Here’s a checklist:

✅ Use high-quality fuel from reputable stations e.g., PSO, Total.

✅ Avoid short trips only — take occasional long drives 30+ minutes to allow full burn-off.

✅ Do regular spark plug, air filter, and oil changes.

✅ Don’t delay fixing misfires o r sensor errors.

✅ Clean the throttle body and intake at regular intervals to promote complete combustion.

✅ Consider using Catalytic Cleaner Additives every 10,000–15,000 km e.g., STP o r Liqui Moly, but only in moderation.
