Fuel Injector Cleaner

Is there a need to add this to the tank every so often? I used to do it when I drove older, less reliable cars.

I have 35,000 on the odo - should I do it?

Consider it preventative maintenance. Best case scenario...it helps to keep the injectors clean. Worst case scenario...it does nothing (and I highly doubt it will do nothing).

I put in a bottle a month or two ago. I figured the worst it could do is at least give me the feeling the car runs better my head. and it did. I just a complete all in one fuel system/injector cleaner from STP. I am sure it helps. It was only $10, definitely do it.

I have been putting about 5 ounces of fuel injector cleaner into my gas tank once a month since january of this year. Will continue to do it for a year and check back with yall. So far, no difference in gas mileage or performance but i figure it cant hurt

I just tossed in a bottle of STP. I only use Shell v-Power which is already full of detergents so I'm expecting to not notice a difference.... I'll be upset if I do lol

Like someone mentioned above, worst case is it does nothing for you.
