I see it like this. you spend 10 bucks on injector cleaner for something like 355mls !!!
you could spend 10 bucks and get 9ltrs or so of BP.Caltex or Mobil 98 |

Many new car dealerships regularly add a can of injector cleaner at each service....I wonder why. And at less than $10 compared to one day off the road and $$$ to have them cleaned by whatever other method why would you bother.

Seriously
Nulon injector cleaner - does SFA, basicly its a owner comforting thing that you think its doing something :P Nulon Total Fuel System cleaner - Bugger me it actually works. I put it in my car and it regained fuel ecconomy, made it run smoother and stopped my fuelpump for making the occasional strange noise. I have put this in at least 5 other peoples cars and EVERYONE has come back saying there car was running in someway better.

[QUOTE] I work at Supercheap and a fellow worker with a BA XR6 said the same thing, I promptly picked up a bottle and poured it into the bad boy on Sunday, but she hasn't seen a mechanic in the engine bay for eons (Except for replacing a idler pulley and snapped belt), so I'm still waiting.

Think about it. At my old work (dealership) we'd flog two bottles with every non-fleet service. Bank on 30-40 cars a day, maybe 5 or 6 of those are fleet. That's $500 a day to do nothing more than empty a bottle into the fuel tank and leave one in the centre console. That's $500 before you start flogging tyres and hoses.
