Very interesting. I've already got an oil catch can, and I swear by it. I may try out the intake valve cleaner product.

No, the 2015+ engines do.

Since your engine doesn't have direct injection, it shouldn't ever need the intake valves cleaned.

Awesome I didn't think that my 2011 did. Now to install that catch can that's been sitting in the garage for the last year or so lol

It's funny... I didn't really start reading about the need to worry/monitor the build-up on intake valves due to DI systems until I started seeing all the BMW boys complaining about walnut-blasting them, and the concerns. I'm glad I only want to deal with owning E39s, and maybe an oddball E46.
