I have brand new Telluride and have driven only 250 miles so far. I haven’t even filled it up with gasoline yet. I plan to use Top Tier stations and fill with 87 octane and change my oil at the recommended 7500 mile intervals and will request full synthetic Mobile One. Any thoughts or comments? Oh, and this is my new company car, I do about 35,000 to 40,000 miles per year So I’m a little concerned about the GDI carbon deposits I’ve been reading about; hence the questions. Thanks in advance.

The Telluride GDI uses the Atkinson Cycle....the intake valve remains open for the first 1/3rd of the compression stroke pushing gas back over the intake valve and into the intake. Using top tier gas should be all that's required to prevent buildup.
