Always a good idea to have some spare $$ in the bank for a new gearbox.

My car always feels extra super awesome after a service (always done at dealerships) It just feels awesome by the time I get another tank of fuel in there.

not sure but every 5k i always add injector cleaner which goes in your fuel tank.

cleans fuel injectors
reduce deposites in combustion chamber
stops pinging

I use wynns premium fuel/injector cleaner forget what its called

If it work or not im not sure as the car feels sweet after every 5k servvice i do with the UEC.

With the UEC, i do it every 5k but half the usage so i spread it out becasue i think a whole can every 5k is over kill? Maybe wrong.
