How To Use CRC GDI Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner
ฝัง

- In the past decade, Gasoline Direct Injection engines have become extremely popular with both domestic and import auto manufacturers. Compared to conventional fuel injection, GDI can deliver improved fuel efficiency, more power from smaller engines, and reduced emissions at low load. That’s great! But the popularity of GDI engines has brought back an old service issue - carbon deposits that can rob drivers of horsepower, gas mileage, and smooth operation.
CRC has created a GDI carbon deposit solution that allows you to tackle the problem quickly, easily, and at a very reasonable cost.
CRC GDI IVD Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner is an aerosol spray that’s applied through the engine’s air intake or throttle body and delivered directly to the backs of the GDI intake valves. CRC GDI Valve & Turbo Cleaner contains the highest concentration of PEA available on the market to provide the fastest, most thorough chemical cleaning available. A single application removes up to 46 percent of carbon deposits in the first 60 minutes.
First, just as you would with any product, read the entire product label before using, so you can understand the instructions and the safety guidelines. Next, warm up the engine. CRC GDI Valve & Turbo Cleaner requires a period of heat soak to work, so you want to start with an engine that’s fully warmed up. Locate the throttle body or air intake and spray product directly through the throttle body. If the throttle body is not easily accessible, spray PAST the mass air flow sensor. But do not spray into the mass air flow sensor assembly. You can also remove the air flow sensor assembly and spray where the sensor is mounted. If the vehicle is turbocharged, you can remove the boost sensor in the charge pipe and spray into the pipe. If it’s easier you can also spry into the vacuum port. Lift the PermaStraw dual-action spray system and lock it into place…. with the engine running at 2000 RPM, spray in short bursts until the can is empty. Once the can is empty, rev the engine 2 to 3 times, but tell them not to exceed 3500 RPM. Run at idle for one minute and then turn the engine off. Reassemble the air intake system and let the engine heat soak for a full hour. The heat soak is critical, so be patient, and let the CRC GDI Valve & Turbo Cleaner do its work. After the hour is up, restart the engine and drive at highway speeds for at least 10 minutes. And remember, as our test show the maximum benefit is achieved when the vehicle is driven regularly over the next several days. So, let your customer know they should drive their car regularly over the next week or so. If you have a vehicle with severe carbon buildup, CRC GDI Valve & Turbo Cleaner can even be used in successive treatments. Just have your customer drive about a thousand miles before a second treatment, in order to get the full benefit of the first treatment. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
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!
How to use ? I don't want to break mass airflow sensor ... also, did you change oil after using ?
Did you see any increase in fuel economy?
Did you use it directly through TB or intake air horse? Let me know
Instructions start at 10:48
Thanks
Knowledge starts at 0:00
You are my hero
Wish I would have read this comment before I spent 10:20 watching the other stuff.
The real mvp
Used two days ago on my 2016 Mazda CX-5 with 55,000 miles on it. Used as directed. Had check engine light and several other warnings come up while doing it. After the heat soak car started up normally with only check engine light on that went of after about an hour of driving. Seemed to help idle and performance although while doing the procedure I didn't have hardly any smoke coming from the exhaust. Will do an oil change today. Product worked as advertised.

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!
Hello! Does your car have MAP and Intake air temperature sensor in the intake manifold? Im hearing stories that this product will damage these sensors thats why im still hesitant to use it in my mazda 3 skyactiv
I’ve just used this product on my Aussie 2013 Holden V6 LFX engine. I was just as skeptic as the next person, but I have to say that it’s helped. My smooth idle has returned. Taking off from the lights the engine no longer bogs down. I’m happy to recommend CRC GDI.
Thank you for sharing your results! We are happy that you are pleased with CRC GDI Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner and hope you continue to enjoy the benefits it brings to your vehicle!
Much better than the previous useless video. Thanks for the update... THUMBS UP.
I was thinking the same thing
Yes Thank You as well. I followed the trail you laid to here.
7:07 "how to" begins.
Also 10:47
yep all the above for me! just used your product!! sprayed scrubbed directly on the valves..used brass brushes port by port and sucked it out....broke up very clean and it took me 6 hours but well worth it!
I did the same today. Disassemble the intake manifold and throttle body scraped off every intake valve and reassemble everything.
