Do you ever wonder if Toyota direct injection ( D4S ) System build up carbon? In this video we take a look at an in service Toyota D4S engine to find out if that is the case or not.

Toyota's D4S injection system uses both Direct and Port Injection. So in theory it shouldn't build up carbon. But does it?

In this video we have a 2017 Toyota Sienna with a 2GR-FKS engine which has Toyota's D4S System and we will find out if it does build up carbon or not.

I also share some tips on how to prevent carbon build, D4S System reliability and more.

    You're always going the extra mile by actually showing the valves and that's greatly appreciated
  • @rayman4449
    I have been a Honda guy for very long time and just bought my first Toyota. This dual injector setup is one key reason for my switch. Toyota is getting it right and trying to do the right thing :)
  • @OMAR6575
    As an owner of a 4GR-FSE engine currently pushing 180k , i can honestly testify that, yes the oil changes, using good fuel and having a long hwy commute does work. You Sir are absolutely correct.
  • @jimf.625
    This man is more than a master mechanic. He is an absolute genius mechanic. A guru.
  • @stevenyoung3360
    Great info. After having been in this business for 34 years, I too say change your oil early and often. Don't buy into 10k mile oil changes on your vehicle. Your vehicle is quite often the second biggest investment in a person's life and needs to be treated as such.
  • @ericr2zz
    This is the best channel on Toyota technology! Great explanations backed up by real world examples.
  • I'm not even a Toyota auto mechanic but somehow I always learn valuable tips from the Car Nut.
  • @kcm732
    so glad this system works. ive put so much faith in this system over the years, happy to see more sound engineering from toyota 😇🙏🏻
  • How can anyone not love this guy? AMD - you mentioned that some other manufacturers have figured this direct injection thing out and minimized intake carbon buildup. Can you tell us who besides Toyota does a good job?
  • For years I've told people to get the vehicle out on the highway or freeway, get it up to the speed limit and hold it there! The more you drive it that way the better it will run and the longer the engine will last! Change the engine oil and oil filter every 3000 to 4000 miles OR every 6 months, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST! those two steps will help increase the engine's life! Toyota's got the right idea with GDI AND Port Fuel Injection. Together they do a great job. Thank you for this video.
  • No need to get a speeding ticket doing an 'Italian tuneup", just downshift to keep the rpms up higher. That is the key.
  • @HypocriticYT
    Few mechanics truly know theory of operation on modern vehicles. CCN knows his stuff 😊
  • This is exactly the video I was hoping to see. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together!
  • @p6102zrfxe
    This is exactly what I waited to watch. Thank you a lot.

    I have a 2020 Honda Ridgeline with 85,000 miles on. Recently I changed the PCV. ( No particular reason ) I just changed and I found the original one was not working 100% correctly. it was hanging up a little. Very easy DIY. The motor seemed to run a little smoother after I changed it
  • @litespeed7715
    My mom just bought a 2018 Camry with 30k miles on it and she almost exclusively does short trips. We will do 5k oil changes with the OEM filter and the occasional 'Italian Tune-Up' thanks to you. My Toyota has 160k and I hope to get another few 100k out of it. I'm following your maintenance schedule. My family and I thank you!
  • @mattmc8391
    This was a great topic to cover , I’ve been curious to see intake tract on one of these after a few miles .
  • @tomryan9616
    Another great lesson from the man! Thank you. I’ve watched every video, keep them coming.
  • @tacomafan5186
    I really enjoy your videos. Very educational and explained in a way regular people can understand. Thank you!
