This looks like the old water decarbonizing thing that’s been around for years.

I have used Sea Foam in 4 strokes. Not sure where the "2 stroke" thing is coming from?

Which vacuum hose did you used for the top engine cleaner? Watching the Youtube video, he stated to used the vacuum port closet to the throttle plate. Can you snap a picture of which hose you used to do this process?

What are people’s thoughts on adding TCW-3 oil to gas (1oz to 5 gallons)? I searched and did not find much on 5th Gen board. Interesting concept

I’m sure the dealer who charges 300 dollars for putting nitrogen in your tires and does unnecessary maintenance knows best.

There are 2, and I alternate between them. One is on top, the other behind the TP. Will post pics later.

FYI the cleaner I got had a little sludge in the bottom which would plug it up. I cut the pickup tube a little bit and added a fuel filter. Works great.

Be advised you will run rough and throw codes, longer than I expected, but it does resolve itself. I am a fan so far.

I think it invites more problems than it fixes, though I have wondered about it.

Apparently they don't know how to remove the oil housing drain tool which resulted in chocolate rain for me.
