So I should be out in my unheated garage 3 times in January to clean my TB? Maybe you shouldn't over oil your air filter. There is no good reason why your TB should need cleaning that often.

RE: MPG increase
if you read his other posts they don't make much sense either.
When I called him on the 10k miles per spark plug he then said it was a typo and meant 30k
I still don't get the throttle body as I just cleaned mine at 30k and it was pretty clean, I can't imagine doing that 20 times and doing my oil 10 times.
Btw your sig block still looks too large.
Oh yeah the best thing to do is replace your gas every 5 days, even if you haven't used it, it won't be as good as gas right out of the gas station, trust me, that and rotating your tires on your lunch break you'll see savings. Hahaha lmao
Another btw were you the guy that wanted a 4.7,5.7 and 3rd gen thread?
