What local vehicles have gas direct injection (GDI)?

- all SkyActiv-G
- FA20 (except for BRZ/86)
- Hyundai?

Our Hyundai Kona is port injected. Not sure about the others.

All the small turbo engines these days are direct injection.

Especially those with turbochargers. I reckon at 10,000km the intake valves are already covered with carbon deposits.

Here's how to clean those intake valves and all those carbon buildup in a Mazda Skyactiv engine.

From the video you can see that the intake valve is already fully covered with gunk

Installing an oil catch pan does help reduce the possibility of oil going through the intake valves.

If oil catch pan can help reduce the oil going through the intake valve, how come car manufacturers are not using it by default?

I think mazda installed a catch can in the skyactiv engine..

It has an oil separator integral w/ the Positive Crankcase Vent system.
Here's the removal procedure:

They don't want to add another maintenance item that may need attention earlier than the valves themselves. An issue with the catch can will raise a check engine light because it is related to the emissions control system.

There are OCC design that drains the oil back to the system.. diesel engines also suffer from carbon build up but can withstand..

For my mazda skyactiv, i use petron blaze fuel... i noticed that almost zero soot formation at the tail pipe.. not like before when i was using xtra or xcs unleaded.. less soot means lesa carbon build up at the intake valves

Blaze Euro6, less pollutants. Kaya okay din na investment sa daily driver, kahit hindi required ang 100 Octane. Salamat sa reminder, nag i isip isip kung mag downgrade ulit sa Xtra/XCS.

It's not just the fuel. You'll have to wisely choose your synthetic oil & keep the change interval short.

Looks like these downsized gas engines with turbochargers are going to be maintenance nightmares for those who intent to keep these long term.

Effective ba ito to clean the valves? *travjante or any alternative product I can use?

I have that, not a fan. Sadly build-up is inevitable for GDIs. We can only try to push it back via the care mentioned above. Good gas, proper FS oil, religious/short OCI, injector/deposit cleaners & fewer short trips will surely help. Walnut is still the only efficient & systematic way to thoroughly rid of build-up, sir.

That video from Felix Dan that I shared ussd chemicals to get rid those carbon deposit from the intake valves. Seems effective and easier to do I think.
