also when you use this stuff where does all the bigger debris go. Fuel filter, injectors, and other engine internals. I would avoid all these engine cleaners all together. Run good gas and perform your tune ups every 3k miles.

44K works well it seems. I've used it for years, and it's expensive, but it seems to keep everything nice and pretty. That, and good gas.

seafoam. works wounders .

but u need to change oil after use and run it thorugh with a full tank of gas.

there is a couple ways of using it .

put in gas or through a vacum line if im not mistaken and i think theres one more way . u can pick up at advance auto or auto zone .. but i wouldnt use on a high milage motor.

Seafoam.

1/3 in the fuel tank, 1/3 in the oil, 1/3 in the intake manifold through a vacuum line, usually the brake booster. Then have fun and floor it everywhere and see if you can see anything in your rear view mirror other than white smoke. Do that until most of the smoke is gone. Then let your car sit for like an hour or 2 and change your oil.

That's what I do.

That really sounds like nothing I would want in my engine.

My dad's been using it for a long time now especially on his '88 Integra. It's got over 250k miles and still runs like a champ.

I would recommend Wynns Powercharge Additive
the person that developed 44k and techron as mentioned above also developed
Powercharge
44k is good stuff but old technology (10+ years)
pm me if you want a bottle
