What kind of fuel injector cleaner?

I've used Techron since forever with great results. However, one of my friends told me that Chrysler sells this Mopar injector cleaner that is phenominal. He dumped it in his WRX and could tell an obvious difference. Anyone else ever use this Mopar stuff?

Nope, but I've used BG 44K before and it worked pretty well.

i use BG 44K....only place i know where you can get it at is ebay. it's pretty expensive, but considering how great of a job it does, it's worth every penny.

Redline worked great but was hard to find

Next best was full synthetic Valvoline total fuel system cleaner from Autozone

Techron Concentrate for me, its been around a long time and many people swear by it.Wish there was a article that tested all this stuff and show the results being that there are so many on the market you would think someone would want to check the effectiveness of these products.

I think if you notice your car is hesitating its probably really bad at that stage ....like oil changes there inexpensive and best done at regular internals...I put a bottle in every few fill ups.

stick to the Chevron Techron. The Mopar stuff is real good too, as is redline. I wouldn't really try anything else

Haven't used the Techron, but I've been told by a mechanic buddy that Lucas liquid tune up is decent. Ran it in my 00 Civic EX coupe that I had before I totalled it and got the TL. Did quite well in it though. Tried the Lucas in the TL week or so ago. We'll see how it works. No problems with it so far.
