however i am not sure why you would say that,,,, we have been in the market since 1939,,, very proffesional company we only sell to auto dealerships however i was given the oportunity to bring this to the streets of CFL and other areas.

the fuel prods are ,, meant to clean the entire fuel system,, injectors, intake/ exhaust valves,, intake manifold and TB,,, is based on a 3 stage process, however there are many other options.

i use techron fuel system cleaner every 10k or so, have used engine restore to reduce lifter noise which works well and marvel mystery oil once in a while added to my fuel.

i was in the same boat years ago i wouldnt put any other gas other than Chevron, and also used the super techtron concentrate, until i came across Wynn's
wynn's has been around since 1939, the level of cleaning you get when you service is amazing , you guys can visit the link in my sig if want to research or can just plain ask me.

saturday we will be throwing a car on the dyno after the service this customer has been serviced for a week now and he calls me almost everyday with great feed back, he noticed his car pulls harder, better throttle response, alot beter gas milleage.

dont miss out, we guarantee you will see results

Alot of oil additives say that they are not meant to be used on turbocharged cars so im to afraid to risk that, but i use justice brothers fuel system cleaner and it works great. not sure where you can buy it but i get it from the dealership i work at.

It's my first time owning a brand new car plus the Evo is kind of a sensitive car so I triple or quadruple think before I put any stuff that I'm not sure about into the car.

I went 50K miles so far without adding any oil or fuel additives. But I think it's time that I put some fuel system/injector cleaner in it. I've been hesitant about it because I don't know what to use. But it seems like you guys like Lucas and Chevron Fuel/injector cleaner. Any other recommendations?

I have used BG MOA oil additive since I bought my evo and I love it, it keeps everything nice and clean and every once in awhile I will use BG 44k fuel additive too, but its expensive whereas the MOA is alot cheaper and I do it every oil change. Do some research on the BG MOA, I did before I started using it and had nothing but great luck w/ BG products from the dsm days.

Chevron Techron is the best fuel injector cleaner imo.

There's been several threads about a lifter type noise except it occurs at around 3000 rpm. I've had this twice and each time, when I used a fuel injector cleaner, it went away. One time I used a premium priced fuel injector cleaner and the other time I used the cheapest stuff they had at Walmart. They both worked the same.

I don't use anything atm. I just starting using E85 so I might use something in the future to help clean the injectors.

I use Fuel Injector cleaner, along with Lucas upper cylinder lubricant and octane booster. All of which are effective and noticeable.
