Also. DO NOT inhale the old winter air, I accidentally breathed some in and now I see spots, suggest wearing a mask when purging
Be careful. If you aren't flex fuel you can't do that.

my method will work on all gas engines, from 2000-2014, it should work on 15+ but it hasn't been tested. As usual results may vary slightly, but I believe this is the method used by most manufactures when testing to get the Estimated fuel consumption city/hwy as my results match those numbers exactly!

I see you have not been purging them.
To prevent that in the future you need to seasonally purge them!!! Duhhh!!!

LOL, I'm sorry to say but you sir are an idiot. Why wouldnt you wear a mask! The lack of common sense on this forum scares me sometimes

The Italian car makers have been using a hot air system for decades. It's called the pompousius