It really was dirty but I left it really clean. Then I added a second can following the instructions in the can. I saw a really big cloud of smoke coming out of the tailpipe. So I ended using 2 cans. Total work time about 5 hours! But I am really happy!!! No more fucking misfires !!! No more fucking rattles !!!
I saw this guy who had a bmw and he was doing all the above process but no adding the second can. So I said...I want to be really sure I will do the 2 methods!!! :D The results are like difference between night and day !!!
@@joecualquiera when you say "I added a second can following the instructions on the can" I wonder where did you sprayed the can into? If the MAS sensor is in intake, on the n54 335i
Hello! Does your car have MAP and Intake air temperature sensor in the intake manifold? Im hearing stories that this product will damage these sensors thats why im still hesitant to use it in my mazda 3 skyactiv
not enough words can explain how satisfied i am with how well using that cleaner turned out so far
my car runs so much smoother it sounds different, like the car doesnt need nearly as much effort to accelerate, starting from a stop doesnt feel like a chore the car has to endure anymore, and it no longer hesitates on big pull accelerations, like its significantly better now, even the turbo sounds happier and i did this by simply going through the intake past the MAF and through the turbo and intercooler. Thank you for this video CRC im planning on continual use, my car feels amazing now
Thank you for giving GDI IVD Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner the opportunity to lend a helping hand. Stories like yours are what inspire us to develop the best solutions and innovations in automotive maintenance chemicals.
More people need to know about this.
Did you use it? Does it work good?
It does work but you need to careful because this can grab big carbon deposits and break off after the 1 hour heat soak and inevitably clogs your catylatic converters
Man I been looking for this product
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.
same my engine died several times AFTER letting it heat soak, it was scary but I kept turning it off and on to clear the engine of the cleaner
Informative video! We used this on my wife's 2018 Pathfinder, and heard a ticking sound, as some carbon broke off, and bounced around the drivetrain before blowing out the exhaust lol. So I plan on using a can of this every year for solid preventative maintenance
It didn’t blow out the exhaust. It got stuck in the catalytic converter
@@gefreiterkurzmaul it bounced around the drivetrain... HAHAHA. pretty sure your exhaust isn't connected to your drivetrain... fuck this is hilarious...
I just did this on my 2014 accord 2.4 and it was a one owner car but I had poor mpg. If you follow the instructions and I sprayed through the brake booster hose on the intake manifold. During the idle process I fogged up my whole block. Then when I drove it it was bad the fog was everywhere but it fixed my low mpg and idle issue.
I made this treatment yesterday on my hyundai i30 gdi 1.6 135 hp 77.000 km. After an 1 hour an 10 minutes i drove the car at 4.000 rpm for 20 minutes. When i hit 4000rpm in second gear a huge cloud of smoke was released and i heard some noises on the evac, i think that was carbon build parts. The product made his job.
How much improved the MPG in your hyundai? The same happened to me today on a Kia Soul 2013 1.6 , when I hit 4000 I hear a sound and saw a huge cloud of white smoke, the MPG has improved from 19 to 25 on the first day, awasome
@@fernandoruiz734 4000 rpm? So how many MPH did you get? For how many minutes? any police stop you?
@@fernandoruiz734 I did this job today, nothing happened, no smoke, nothing improved at all, and I have never done this before with a Kia soul 2012 and 66K miles on it. I use the PCV hose and one can, wait one hour and drive on the freeway or why. I follow all the instruction
@@irisbaez1972 Hello! Does your car have MAP and Intake air temperature sensor in the intake manifold? Im hearing stories that this product will damage these sensors thats why im still hesitant to use it in my mazda 3 skyactiv. Will this not damage the MAP and IAT sensors?
@@blackriderph4340 Yes, kia soul 20112 automatic has a MAP. doesn't have MAFS. My Elantra 2008 has MAFS.
I did the same job in my Elantra and nothing improve, no smoke at all. I use in both cars the PCV hose.
those clean and shiny mechanics XD
Just bought a can for my Forte 5. Getting ready to test this out soon. Great tips and info.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you need assistance.
@@CRCAutoUS IT WORKS GREAT...easy to use and my car is running quite a bit smoother now. CHEERS! I'll be keeping up on this maintenance over time.
