Yes, mainly because an awful lot of crud builds up in the Throttle Body if the breathers have been neglected and there is a small drilling on the side of the body that is connected by a thin vacuum tube to the fuel rail pressure regulator which can get blocked and cause fueling problems.

Well since putting 10/40 semi in mine its started smoking and hasnt stopped , all the breathers have been cleaned quite a few times and still no joy  :( Im going to use a thicker oil and see if that cures it , only other thing is inferior oil  :( Its the same set up as ralfs .

Also there is a small breather from the rocker cover , mine was blocked on the throttle body  :(

You cannot do it without removing it to do it properly.
