As for the "alignment and fuel induction service", see attached scan. Looks like maybe they meant wheel alignment (which maybe I'd look into after replacing tires at next oil change interval) HOWEVER the "fuel induction service" still seems suspicious. As you speculated, I'm guessing they just meant running some injection cleaner through the system. Regarding the transmission/rear differential fluid changes. Thoughts as to why the factory maintenance schedule says "inspect" only for the transmission fluid? I did find (as you point out) many threads here suggesting that both (rear diff AND transmission) fluids be changed. Again, thank you guys both. |

I am a strong believer in not over changing fluids. Many people seem to just do it because they can and it makes them feel better. Tranny and diff oils though can certainly stand to be changed a little more often than the others. This is especially true in places that see temperature extremes of heat or cold. Not saying run out every year and change them unless tracking or very heavy use but that is a different discussion.

There are indeed cars that can benefit from such a service but the Twins double injection (direct and port) really does a pretty good job of blowing carbon off on it's own.
Could get pretty much the same results as dumping a $7 bottle of cleaner in the fuel tank anyway.

I bet there are at least a few that strongly believe it is AWD and turboed so there is little doubt they will not have a clue that it has the Toyota DS4 injection system on it.

this "fuel induction service" is a load of BS. It's not a fuel additive, so it's a lie to say it "works its way through the injectors."
It's sprayed into the intake upstream of the throttle body.

Oh that's right. Isn't that where they take the can of cleaner and pour/spray it into one of the PCV ports on the back of the intake manifold? Waste of time with D4S.

I thought they put the car in a mist filled room with the gas cap off and that is how it manages to clean both the intake AND the injectors. Then it all meets in the middle through the throttle body and flush's off the valves.

literally takes a screwdriver and 20 minutes to do yourself, but i'd never do it on a car with less than 150,000 miles, and only if it's got a funky idle.

It's also a dessert topping and floor wax!
It did save my CB650 with four sticky carbs that a shop couldn't even ... Helped my 2 stroke string trimmer start in the spring for 20 years. Seafoam has a place. Just where, is debatable.

it's a bit of everything. more like wd-40 for inside the motor.
i see they've got 'sea foam spray' now for intake cleaning. 20-ish years ago, they didn't have that. the official procedure on the can was to pull one of the vacuum hoses ahead of the carb/throttle plate, and basically allow the motor to 'slurp' the stuff in. there was a real risk of hydro-locking the motor with this method
