Fuel Injector Cleaner
Does anyone recommend a brand of fuel injector cleaner or is that a waste of time and $$$? I had heard that Redline was good. Didn't know if many 944 owners regularly poured the cleaner into their tanks at each oil change.

You actually feel an improvement afterwards?

For turbo's it's not wise to use a cleaner as discussed above. The cleaner can make some dirt particals come into the exhaust system. The particals can damage the turbo fan.

Will you feel an improvement - yes, maybe a little. Use techron, change your fuel filter, and use quality gasoline. After a tank or two, you should feel some improvement. There is an article in the tech section about cleaning injectors.

I find that Chevron and Valvoline FI cleaners both work. They won't give you 15 hp but I notice a smoother idle and acceleration, and probably better mileage but I don't check.

I sent mine to get cleaned and blueprinted. The engine runs much smoother now!

Berryman B-12 works good.

It is a gas treatment. You pour it in your tank when you fill up.

Chevron Techron. It's the only cleaner MB recommends - whether that means anything or not. MB doesn't like oil additives. About the only things they recommend are Chevron Techron and Water Wetter.