@@ConstantXplorer Hello! Does your car have MAP and Intake air temperature sensor in the intake manifold? Im hearing stories that this product will damage these sensors thats why im still hesitant to use it in my mazda 3 skyactiv
@@blackriderph4340 Yes you can use it on cars that are equipped with those sensors as my car has them. You have to make sure to spray it past the throttle body neck...and NOT into the air intake housing. Make sure you remove the air filter housing and point place the tube right into the throttle body...close enough to the valve opening. This will by pass the sensor altogether.
@@blackriderph4340 Take a look at this simple instructional. My car run quite a bit smoother these days. I plan to do this after each oil change. I also make sure to go with full synthetic oil as well. Every once in a while a fuel cleaner is added....but only after about 3,000-5,000 miles. th-cam.com/video/EmjaM0sIUwU/w-d-xo.html
Used this in a 2016 Mustang EcoBoost with 25000 miles. Sprayed it in the intake duct just after the MAF? sensor. Seems to have worked very well. Off idle throttle has definitely improved. Throttle response seems smoother. Will update if I find and downsides if any happen. Engine did not throw a code and no smoke etc happened.
25K isn't very long for carbon to build up but you like prevented it from building up.
Def better to use it before you have huge amounts of carbon buildup
I love it ! Thanks
Good company and products thanks!
I love this
Very good video
Just used today, 4-15-22 on my 2006 Subaru sti w/140,000 miles. Ej257 engine w/ port injection. I/m readiness 5 complete. 2 are not. Catalyst and o2 sensor. Also idle fluctuating slightly between 500 and 750.
Did it work?
Got a lean condition po171 and I have done so many parts swaps at just under 100k on a 1.4 luv cruize this has to be my savior
Can this be done at or under freezing temperatures?
Should the oil be changed after wards?
How many times should it be done to get that walnut blast clean effect?
Should i change the oil just after the CRC GDI IVD Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner is used?
going to see if they sell this at my local autozone or pep boys for my 2017 2.0 ecoboost.
3.5 Ecoboost F-150. Spraying into the air box goes directly into the air tube ducting then into the intercooler. My main concern is that the product will pool in the intercooler and stay there till a WOT event then flooded into the engine. Does it stay liquid form or does it evaporate shortly after sprayed??
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.
Thank you for sharing your experience with our GDI Intake Valve & Turbo cleaner. We hope you continue to see great results. In the future we do recommend to use the entire can of product in order to receive the full cleaning effect. Remember to spray in short 1 second burst to avoid any pooling which may be the reason for the puff of smoke.
Hello! Does your car have MAP and Intake air temperature sensor in the intake manifold? Im hearing stories that this product will damage these sensors thats why im still hesitant to use it in my mazda 3 skyactiv
I have a 2017 Honda Accord. The mass air flow sensor is easily accessible. Could I just remove the MAF sensor before using this cleaner?
So if I run it through my turbo, should I just not let it hit my MAF or should I also take off my MAP sensors? Mine has 2, one on the intake manifold and the other on my cold side charge pipe
How would I use this product on my 2024 KIA SELTOS SX with a 1.6L Turbo GDI Smartstream Engine? Pics or video would be very helpful as well😊 Thank you.
Very nice, but this product isn't available in Italy (regardless many other CRC products are...)
Going to try on my 3.5 ecoboost
I was considering the same thing on my 3.5 ecoboost
2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 3, 150k. Possibly dumb question: On turbo cars, do you spray it _both_ into the intake manifold (to clean the valves) _and_ down the charge pipe (to clean the turbo vanes)?
I have my intake manifold off as of right now , just to make sure , can I spray this on top of the valves , let it soak , scape it off and throb vacuum out the crap ?
Would it effect my valve stem seals ?
Other than the form factor is this product the same as the crc guaranteed to pass emissions from a chemistry point of view, I am guessing if the crc guaranteed to pass emissions was injected through a source of vacuum in theory in should work the same way. Are this products identical or there are differences ? If there are differences what are they?
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?
Thank you for your comment and sharing your results so far. We recommend at least 1,000 miles before a second treatment.

