i thought it helped, but only 1 tank. it was worthless after the first tank. im getting a full tune up instead because at 103k and i bought it at 93k im sure it was never done.

I'm not a believer on this stuff removing deposits and at the very least it improves the quality of the gas/to not contribute towards making deposits and maintaining the quality of the gas and removing some water in the fuel system. If anyone has cleaned the intake/exhaust valves of a engine with a decent amount of miles would understand; you quickly learn the dremel is your friend and some good carb spray takes the deposits off with some thorough dremeling; so I can't see a liquid diluted in 13+ gal. of fuel anywhere near making a difference in removing anything in the fuel system thats hampering making your car run rough..etc.

the only fuel injector cleaning product I ever had success with was the one from Lucas. My fiance's civic had a noisy injector and after one use of the lucas fuel treatment no more noisy injector. The injector was noisy for about 3 weeks, then 2 days after adding the lucas, it was gone.

I agree with Stewi...Lucas products are great. I worked in the automotive industry for 8 year and have heard alot of things about fluid additives out there in the market.

For fuel I would use Lucas, BG, and Chevron "Techron" and Sea Foam additives

For oil I would use Lucas, BG, Marvel Mystery oil.

I have been using them but I think it doesnt have a great of affect like everyone wants to think. sure it would help clean deposts and reduce water in the lines for faster starts but it wont reduce the wear of the parts and wont help have greater gas mileage....

well don't really care if it works or not.. most of the gas was said to already have cleaning additives, but i still put stp injector cleaner every full tank.. doesn't hurt to try...

I use lucus and it does work, cleans the injectors well, i had a little bit of an idle problem, little more rough than usual but i had done wires and plugs about 5,000k agao so i just used lucus and it smoothed right out.

In my experience, Lucas works the best. I have used STP and others before and I didn't notice an improvement.

Yeah the first time i used Fuel Injector Cleaner the STP stuff it was not bad, but then it was just a waste of money after that like many others have said

You should try BG products, 44k is a gas treatment. I used the kit to clean the fuel system.
