Carbon Build-Up: Then & Now
Carbon buildup in the combustion chambers, on valves, and even inside intake manifolds of internal combustion engines has been a source of reduced performance and other drivability issues for [...]

Gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines are efficient, pack a lot of power for the relatively small size and run cleaner than earlier port fuel injected engines. The difference in [...]
It Doesn't Take a Lot of Carbon to Affect Your Engine Carbon build-up on intake valves, intake ports and combustion chambers (also known as “coking”) has become a [...]
Most independent automotive repair shops recommend an aggressive oil change interval for modern engines, especially gasoline direct injection (GDI). If the manufacturer recommends (for example) an 8500 mile oil [...]
In our previous article, we discussed carbon build-up in gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines and why it happens. In this article we will discuss best practices for identifying and [...]
