(i'm sure this one will illicit colorful and varied responces)   John Moore (Jmoore) Senior Member Username: Jmoore Post Number: 776 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 04:28 pm:    I use it at every oil change!

I've used the Land Rover injector cleaner stuff at most oil changes. No noticable difference either way.   Joey (Joey4420) Member Username: Joey4420 Post Number: 117 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 07:13 pm:    I've used the Chevron stuff, but never noticed any difference, I now use Lucas Upper Cylinder Lubricant (I buy by the Gallon at $20) a gallon treats 400 gallon of fuel. I put in once every 1500 miles. Seems to keep my Disco happy and running smooth.   Mark (Mrroverman) Member Username: Mrroverman Post Number: 49 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 11:12 pm:    i use Redline fuel system cleaner.

Same for my other vehicle, no change. I quit throwing money away on this, lottery tickets are a better choice. joe   Gary Sherman (Sbts1) New Member Username: Sbts1 Post Number: 19 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Sunday, July 27, 2003 - 04:59 pm:    I have used it for a long time. You need to use the Techron "fuel injector" cleaner and do it when you are close to empty. Use concentrated, only mix with 10 or less gal of gas. Have used it on a V12 Jag,LR,Montero,Suburban,and BMW. Have never had a plugged injector. Have been thinking about trying a product called Seafoam.
