Techron and Gumout Regane are excellent cleaners. You can often find the Regane bottle on sale. It has a good concentration of PEA (Polyetheramine) cleaner and is proven to be very highly effective. Other cleaners are often just filler junk containing relatively ineffective cleaning compounds which I dont have the time to discuss.

Lucas=garbage. I recommend Chevron Techron, Gumout Regaine, Red Line SI-1, MOC's Fuel Injector Cleaner and Toyota's additive but IMO use GOOD gas like Chevron or Shell and you won't need to add stuff so often.
For spark plugs, I like to use the OEM Denso PK20R-11s.

Lucas oil stabilizer causes oil to foam up. I've used the Lucas fuel additive and my car smoked until I ran the tank dry and filled up again. I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a old beater and need a band-aid fix.

I need to go buy a quart to use when my tank gets low!
I called this guy who supposedly "specializes" in cleaning fuel injectors. Told him I have a 97 Lexus LS400. He's like, "Oh I've never seen one of those things before! What kind of injectors do they use?? I couldn't tell you if I could do it unless I can see an injector.."
Hmmm.....PROBABLY not going to him lol

Depends how he cleans the injectors. You can send in your injectors to certain company for them to clean and bench test Some injectors are not compatible with certain cleaners. But since I doubt any of us are willing to have down time or the money to do it, pouring in a bottle of cleaner is the next best thing to do.
Have about 3-4 gallons of gas in the tank when you're doing this. Then drive for 20-30 miles or until you're near absolute emtpy, then refill. Just dont push it to the point where you run out of gas .
