Yes, this is confirmed by one of my officemate. It was an accidental topic, he said it really extended his battery life. He is using a different model of CTEK.

How's your M3's DI engine intake valves? This guy made a youtube video on how to clean those intake valves.

Just look at those nasty oil and carbon deposits! These are the inevitable maintenance issues with the Skyactiv direct injection fuel engine.

This is what DI has to contend with. OVT is working on measures to delay & reverse the build up in Skyactivs......Stay tuned.[emoji4]

Decarb service won't clean like walnut, but it should somehow help delay the buildup. The injector cleaner Mazda has is good to keep injectors clean, not the head. Catch cans can help, too.

Mazda was well aware of the DI downside when they designed the Sky. To help keep the problem of intake valve deposits that plague current direct gasoline injection engines at bay, Mazda determined that these are formed when intake valve temperatures fall below 400°C. Measures were taken for head temps to hover above this point....but we gotta do our part, though....take the longer, less jammed routes, drive the car spiritedly every chance we get...SAFELY.[emoji4]
