Everyone should read their owners manual!!! First thing they should do when they purchase a product. Must be a reason they make them !!! LOL.

Use premium fuel and a fuel additive at every fill up! ----- (Lucas Upper Cylinder Lubricant with Fuel Injector Cleaner, at a rate of 4 ounces to every 10 gallons of fuel!) ---- It is a "Direct Injected Engine," (and like it's diesel relatives), it produces carbon and soot, that can freeze piston rings, cause engine blow by, and through the PCV system, deposit carbon on the back sides of the intake valves! ---- This will then require a "manual cleaning process!"