@@blackriderph4340 I’m not really sure. I drove this car for another 40k miles and it ran great till someone hit me and totaled it. Now I drive a twin turbo Infiniti, this has a temp sensor in the intake manifold and the maf sensor in the filter. I’ve been thinking about doing this but not sure yet. Would have to do the cleaning after the maf sensors for sure. Basically directly in the turbo intakes.
@@mikedavin671 thank you for the fast reply! My one remaining concern will be if the emulsified carbon bits might scratch and scour the cylinder walls. Probably not because yours drove fine.
102k+ miles on a focus and never done any induction cleaning. Guess I should get on that 🤣😂
Me too, I haven't done it in a long time on mine, gonna take it to the dealer cuz I'm worried about doing it myself 👍
I finished the treatment last night, I did not drive it one hour later, I drove it this morning, does it affect the result?
This stuff works
I'll try it tomorrow and see what happens. I should probably buy 2 cans.
Did you have problems after?
I have a 2013 ford fusion eco boost 2.0 liter turbo charged. What vacuum hose can I spray the cleaner into I have no idea what one to use? I can’t access the throttle body it’s down by the radiator in front of the car almost under it.
How the engine need to be on ? While spraying ? Bc own I take off my cold air intake to spray down the turbo it makes the car sound weird
Hello C R C ! Would it be more effective to heat soak for 2 hour vs 1 hour ? Wait your response . Thank you .
I got a P2097 and P2099 after using on my Honda Odyssey. Any advise?
It’s cold where I’m at, hanging around freezing temps. Can I still apply the product? Even with a warmed up engine
Does v6 engines need 2 cans since mine has 2 filters with 2 intakes?
Do you recommend changing the oil after this service on a turbo GDI with blowby? Hyundais/Kias have some excessive blowby on their 1.6t and it is certain this product will get into the oil and likely all components cooled by oil....like turbo seals....
PEA is a dispersant and antioxidant compound. It doesn´t attach oil neither seals. Although you can have it in a curing agent of epoxy glue for less money, kkk.
i live in Canada if i wait a hour my engine is fully cold so should i plug in the block heater XD
Where specifically should I spray into a BMW N54 TWIN TURBO ENGINE? 2008.
Where i can purchase this product. I have a 2012 nissan juke turbo gdi with 70,000 miles
Can you use it in the winter it's about 20 degrees Fahrenheit where I live
Can this be used on a 2003 325ci bmw?
maan!! R U telling me i cant use this on my 2010 hyundai iload turbo diesel?
ive been researching for days on pick up can and found out the best going around is flashlube.
i was researching just now and stumbled over this treatment. i was so excited i couldnt wait until the video ended so i can race to the store that sells it until you mentioned not to apply this product on diesel type motors. dont you have a product for us diesel users? What damage will it do if i used it? or ,aybe perhaps just spray a little amount? what about if i purchased low potent type in the market? please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your comment. Our product chemistry is formulated for gasoline specifically. Diesel engines form carbon on other areas not too much on intake valves when compared to GDI so, we recommend a fuel additive for diesel engines with carbon build up.

On an ecoboost 1.0 with rough idle and 90K km (56k miles) would there be risk of the carbon breaking in chunks and destroying the turbo?
Instructions say to spray directly into throttle body with the intake hose disconnected... but is that while it's running? if so, that would trigger a check engine or rough idle since the
mass air flow is reading incorrectly the air going into the engine. Am i missing something?
Yes, you have to spray it AFTER the maf sensor for that exact reason 🙂
@CRCAutoUS I am asking a very pointed question. Please respond with a detailed answer.
2017 VW Passat with the TSI (170hp) turbo motor: Where do I insert the spray nozzle?
I ask because the airflow meter is immediately in front of the turbocharger and against the firewall.
