I did a CRC Intake valve cleaner treatment. Followed the directions and sprayed the cleaner through the throttle body. Took others warnings to heart: the engine bogged down with spirited acceleration after letting it heatsoak. Light rattling could be heard when revving over 3k rpm at highway speeds. I got a couple of good smoke clouds the first few times. The CEL started flashing by the fourth time. Came to a stop and restarted the car. Drives fine now.
I physically cleaned my valves with B12 Chemtool with 68k miles. The CRC treatment was done at 80k. I’ll probably keep doing this every other oil change to keep things tidy.
