I recommend an Emission Service every 30,000km’s. For most people that’s just over a year’s driving.
The biggest reason I recommend this for is fuel economy. The second is quick and easy starts.
When your vehicle rolls off the production line the fuel system is clean. The cylinder, intake and throttle body are free of fuel deposits. It’s the most efficient it can be and the emissions are as low possible.
Then Gasoline happens. Gasoline is a hydrocarbon fuel and when a hydrocarbon fuel is burned, one of the by products is carbon. Carbon deposits form on the combustion chamber walls, back of the exhaust valves, and on top of the piston piston crown. The throttle body and injector tips are also affected. The deposits rob a vehicle of its performance, but more importantly of its fuel economy. By removing these deposits, your vehicle will perform and run like new. Fuel economy will be restored.
Some people will recommend not doing this service until the vehicle runs poor or you are getting poor mileage. By that time, you’ve burned a lot of fuel unnecessarily. Essentially sending your money right out the tail pipe. If you do this service right from the start of your vehicles life, the carbon will never get a chance to build up and you will have great mileage.
