Which fuel injector cleaner to use?
Hello my fellow S2KI members. I am planning to clean my injectors and I was told about using the Chevron Techron cleaner. So as I go to buy one at my local auto store I come to see 2 different kinds but seems like they both do the exact same thing. Well, I took some pictures so I can show you guys and tell me which one is better(if any at all) or what the rest of you guys use. Sorry for the poor quality, took it off my iphone. Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys for the quick replies. I was leaning towards the 12 gallon one but had to make sure. Maybe, me having pictures helped with the quick replies.

You may want to check out Lubro Moly products (more popular with German cars). I've used the injector cleaner for my previous BMW and have heard good things about that brand.

wouldn't this be the same thing as getting some Chevron Gasoline because it already has Techron added?

I heard that these don't really work.
Wouldn't it just be better to just buy a new OEM set? Like this you're guaranteed that they'll be clean.

Don't have Chevron gas where I live.
I have heard the opposite about this product and many people that praise it with great results. If you have info on why it doesn't work I would like to read up on it. When you ask why not just buy an OEM set.... as in new injectors that has nothing wrong with them. It makes no sense to buy new when things are made out there for maintenance purpose. And their not cheap compared to a $6 bottle of cleaner. You just have to make sure your getting the right one and not mess it up.

I don't know... I just don't see how a liquid coud break down carbon deposits. I figured some kind of scrubbing would have to be involved.
I could be wrong though.
