Very true.

In my case, Isuzu recommends I warm it up, pull the plugs, but in cleaner, let set a few hours, fire it up, clean garbage from intake, EGR, and PCV, then change oil (solvent will slip between the rings).

Sure, this is not so bad, given the alternitive. However, the idea of doing this twice a year, due to a design miss, is frustrating.

Again, it could be a lot worse.
