Hi Trevor--------------It doesn't take very much to upset the balance on these engines. For this reason, it's a good idea to set up and follow a preventive maintenance program. This would include all the filters, for sure. Once you have the car in tune, it's a lot easier to keep it there with periodic maintenance. With just a little attention, Z engines will stay in top running condition for long periods.
