Fuel Injector Cleaners
Im not sure if I would use any type of fuel injector cleaners in the Z or not. If I did it would probably be a BG product of some type. They use BG at the dealers so probably ok. I think the manual suggests not to use any fuel additives. Good luck. Just my .02 cents

can anyone else give opinions on BG stuff?
My car has 66k miles and I've never run fuel injector cleaner.
I'm thinking about trying a bottle out to see if I can tell a difference.

I used some Redline injector cleaner ONCE (at 30k miles)....for the next 10k miles, the fuel pump got REALLY loud....more than normal - ha! Finally stopped making the noise & haven't used injector cleaner since.....Just my $.02.....
Modern returnless injection systems don't circulate gasoline continously thru engine compartment [heat] so they are less prone to breakdown fuel before it is used up........less need for fuel rail and injector cleaners.
Injector cleaners spray the intake valves and piston crowns where the bulk of the deposit build up decreasing flow and raising compression and creating hot spots.
Don't think of them as just cleaning injectors and they make more economical sense.
The miniscule amounts [reduced to save money] of detergents added to gasoline may actually build up deposits after 200 gallons or so important to rotate among the dozens of additives to keep a clean combustion chamber............either by different brands of fuel or external additives.

show me an independant study (and not some advertising propoganda) that show this to be true, then you would possibly have a good argument for the use of htese products
normal techron that you can buy in a regular autozone/pepboys/advanced will work just as fine if not better.
only use it about every 3 months or so or at every oil change if you want. Don't be putting it in every fill up or what not, cause it will cause some slight damage to seals with over use.
Here is the stuff i use at my shop

Its a good practice to use fuel injector cleaners. I used to always use it on my SR 240 and now continue with my 350z. I've been using STP for years and I give it an A+. Be sure however to use it wisely.....after every oil change and also a good idea to go to the gas station empty, use one bottle and fill in tank and put premium gas (half tank) for a good mixture.
I use b12 chemtool for the gas tank every 6 months. and I use seafoam (1 can) to clean out my intake manifold through the vacuum hose for carbon deposits and (1 can) into the motor oil to clean piston rings, lifters, valves etc. 50-100 miles before I change my motor oil. breaks up engine build up. done it to the last 3 hondas I've had and 2 toyotas cars and trucks ran up to 300,000+ miles with not one day at a mechanics shop or stealership. my .02
