Hey guys, i've been spending about a week doing research on fuel injection cleaners. I forget where I cam across it and then began to do research on it's benefits, pricing, brands, prices, results, point of views, etc...
Although i've gotten good amount of info, I wanted to ask the board on what are the thoughts on this. Also do you use/recommend it.
I have a 2014 civic sedan EXL. My goal is to care for my car to last a very long time and run well and efficient the most I can. I don't do engine mods (stick to oem), I run Top Tier gas regular only (Exxon/Mobil and I have done research on their detergents), I change my own oil following maintenance minder and use Mobil1 0w-20 AFE and Mobil1 EP oil filter, I've sent out my oil for testing and it's doing great and the intervals are great, I also do regular cleaning of interior/exterior.
Now even though I am using Top Tier gas and good engine oil, i really want to make sure i maintain my mpg and have a clean engine/fuel injections. I was not planning on using this every 3,000 miles as stated however I was planning on using it once a year (around oil change time). Also living here in NJ, all gas stations have a minimum of 10% Ethanol. Ethanol, although a small amount, can't be good for the engine.
1-Does anyone here use fuel injection cleaners like techron? (i know oil company like texaco/chevron already have techron as additives however we don't have those gas stations around here and the techron additive I would be buying is concentrate form).
2-What are your results, do you recommend it?
3-When did you start using it
4-Do you know anyone who uses it and what their results are or feedback?
I have close to 27k miles on my car and never done this. I chose techron because their additives are already included in their chevron gas so I believe their ingredients must be safe enough to not damage my car.
Thanks in advance
