Nissan Sylphy Carbon Buildup Malaysia
The MRA8DE uses port injection, not direct injection — this means minimal carbon buildup on intake valves compared to direct injection engines. The throttle body may accumulate carbon deposits from 60,000–80,000 km, causing rough idle or stumble on cold starts. Chemical throttle body cleaning every 60,000 km is the main carbon-related maintenance. Fuel injector deposits are also possible if low-quality fuel is used consistently.
