    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

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

    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.

    Ah okay, kasi ang mineral oil or semi synthetic mas prone sa carbon deposits at less protection sa carbon kung sa GDI?

    Use the engine oil spec required for your car's engine. Eto kasi ang fully tested ng manufacturer sa car engine nila.

    For example sa Mazda Skyactiv direct inject gas fuel engine, required talaga na ACEA A3/A5 Euro blend or API SN / ACEA C3. Using other oil spec may lead to some side effects, e.g. oil gunk deposit build up due to incorrect viscosity.

    Ah okay. May mineral naman na pasok sa API SN / ACEA A3. Hindi nga lang pasok sa required viscosity.
