Do those accumulated dirt means oil is leaking from those parts?
I already replaced the engine air filter as well as the cabin air filter.
There are other tasks listed by priority on my list but want to make sure if I should bump to prioritize taking care of those shown in the pictures.
EDIT:
This has probably been asked. But can I use 5w-40 on the cyclone engine instead of 5w-20? My other vehicle uses 5w-40 so I can just buy and use 5w-40 on both vehicles.
2008 CX-9 FWD has approx 163,000 miles as of this posting.
2013 Q5 3.0T has approx 144,000 miles as of this posting.
Is it safe to use the Bardahl No Smoke + Stop Leak on the cyclone engine? Or is it just snake oil?
I think Chemtool B12 is good and works. I already used the Chemtool B12 on the fuel tank just recently hopefully to clean up anything that it can clean.
