Thanks for the pics. Would of loved to see the intake valves. I suppose the tech didn't mention exactly what vehicles/motors they saw better performance from after the valve cleaning? In my mind he's probably talking about the general population and we know how they take care of their cars...or DON'T.
With your driving habits of tracking high MPG, I am under the impression you like the AFM/DOD? I bought my car with 2,400 miles and it's had a Range most of that time. I always hear that spirited driving helps the DI issue with intake valves vs driving easy all the time. But like someone else already said, there doesn't seem to be those issues on these motors?

I fully intend on putting a Range module in, but I was honestly curious if my driving habits (daily with a lot of AFM activity) coupled with meticulous maintenance using all recommended fluids would prevent a lifter issue. To be fair, I don't have a lifter issue. So this seems a bit random.
I have been going over all bulletins and there is this procedure (not sure it's what they discussed with me).