Please reach out to our technical support team and they can assist: techservice@crcind.com
Short bursts consist of how many seconds? If its 1 sec, this process can take up to 30mins to empty can
A question CRC, in a Ford Fiesta ST with EcoBoost 1.6L turbo engine, where is the recommended point to inject the cleaner? From the airbox trough compressor/ intercooler or thorugh the cold side hose after the intercooler and before throttle body? Thanks
Did you ever end up doing this? Have a focus st with 100k I just bought and the plugs were pretty bad so I'm thinking of doing this too...might do it the real way and take the manifold off and use gas and a brush with the valves closed
I’m very curious to try this on my 2017 VOLVO XC60 T6 R design with the 2.0 four cylinder engine that has both a supercharger and turbocharger. Do you have a video showing those results? I understand these engines have no oil dipstick and carbon build up on the valves is horrendous. Thank you
We don't have a video for this but please feel free to contact our tech services at techservice@crcind.com who can guide you thru the process.
you do this while the engine is running?
Does anyone get this through Imperial and happen to have the item number?
What to use for Diesel engines?
Will this clean the EGR valve?
@CRC Industries,
For a Hyundai Genesis g80 2016 3.8L v6 Gasoline GDI engine, where do you recommend to spray the product exactly?
You can spray in from the air filter housing or as close to the throttle body as possible. Contact technical service at crcindustries.com or 1-800-521-3168 M-F 8am-5pm ET
Is this safe to be sprayed directly through an electronic throttle body?
How does it get to the back of the valve
Questions. 2008 Mini Cooper S (Turbo) If I apply after MAF sensor just prior to turbo intake, will CRC go on to clean the intake valves? OR, should I do a second treatment applied after the turbo closer to the intake? I'm trying to achieve maximum efficiency. Are we sure the deposits that become dislodged wont become stuck in the catalytic converter? How can we tell? Can CRC be added directly to the crank case prior to oil change?
Hell no, don't put in crank case. If you're asking a question like that better let a mechanic work on your car. CRC ONLY goes in your air intake!
Doesn’t it clog the catalytic converters?
How can you run the engine with the charge pipes disconnected? Makes no sense, your saying spray while it's on. How would the car turn on? Won't it throw a code?
Does anybody know if using this product will void the warranty?
I just bought a can for my 07 Mitsubishi 380 with 300k on the clock but now I'm thinking there will be to much carbon built up & may glog my cat? I just bought the car and unsure what oil has been used & fuel quality.
how bout a 2016 sonata 1.6 turbo
Is it necessary/recommended to do an oil change after using the CRC Intake Valve Cleaner? TQ.
Probably cause then the spray gonna be in the oil
Please provide specific instruction for using this product with PEUGEOT 308 T9 2015 1.6THP (110KW). Where do I spray and do I need to remove MAF sensor?
Please contact techservice @ crcind.com and they will assist. Thanks.
Ok, so this is cool and all, but what about us direct-injected diesel owners? Is there a product to help us with our carbon build-up issues?
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.
I'm wondering same things great questions wish someone would answer
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 have the same exact concerns about the MAP and IAT sensors. Did you already use the product and not have issues with the sensors?
@@blackriderph4340 I have done it on my '17 Mazda6 at 25k miles on the odo, which has all three MAF, IAT, and MAP sensors (no turbo), and it runs fine. I can't tell if it did anything and I haven't visually checked before and after on the valves. I haven't done it on my turbo CX-5 yet. It's still under factory warranty and don't want to risk.
@@dogwink i have the same setup in my mazda3. The map and iat sensors are in the manifold. I still cant decide if i will use this procedure. Ill buy the product anyway it can still be used in manual cleaning. Thanks for your feedback
I just changed my oil and filter, then had a check engine light. Is it necessary to change the oil after performing this service?
Thank you for your comment. It is not necessary but it is recommended.
Is there a recommendation on,
Before or after oil change?
The instruction video says 1,000 miles between applications on extreme. Is there a maintenance schedule?
Thank you for your comment. We recommend performing the service first and then changing oil and filter. After that its every 10,000 miles or every oil change for maintenance. If your vehicle has high miles or you know it has heavy build up you can do another service after 1,000 miles. Then move onto the general maintenance schedule.
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.
Asking for advice again. I tried two times already but no good result on my car, 2011 VW Tiguan.
I sprayed thru the intake air hose right after MAF sensor. But I feel maybe better result if I find the brake booster vacuum hose. The vacuum line from vacuum pump has three ways out; one to brake booster, second one to a metal tube, third one leading to some kind of black box near throttle body. Could you tell me which one I need to inject this CRC spray?
