I have the old port injection on my Toyota Corolla and it works fine. Think unless they quit building crap like this it may be my last car at 76 years old.
Coming up to 3 years ago I bought a "new" 2000 4Runner for my wife. Yea, I'm old school too.I have the old port injection on my Toyota Corolla and it works fine. Think unless they quit building crap like this it may be my last car at 76 years old.
In my 2017 Hyundai 2.4L GDI engine - here is my plan for DI engines (which I have researched) :
*Your mileage may vary , but above tips should prove helpful...
- Use Top Tier gas
- Use a bottle of fuel system cleaner before every oil change
- Use a good quality synthetic oil rated for DEXOS D1 / Gen 2 along with a good oil filter
- Do not exceed 5K miles on an oil & filter change in a DI engine
- Use a intake valve cleaner every 12K miles
- Change spark plugs 10K miles early
- Inspect the PCV valve every 30K miles to ensure it works properly
That is not a "catch can" as we are discussing here on the thread. It's at the wrong end of the PCV valve. The catch can in the video is used to prevent oil vapors from reaching and ruining the Throttle Position Sensor.
The old school port injected VQ35DE in our 2016 Nissan Quest minivan felt more powerful, got better fuel economy and was smoother and quieter than the direct injected VQ35DD in our 2019 Nissan Pathfinder. They both have similar drivetrains aside from the PF having 4x4.
I get it I'm comparing Nissan to all the above, but I'm struggling to see the benefits of DI.
FWIW, my 2019 Ram 1500 classic crew cab 4x4 w/ a hemi gets better fuel economy than the Pathfinder! The PF is lucky to get 17.5mpg tank to tank w/ daily driving. I haven't gotten less than ~20mpg with the Ram.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I use Chevron Supreme SN+ in our 2016 2.0 ecoboost. $12.42 five quarts wallyworld.Proven Plan for GDI
Ford 3.5 Ecoboost TGDI.
1. Buy cheapest oilchange special (oil and filter) at the Autoparts Place that meets latest API Standard (SN, SN+ and now SP) and recommended Grade (5W-30).
2. Change Oil & Filter every 7,000 mi.
3. Don't run UOA. You know it's full.of fuel, the dipstick smell of gasoline is obvious.
4. After 420,000 mi start wondering when the failure prone timing chain and turbos will need replaced and if you should trade it first.
Spark plugs every 10k.....why on earth?In my 2017 Hyundai 2.4L GDI engine - here is my plan for DI engines (which I have researched) :

Ohhhhh 10k early......got it.
New Corollas now have CVTs and a mix of both port and DI. So even their durability is going to take a hit going forward.I have the old port injection on my Toyota Corolla and it works fine. Think unless they quit building crap like this it may be my last car at 76 years old.
