the carbon deposit will be made to break free ("loosened") from the intake valves. Maybe getting into semantics here, but I would buy into the idea that the loosened carbon deposit is "...safely removed [FROM THE INTAKE VALVES] by the heat and pressure...", but why am I not convinced that the carbon deposit that is loosened from the valves is safe for the combustion chambers or catalytic converters? Seems to me that this product should only really be used starting on a brand new vehicle as a preventative measure against carbon buildup. Convince me otherwise.

Thank you for your comment. To clarify the CRC GDI Cleaner emulsifies the carbon so that chunks will not break away and cause damage.

sooo you say ''spray into the ports'', but then only show an example where you REMOVED THE ENGINE HEADS and TURNED THEM UPSIDE DOWN and soaked them for 60 minutes,,, with high engine temps under IDLE ''spraying into'' the intake will not remove anything unless you spray it for DAYS due to rapid evaporation of the chemicals used. The only way this will work is if the SOLVENT hits the carbon in WET form and SOAKS IN for a period of time to react and being dissolving the VARNISH holding the carbon in place.. . This will not occur under running operation of a engine and spraying a can of this or seafoam in.. the flow of warm intake air or even cold intake air will evap the solution before any breakdown will occur.

Dear CRC, your retail consumer version spray nozzle (Canada only??) stinks. You recommend cleaning at operating temp but when the fans kick on in some models, it shoots overspray everywhere. Please bring back the wand tip. It also appears IMO to contribute to pooling in some manifolds because you can no longer keep it atomized in the air stream since you have no choice but to spray directly on the throttle plate and watch it run down and seep under the tp. Also trying to inject it into a convenient vacuum port is no longer possible and often messy and wasteful on some applications. My 2 cents.
