Should I fog my engine

[Asrich]

I have two 2008 GTX 155. The service manual does not mention anything about fogging the engine for winter. In fact, it says do NOT spray storage oil into the throttle body. Yet, I see some people recommend fogging the engine. Any advice?

I've just done XPS lube into each cylinder. I'm thinking fogging it might mess with certain sensors?

Thanks for your reply. The manual did mention a sensor in the throttle body that can get clogged from storage oil.

Pull fuel rail, or spark plugs to fog.

Have a 2006 GTI 130. Always winterized but never fogged and runs great after 10 years.