Please reach out to our technical services techservice@crcind.com
I have a 2013 Hyundai santa Fe and sonata. I think they have a MAP sensor and not MAF sensor. The MAP sensor is located after the throttle Biddle butterfly. There is no way to avoid it. So is this spray still safe to use?
Thank you for your comment. Yes the product will not harm MAP sensors.
Do you have to change your oil after using this? If so how long after do you change the oil?
No, you do not have to change your car's oil after use. The product enters the combustion chamber and leaves thru the exhaust.
For wrx 2017 its safe and good..????.cause walnut blasting is $$$$
How soon should I change my oil after treatment?
We recommend changing the oil after using the product and during the 1 hour heat soak or after the test drive.
I have a Hyundai Tucson with GDI 1.6 turbo that is burning oil and completely empty by 1,000 miles. No smoke or visible leaks (oil spots on driveway etc) but definitely signs of carbon build-up. It's been like this for about a year now and has 87k miles on it. My question is about how long can a car go with build-up before internal parts are damaged?
Hi there. It would be best to contact your dealership to assist in troubleshooting issues and questions
Can I spray directly into the turbo on the intake side after removing the intake tube from the turbo?
Yes you can go through the turbo. Just remove boost sensor
I have a Chevy cruze 1.4 turbo. Should I be spraying before the turbo or after. Is it safe to go through the turbo and intercooler?
Thank you for your comment. Yes the product is safe to go thru the turbo and the intercooler.
You can spray in from the air filter box housing or as close to the throttle body as possible.
How can this be used on a hybrid that has a gdi engine?
Is it safe for my 2012 ford f150 ecoboost to spray pass the maf though the intercooler and turbos then to the intake?
I have a 95 Honda Del sol and the MAP sensor sits on top of the Throttle body! Can I still use this? Just put the straw past it, deeper inside?
As long as you don’t spray it directly it will be fine. You still have this Del Sol?
@@rumpelstiltskin2454 Hell yeah I still have it! Burning up and down the Freeways at night having fun!! 🤣🤣
She's running pretty good...
You said deeper inside
Heres my issue, 2013 kia optima 2.0 turbo has 2 map sensors, one is directly mounted into the intake manifold.......sooo uhhh? Map sensor ok to spray near. Maf not ok
When using this product what happens to the carbon that is on the valves? Doesn't it get into the cylinder and onto the pistons??? That can't be good right?
Thank you for your comment. The product contains a high level of PEA which attaches to the carbon and slowly dissolves it so chunks of carbon will not break off and cause any damage.
Hello, i checked your product and i cannot locate any sellers in Greece. Also I have a question, can i use the CRC GDI Valve Cleaner 500ml in Turbo cars like audi A3 2.0TFSI
Thank you for watching, yes this product is safe and has been proven very effective at cleaning turbos. Please contact info@crcind.com for information on where it can be purchased.
Wouldn't this be better if I found a vaccuum house that leads to the intake for this??? I have a 2017 chevy cruze.
demands where at, its better to do it at the TP since it goes straight into the intake and combustion chambers; evenly throughout. The vacuum line option depending where it's located might only deliver a certain amount to a cylinder.

We recommend spraying in the product from the air filter housing or as close to the throttle body as possible. All of our testing on turbo and non-turbo engines was conducted from the air filter housing. Visit www.crcindustries.com/gdi to see all of our testing data.

Should I perform the cleaning only before an oil change? or is it ok to do right after fresh oil?
The oil change is simply a convenient frequency indicator; nothing to do with the oil itself.

Hi, according to video, for turbo engine spray into charge pipe or vacuum port, will that clean the turbo as well? Does throttle body works?
Yes, We recommend spraying in from the air filter housing or as close to the throttle body as possible.
@@CRCAutoUSIf I spray directly at throttle body, turbo will not be cleaned correct? As turbo is before the throttle body. To clean both I have to locate the spot after my maf sensor?
Hi, I cant find CRC carbon deposit removal in Singapore and also Amazon seller does not ship to Singapore. Anyway to get it?
Lazada has
I'm thinking about trying this on my 2019 ford ranger. It's at 28k miles, and I've noticed a little stumble on cold start from time to time. So spray down the turbo inlet and into the throttle body?
