$13 a can at the local autoparts stores. Video is convincing but so are all commercials! Except those annoying "real people" Chevy ads on TV! :)

Anyone guinea pig this yet? Where does it spray?

I'm still debating a catch can.

Interesting that the 2018 Mustang has both throttle body and direct injection at least in the 5.0 engine.

... but not my '17 Expedition.

Correct, 15-17 Expeditions have the 1st Gen 3.5TT EB, as do current Explorer Sports. Only the 17+ 150 and 18+ Expedition have the 2nd Gen 3.5TT EB, that features both Port and Direct injection.

Direct injection produces a lot of carbon deposits port injection with it or not. The 5.0 can still carbon up it’s the nature of the beast. That product looks like it would be good to use.

It does, but port injection because it is before the intake valves allows the fuel(A solvent) to clean the intake valves. It isn't perfect, but it does significantly decrease buildup.

That stuff is the same thing as Sea Foam Top Engine Cleaner that's been around for years. I'm not familiar with CRC but I am with Sea Foam and I'm a believer in their products. I think either one would do the job and probably a good thing to add to your maintenance schedule

Be careful with the cleaners. The solvents in the cleaners are getting to the turbos and ruining them.The last I heard Ford does not have a way to clean the valves. They are not warrantying them.

Pretty sure the dealers have a procedure to clean the valves and gum out. Not sure how the solvent would damage a turbo.
