Hi just wondering, Do you regularly clean your fuel injector? What brand do you recommend? And does it really gives you more mpg?

 

You have more than one injector. I generally run SEAFOAM through the vehicle every 15-20K miles.

 

i use lucas injector cleaner, works really good,i feel the difference right away,use it like every 3k miles or so,

and yea injectors not injector

 

chevron techron is the best out there

 

BP Product's 44K fuel system cleaner, dump it in the tank, fill up. I usually use it every 13k-15k miles. Usually notice a rough idle which tells me that I need to clean the injectors. 44k tis the only cleaner that has worked for me, tried everything else. Gave up once I found that this worked and worked well. about $20 a can. yes mpg's did go up about 3-4mpg.

 

Do it every oil change whichever urs is 3-5k. Can't go wrong with buying it while picking up ur oil.

 

That's not really good advice, I can't agree with that statement. The fuel injector cleaner can stay as a residue on the cylinder walls, and can mix with the oil. If anything an oil change should be done AFTER using the fuel system cleaner to make sure that it's not mixed with the oil.

Also, BG Products have said to only use it every 15k miles as over-usage is not beneficial. Think about it, if it's strong enough to remove carbon deposits and varnish, then it shouldn't be used every 3-5k miles and that schedule isn't required for a cleaner that actually cleans off all the deposits.

every 15k would be more than enough for a product like 44k fuel system cleaner.

 

Tnx for all the input guys... Im about to hit 25000 mileage and notice that in the past few months my mpg consumption increase... I'll try cleaning my fuel injectors and see if it will give mo more mpg.

 

Also try cleaning your MAF, and make sure you have a clean air filter.

 

I would use Justice Brothers injector cleaner hands down better than lucas and seafoam.

 

Yea seafoam is not that great, i need to try a better one.

 

I know some might not think much about Gumout, but the Rogaine formula is among the cleaners with the highest concentration of PI. Which is the main chemical compound used among cleaners, even higher than Techron which is good. Another one would be the Redline cleaner, but the Rogaine is much cheaper and easy to find.

 

Honestly dude... I've used them all and they all do the same thing. I prefer Lucas oil for engine additives though... It's been around forever and they're very reputable.
