Are Shell claiming to have solved our Carbon build-up issue? :shock:

Pretty sure they do. They would claim anything in order to liberate you from your hard earned money...

But, the question remains how that cleaning effect (on intake manifold/valves) would come about in a direct injected engine, where the petrol, with its wonderful and I'm sure expensive ingredients, actually never passes through it/by them.

Such cleaning effects do exist, in general, but only ever in port injected engines.

I always used Optimax, then V-Power. Might have slowed build-up, but it didn't stop it.
