Hi @sphinxgr! I have found out why I had the check engine light on, but it was unrelated to the cleaning with xado. The top chain guide has fallen off and the vvti gear was dirty. We have replaced the chain guide and cleaned and reassembled the vvti gear (this is not recommended, but the...

@sphinxgr I have done 2200 km since the cleaning with Xado Anticarbon and the consumed oil is 1.1 L, which means that the consumption did drop from 0.6 to 0.5 L/1000 km. I could not see the change until now, because it is only an improvement of about 17%. It is not much, but it is better than...
