    I'm sure this has been a thread before, but I'm curious. Which fuel treatment/injector cleaner does everyone use and any reason why? I use Lucas Fuel Treatment every time I change oil in my vehicles.

    Well I guess it's really your preference. Some people use them and don't notice a difference. Usually my first tank after using Lucas fuel treatment I will notice better mpg but not after it. I just like to keep my injectors and valves clean b/c not every gas station uses clean fuel and I think it prolongs the life of your engine, but that's just my opinion.

    Nothing yet but before the next oil change I'll drop seafoam in three inlets; gas, vacuum and oil. I'll be changing the plugs also at this time.
