Dealerships dont typically clean like this. The service bays would be filled with smoke, which this video conveniently does not show. Did they explictly state 'Walnut Blasting' or Mechanical cleaning? Otherwise, its probably just some additive they added to the gas tank.
This sounds similar to the CRC product. I have used the CRC product in my GDI engine and I was impressed with how well the engine ran after application. The downside is that it is a two-person job like this one. I have used the Berryman product twice now which just hooks into the throttle body intake and dispenses while the engine idles. Not clear which is better, but the last time I used the Berryman I got a glorious cloud of smoke after I went for the post-application drive. The person behind me was probably not happy.
On a twin turbo setup with two separate air intake filters we recommend you apply one can through each separate air intake filter inlet. On a twin turbo setup where each turbo shares a single air intake box filter a single can can be used.

@@TheGumoutChannel My wife's GV70 has dual air boxes too. I was wondering the same thing however it has dual injectors so regular PEA injector cleaner might be fine as the intake valves will be washed.
*empty 1/2 can , do in 2 times wait 1/2 hour then empty 1 /2 , after waiting to let fluid dissolve carbon. Do every oil change to prevent build up. Before oil change*
Ive done this service on a ford fusion ecoboost and used a different brand which was a throttle body cleaner product and sprayed before the turbo and almost ruined the engine/turbo.
Gumout Foaming Intake Valve & Turbo cleaner is a more aggressive cleaner than Gumout Carb/Choke Cleaner. Made with CarbonClear, the most advanced P.E.A. cleaning agent available, Gumout Foaming Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner is strong enough to cut through thick carbon deposits, even at extreme engine temperatures. The foam also helps with atomization, as well as, dispersal throughout the intake, while minimizing the risk of hydrolocking. Gumout Jet Spray Carb/Choke & Parts cleaner has a powerful jet spray that is designed to blasting away gum, varnish, carbon, oil, grease and dirt deposits from the inside and outside of the carburetor or any other unpainted metal part.
Yes, our testing included vehicles with over 100,000 miles. We had great results with cleaning on the turbo compressor wheel, impeller, throttle body, intake manifold, intake ports, combustion chamber and even the catalytic converter.
How would I use this on a VW 1.4T engine where I have a boost sensor within my charge pipe and an MAP sensor on my intake manifold. Is this cleaner safe for those sensors just not a MAF? Or can I not use this?
I bought one but I'm not sure how to use it, I have a 2004 sienna and the intake hoses are difficult to take off and there is a resonator. Not sure if I can just use a vacuum tube, not sure how and where to insert straw without damaging anything
Thank you a lot, I'll try this on my 2013 Hyundai Genesis Sedan 3.8... it doesn't feel like it's got that problem but I'll use it as preventive maintenance... hopefully it works in this car engine type..
This is definitely a service that you want to do before there is a problem. With GDI engines the carbon buildup on the intake valves can become so bad it has to be mechanically removed. Better to do a little preventative maintenance than have to do a lot more work down the road.
You might get a check engine light from this too. As long as the vehicle doesn't have any problems that you know of, clear it and see if it comes back. Some vehicles are kinda finicky and may even run a little rough until all of the stuff is gone from the air intake. Take it easy on it until then. If you are in a place with a speed limit of 25 or 35 that may be low enough for you to give it a good chance to get back to normal.
Your individual driving conditions and style will impact how much carbon builds up on the valves, so there isn’t an easy exact answer. We would recommend every 12 to 15 thousand miles as a good starting point.
@@TheGumoutChannel I just bought a Porsche Panamera S and it has about 105k miles I used a can about at 102k ish miles and after 3k more miles I used another one because i have no idea how much build up there is. What is a safe miles estimate to use the product again. I was thinking 3 months or every 5k miles with oil change. Do let me know what's the recommended mikes to use the valve cleaner. Thank you!
Will this work on a 2015 gmc sierra with 6.2? Also you say you don't have to do an oil change but you recommend it? I just did oil change day before I watched this video
Yes, Gumout® Foaming Intake Valve and Turbo Cleaner cleans all carbon deposits. If carbon is causing your turbo vanes to stick it can remove the carbon freeing up the vanes.
You are correct, the majority of the carbon will exit through the exhaust. We’ve extensively tested to ensure the product/process will not damage a catalytic converter.
Most hybrids have a maintenance mode (or something similar) that will allow the gas engine to run with the vehicle stopped. You will need to use your vehicle’s manual to determine how to enter the mode for your vehicle.
Can I also do it right where it connects to the throttle body like how the Sea foam directions do it I did the Sea foam treatment before I just don't want it so close to my mass air flow sensor if I do it from the other end
Depends on what you want to clean… If you’re trying to clean the overall system then start passed the MAF sensor near the airbox. That’ll clean your turbo, throttle body and valves. If you want to focus the cleaning concentration more on the valves then maybe connecting it directly to a brake booster vacuum line that goes to the air intake will do just that.
Correct, turbos do have an advantage because they are boosting air into the combustion chambers but as the turbo becomes dirty its performance is diminished. Combine the diminished turbo effectiveness, with carbon build up on GDI intake valves along with dirty injectors and you’re not getting the MPG or performance your car is able to deliver. Clean air and fuel in = better performance and MPG out.

