    Under the hood

    Hi Guys...

    Like to go from cleaning the outside to whats cleaning your insides.

    I mean , inside your engines..

    What additives do you use to keep your engine going at peak performance?

    Re: Under the hood

    I probably should do more but regular oil and filter changes every 3-4000 miles and BG 44K fuel injector cleaner about every 4-5 fill up.

    Which reminds me...i need to clean my filter elements on my CAI!

    Re: Under the hood

    Gotcha. I guess my only specific answer is BG brand 44K fuel injector cleaner added to the gas tank about every 4-5 fill ups at the gas station. My independent mechanic suggests fuel injector cleaner added at EVERY fill up but that's too expensive for me. I get the BG cleaner at about $21 a can and that's 1 tank full's worth! I do believe the best way to add it is for maybe 3-4 consecutive fill ups if you don't add it every time.

    I use Chevron Techron concentrate. It's one of the best, at least IMO.

    I use it right before every oil change or every 3000 miles to be specific.

    Wooo Puck...that is way expensive..I've see Amazon has 3 cans for $50. I wound't mind adding it at every oil change , like Kecko says but each fill up...

    Absolutely nothing besides using Shell V-Power gasoline most of the time.

    The big bottles of Techron go on sale at Costco about twice a year.

    The six pack was 24.97
