Thoughts on fuel injector cleaner?
 
i was just wondering what your thoughts on Fuel and Engine Cleaners/Additives where. I have a 99 s70 Base with 128k , is it worth it? does it actually work, and if so what should i get? What brand, are any better then others.
Btw i heard Sea foam is pretty good, jw if any of you used it.

I don't use any engine additives, just run full synthetic oil.

I do use Lucas fuel injector cleaner, every 2,500 miles or 90 days, which ever comes first. Dirty injectors can cause burnt valves.

I swear by seafoam and also marvel mystery oil, I have had many old honda goldwing motorcycles that have been made to run like new and my buddy has a 2000 buick lesabre that ran like crap after a tune up we put about 6 ounces of MMO in and 2 cans of seafoam and after that tank he was back to a smooth running engine and 31mpg on the highway. I was never a believer but have a lot of experience using it on mowers, sno blowers, motorcycles and cars, there are videos maybe on youtube on how to run it through your vacuum system and clean that up. Seafoam is also a much better fuel stabilizer than anything else you can buy.

Where can I buy this Lucus Fuel Injector cleaner. Im definitely interested in using in my 99 S70 as well as well as my father in his 99 S80 which has 285k miles on it.

I have never used the Lucas product and it might very well be good stuff, but +1 on the SeaFoam and Marvel Mystery Oil. Both very good.
