I got my 7500 mile checkup, and im the bill is said graphite/fuel and none of the suits that worked there new what it was.

So what is graphite/fuel?

 

man no one knows huh

 

I had an issue like that when I took my car in to Ramsey Acura when I first bought it for the first oil change. They put some kind of additive in the oil and I questioned. I got no reasonable answer. I think it is an underhanded way of a dealer selling you additives trying to make money on service. I have no problem with a dealer making money but they should at least tell you up front what it was. I made them remove it from the bill because I did not request it. By the way..... I never went back. Switched over to Park Avenue Acura and never looked back. That can't be too far from you. Hell NJ is only 150 tip to tip.

 

Jerseys alot bigger then that! But thanx for the info about your experience. I need to call them and ask a tech what the hell that stuff is.

 

There are threads on the graphite stuff. Dealers sell it, but Honda does not recommend it.

 

Tell them you didn't ask for it, and you want it taken out and a refund for what they charged you.

 

That would be the fuel injector cleaner they are using, the name of the product is Krex graphite fuel injector cleaner.

 

so fuel injector cleaner huh. My tank was less then a quaterfull. isnt it bad to put injector cleaner in a tank that empty????

 

We recently stopped selling all additives as Acura seems to no longer show any support for any of them and also to keep service prices in line .

Well i dont mind additives, i was just a little upset that no one knew what it was. and im concerned about the fact i had no gas in my car when they added the cleaner
