A little note on the decarbonising engine fluid. I have been in the racing industry for 7 years. Actively building endurance race engines for japanese/local cars for the 12 hour MME race for almost 5 years and taken many pole position finishes for class B. I have never used an engine cleaner fluid on either the race cars or my customer's cars(I do co-own a workshop). I personally feel that using an engine cleaner might further deteriorate the condition of the engine as you can never drain the engine clean of the fluid after using it. These cleaners are basically petroleum based solvents and will mix with the new oil and might cause some extra wear and tear in the engine as the new oil might lose it's properties. Just my 2 cents, I would rather stick to the usual 5K service intervals with a semi synt oil and a new oil filter.joeylow</blockquote>
