What kind of Maintenance Addatives do you use?

I was getting my oil changed at my local shop and i was checking out all of their "additives" to make your truck run better. And i was wondering, whats the best? and are they needed?

So what do you use for
- Fuel system cleaner?
- Oil System cleaner
- A/C cleaner
- Anything else i might be missing?

Also do you use Nitro in your tires or regular air?

thanks

 

None, zero, zilch, nada.
Oh, wait I do use a little LSD additive when I service the diff. That is all though. No need to on the other stuff. Use good oil and gas, change all filters per the maintenance schedule.
It's a Toyota truck!

 

i'm more of a jack daniels guy myself.

So you guys dont use anything else other then just check fuel injector cleaners? ok good to know!

 

Bg injector cleaner every 10 thou miles is pricey but the best use b-4 oil chng

 

I think the manual actually says not to use any additives. Personally, if I lived in a colder clime, like my former NJ, I would add in some water remover at some point.

 

yep.....................good shit man!!!


i use seafoam when necessary, and every oil change, i'll run a bottle of techron in the gas tank. gonna try the

$25 bg44k BG 44K fuel system cleaner power enhancer 11oz.

bg44k later on down the road.

oil additives and such........i dont use any of that. running synthetic oil....never have had a need.

 

The only stuff I use it Techron (fuel system cleaner).

 

Seafoam covers it all for me.

 

Best thing you can use!!! (IMO)

 

yep.......and you can pick it up at walmart for around $6 or so a can. works awesomely!!

 

What? I just paid over 9 bucks a can! I'm gonna be sending you $$$ to pick me up some come tune-up time!

 

damn!!!!! where did you get yours at man??? autozone??? its high as camel cock there!! i think at our walmart here.............seafoam is maybe $6.44 a can.................maybe a lil more. i'll check when im there next......probably tomorrow after work finishing up some last minute shit!

 

I put Z-Max in with every oil change. It is a Micro-lubricant goes "deeper" than oil. I don't know how good it works though its expensive so im assuming it works.

 

I run a can of Seafoam through a tank of gas every 3-5000 miles. Same effect as Techron/Chevron, but about 5 dollars cheaper.

 

Water remover / dry gas or whatever else they call it is just alcohol. Now that the government mandates that pump gas contain 10% ethanol adding another 12 ounces of the stuff to your tank is probably pointless.

 

Never thought of that. No wonder most of the "dry gas" products have been relegated to the dollar store shelves.
