BG-44K works wonders!

After tolerating idle shudder for months in my '99, 70K, and numerous check engine lights for misfires and the like, I decided to get serious about a fuel system cleaner. Having tried Techron concentrate numerous times to no avail, I finally tried BG-44K. It's expensive, but what a difference! Idle shudder has been reduced to a minimum, and check engine light went off immediately! And this after only 1 day of driving. I recommend this product to everyone, it is well worth the price.

Haha.. they didn't pay me anything. In fact, *I* had to pay through the nose to get it. I got it from Adam's Automotive on Blalock @ Katy Freeway in Houston. There are numerous dealers, just check http://www.bgprod.com to find the dealer nearest you.

I have posted on this product quite a few times.
This is the same stuff your ACURA dealer puts in at like your 15K & your 30K mileage service intervals. You should put a can in around every 7,500 miles & use the BG MI3000 Plus between that. You should be abale to by it from the ACURA dealership this is what I did.

Hey guys, just got back from Robertson Honda, to do a tranny flush, asked about BG products and such. Mechanic said they use BG products for most of their maitainence needs i.e. fuel system, engine flush, etc. Anyway, they ask me if I wanted the fuel system flush done, and I initially said no...But changed my mind since he said both the tranny flush and fuel sys. flush would be 200 bucks. This price sounded good so I went for it.

My Tl has almost 100K miles on it and I have to say that the BG products are pretty good. It isn't like TOTALLY AWESOME, but you WILL feel a difference in accelerator responseiveness. I was actually pleased with the outcome. With the smoother shifting and acceleration, my TL is a pleasure to drive one again.

Mechanic told me they didn't sell BG products over the counter, but I went to the parts department and asked for it, and they brought it out!@!! Hmmmm...wonder why mechanic lied to me. Anyway, the BG44K was bundled with two other products and he said it was ~$34. I think that is pretty good, considering the BG44K alone is like ~$20. Anyway, hope this helps all of you wondering if this stuff works.

I figure, the fuel system needs to be clean anyway, so might as well give BG44K a try.

lol I swear Seotaji. All you say is in NC ____ is $___. I wasn't aware that pricing on car maintenance was by state? (yes thats sarcasm and I'm just messing with you) $200 dollars for both is a good price. The pricing depends on where you go. For the 45k service I had dealers quote me 400-140 dollars.
