Dealer recommended intake cleaning?

My dealer recommended that I should schedule intake cleaning based on mileage / age of car...thought that the dual / port injection would keep this clean in comparison to a direct injection only car?

I have a 2020 BRZ, so 4 years with just a tick over 20k miles. Driving is street only for commuting / travel and a few back roads only.

Let me know if there is a recommended interval or load of ...

Cheers

It's a steamy load. Ignore.

It is worth getting into the throttle body and cleaning the butterfly valve once in a while


You can do this with a rag and some throttle body cleaner

TB is worth cleaning as mentioned.

I do find adding good injector cleaner every oil change like redline helpful. DI injectors known to slowly gum up, anything I to slow that process is good.

Thanks all for the confirmation and recommendation to clean the throttle body! Will occasionally run some injector cleaner here and there.