Spray it before the turbo, but be sure to keep ANY foreign objects away from the turbo intake so it won’t accidentally end up ingesting it and cause damage
The gum out "all in one" after to maintain is senseless for direct injection. He admitted it in the video, fuel sprays directly into the cylinder, not over the valves. Hence, the use of the foaming spray to clean the valves...this is what happens when you hire somebody to read cue cards instead of an actual mechanic
You’re only half right, an Intake Valve Cleaner, unfortunately, does not clean GDI injectors. GDI injectors tend to have more stubborn carbon built up on them than PFI injectors. This is because GDI injectors are inside the combustion chamber. For lack of a better description, the carbon bakes on GDI injectors because of combustion. Over time, this carbon disrupts the spray pattern reducing GDI injector performance. Adding a Gumout Fuel System Cleaner with PEA based CarbonClear after using the Foaming Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner will clean the injectors which helps maintain the crankcase. Our video from the Oil Geek, Fuel is the ENEMY of your Engine! explains this: ruclips.net/video/1V1WMAJllgc/видео.html&t - unburned fuel causes blowby which increases carbon build up on the intake valves. If you haven’t checked out The Motor Oil Geek’s channel you should, we guarantee you’ll learn a lot: www.youtube.com/@themotoroilgeek Sadly, where you are correct, using a fuel system cleaner won’t stop, again it only slows, carbon from building up on the intake valves which is why we recommend using Gumout Foaming Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner annually.
Can this be used for a Kia Optima 2.0 Turbo? The air intake looks different then the one in the video, want to make sure it's safe and won't his the MFS.
The key is finding where your mass air flow sensor is. I recommend you watch this video it will as it help you identify where your mass air flow sensor is (ruclips.net/video/ykZgu5YkJ2c/видео.html). Once you locate your MAF sensor make sure you are introducing the Foaming Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner after the sensor. You could also introduce the cleaner right before the throttle body.

Adding anything to your gas tank of a direct injection vehicle will not and can not clean your turbo or valves clean since in direct injection vehicles, fuel get injected into the cylinder directly. It could clean the piston rings clean but not much else. Spraying this into the air intake could/should work though.
You are correct, a fuel additive added to the gas tank will not clean intake valves or turbos. However, a pour in does reduce the amount of buildup on the valves because, as you mentioned, it cleans the rings and combustion chambers which reduces blow by. Also, don’t discount the cleaning a pour in additive with CarbonClear (has PEA) does to GDI injectors which tend to have more buildup on them than PFI Injectors.

Port Fuel Injected (PFI) engines do make keeping the intake valves clean a lot easier. Just using a Gumout Complete Fuel System Cleaner on PFI engines will ensure your injectors, intake valves, combustion chambers, and piston rings are cleaned. Our CarbonClear cleaning agent has also been proven to maintain O2 sensor and catalytic converter performance. Direct injected engines (GDI) do make maintaining performance more difficult because fuel is no longer sprayed over the intake valves, which is why this service is needed as well.
The dealership trying to charge me $500 for this service 😂😂 pathetic
Depends how they do it. If they do it by manually cleaning it is 100x better. If it's another cleaner agent then yes this is better
Are you sure this is the method they were using or are you just jumping to conclusions?

So if you have "twin turbo" do you perform this maintenance twice with two cans, one can in each port?

Tje question is where all the carbon will be gone then?it might close the oil small holes and could damage the motor!
The carbon doesn’t break off in large engine destroying chunks, it dissolves into the cleaner with the majority passing safely out of the tail pipe.
It can clump up and clog a catalytic convertor if you don't do the 15 mile drive. It is a must do.
Do you have to change the engine oils immediately after the services done or it's not necessary?
It is not necessary to change your engine’s oil but doing so is a good idea.
@TheGumoutChannel I just changed my oil, should i wait just before the next oil service, or will I be fine?
Have you tested this on an engine with >100k miles that’s never been cleaned?
Yes, our testing included vehicles with over 100,000 miles. We had great results with cleaning on the turbo compressor wheel, impeller, throttle body, intake manifold, intake ports, combustion chamber and even the catalytic converter.

Look for the vacuum hose after the MAP or MAF sensor and you will be just fine,
Introducing it right before the throttle body would be fine. Just make sure the hose does not come into contact with the butterfly valve.
Is it better to spray right at the throttle body? Or closer to the airbox?
Depends on what you want to clean… If you’re trying to clean the overall system then start passed the MAF sensor near the airbox. That’ll clean your turbo, throttle body and valves.
