Are all Fuel Injector cleaners the same?

My friend tells me that Amsoil is the only way to go. I haven't heard of any others using it though. Most people here on H-T swear by either Redline, Techron or Gumout Regane.

Others here use either BG Products http://www.bgprod.com/ or Duralube.

Which brand is the best? (And) How often do you use it?

Someone from another board said that in his auto class they read a study that said that chevron techron was the only one that actually worked. Thats what I use, probably every 3-5k miles.

 

i fill up at chevron everytime

 

yeah chevron is the good stuff, its about 10 bucks a bottle, but its good

 

Used Exclusively in both my cars.

There's a guy local that did some test similiar to what the other guy mention. Out of the top ended up being Chevron and Red Line.

 

In this poll, Techron and Regane get most of the votes. Techron is the clear winner though, at about 2 to 1 over Regane.

FYI: They have a 4-pack of Techron at Costco for $10.

 

costco, which one? is it all costco?

 

sorry to hijack thread, but do the cleaners actually work?

 

i used the Valvoline injector cleaner...Synpower Super Concentrated. Noticed better throttle response, less hesitation from my b16. but maybe it was all in my head.

 

i'd have to agree with the Techron... as for the question 'do they actually work,' the off the shelf stuff works but not as effective as hooking up the actual injector cleaner to the fuel system and cleaning it that way.

 

Check your local one in the auto aisle. Here's the stock number: 439345
