Common Weaknesses & Maintenance Notes

Although highly reliable, the G4FA engine has a few maintenance points owners should monitor. Some units may develop timing chain rattle when engine oil is not changed regularly, so high-quality synthetic oil and consistent service intervals are essential. Carbon buildup in the intake system may occur over high mileage, especially in vehicles with extended service gaps. Coil packs and spark plugs are wear items and should be replaced periodically to maintain smooth engine performance. Additionally, engine mounts may soften over time, causing minor vibrations. With proper servicing, the G4FA engine is well-known for reaching high mileage with minimal issues.
