Fuel Injector Cleaner debate?
I was thinking using fuel injector cleaner on my Acura. Hoping it might help with the mileage. I was thinking of using BG 44k or Chevron brand as people recommended on here.
But I heard it can cause harm to the engine. I can damage the oxygen sensor. My bro try it and a few month later, his Toyota's oxygen sensor need to be replace. Anyone experience any of these problems?
The other method is seafoam. I did some research and still have no idea how that work? How complicated or time consuming?

I use Regane complete fuel system cleaner, or Chevron Techron every 8k. As long as you don't over use it's fine. Seafoam is used widely around here, and if you do a search on it you will come across a very informative thread.

see the gen2 thread: seafoamed the ol TL
for 16+ pages of tips and pics
Its easy and SAFE to do- makes the car run way better, and if you do the burn off drive afterwards- wont kill your O2 sensor- it may trigger a CEL that will clear itself if the buildup was bad.

BG44K is the best fuel system cleaner in a can. Amsoil PI and Gumout Regane are close 2nd's. Seafoam is a great top engine cleaner, but I'd use the others first for a fuel system cleaner.

The Lucas is a good product which I used many times in many fuel tanks.
Tech at Lucas said their cleaner adds 3 octane when added 1 3/4 ounces per 1 gal fuel
Then azine introduced me to Seafoam which works well in several ways Lucas does not, and I have been using it since with good results. Take your pick - just use something!

Its been well tested by ziners who all say its great, even has a money back guarantee.
The newfound way to get it right into the manifold right AT the Throttle body, and hits all the cylinders is in the DIY section- works way better this way
BK is highly praised here as a fuel cleaner used in the tank
Seafoam is the only one I have heard of the vac port method for getting it right to the valves and pistons.
I will admit to using other brands of fuel cleaner now and then. I run Tier1 quality gas- being chevron texaco or 76 or shell.
