Washed the Z today, and upon drying under the hood noticed a leaf sticking out the air intake inlet. Stuck my hand in there and sure enough, there were quite a few. I'm sure it wouldn't do any damage (so I hope), but worth taking a peek in there every now and then during the Fall. You guys would be surprised to see some of the leaves I took out of there (I live in New England). Bigger than the inlet itself. God only knows how they went in. lol. I should've taken a picture.

 

yup, I clean it every 3000miles with the oil change, find all sorts of crazy stuff in there.
