Is the 1.8L coking issue related to direct injection?

When I had the first inkling of an issue, I let it ride and my lifters started clattering.

After heavier oil and "flush" product at oil changes, nothing more.

Did I do it the correct way? Doubt it. Still gets 33mpg if driven at 65mph. 80mph gets 28 mpg.

I may invest in a gallon of seafoam. I am serious. I see no reason why my car can't last until 250k. Some in the gas, some in the oil.
