Buildup on the back of valves is also from oil mist. Lack of routine oil changes - letting the oil get really dirty.

Good grief. The farcical lies just happen to be true, full life cycle. Most EVs break even around 30k miles and unless you live in West Virginia, charging is cleaner too.

Full disclosure, I drive a manual VW and have one that gets even worse mileage on order.
