They are saying the oil and Carbon deposits on the throttle body are causing the P0305 SES light.

They want to do a fuel service cleaning, don't think I am saying it right but they say that it is done about every 15000 miles. Is this true and should I get it done.

They also want to replace the passenger side cabin filter and do the flush but its expensive like 175... Is it worth it?

So I'm guessing you have a 2010 model? 2009 didn't have cabin air filter.

Word of the wise, any time they tell you why something is wrong. Get them to put it in writing. If they cant put it in writing then you know something is wrong. All the work they do and why, get them to put it in writing.

So if they say the gremlin in the engine is causing a problem. Get them to put it in writing. Just in case you have to go back to get it fixed a second time you can ask them what is the reason now? You just might get a new reason second time around and get that in writing also hehe.

From what I found months ago, Royal Purple is indeed an ester based oil. That is why I decided to use it in my 370Z and have been for 7500 miles without issue. 2 track days and lots of daily abuse. I doubt the type of oil you used was the issue.

Chupacabra · 03-03-2010, 12:48 PM

anyone else use this:

every 6-7k miles?

MightyBobo · 03-03-2010, 12:56 PM

And really? Carbon deposits on the throttle body? The one thats always open seeing as our valves themselves are the throttle body?

That's my point.

Carbon will never deposit on a throttle body...ever...(OK, exceptions: if you have blown valves and are backfiring through the intake or a really bad crankcase blowby issue with smoke billowing out your PVC hose, even then that'd be more like smoked oil/soot deposits not carbon build up)

Have them change your tailight fluid and muffler bearings while they're at it.

On an old 240SX I had there was some build up around the throttle plate that was affecting idle. It was more like dirt though, not sure how they are calling it carbon...

g96818 · 03-03-2010, 02:00 PM

go buy a can of BG 44k, that should clearn ur engine up

LaSeeno · 03-03-2010, 02:23 PM

All we have for premium up here is 90, pretty damn weak.

Nevers · 03-03-2010, 02:22 PM

They wanted to charge me $108.00 to reset the code... Really...

i think the stealership is screwing with you or don't know what they're doing. why would oil cause a misfire? especially in only one specific cylinder?
