I have a 2016 Ford Fiesta ST with the 1.6L DI Ecoboost engine. As I've done research, I've learned that DI engines are susceptible to carbon and oil build up in the intake and valves.
The one thing that can help alleviate or slow this down is by using an engine oil with low NOACK, SAPS % and TEOST.
I found this guide here showing some numbers for 5W-20 oils that fall in these categories: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18I-xK-pJfhhYMdxC6bhx8cnBLhFZq0AM4a7BtyZzTfc/htmlview
Amsoil Signature Series 5W-20 seems to be the lowest in NOACK and TEOST but no SAPS information. After that, the next lowest NOACK is Pennzoil Platinum.
Any other suggestions that would follow this criteria? I also have a baffled oil catch can on the PCV valve side to help alleviate buildup as much as possible. The car only has 500 miles so I want to do what I can to ensure issues don't happen in the future.
