[Shop-talk] Fuel Injector Cleaners

[John T. Blair]

Hey gang,

I went to get my car, a '06 Scion xB /w 54,000 mi, state inspected on 
Sat.  When it was done, they suggested that I have the fuel injectors 
"cleaned".
Only $150!

My question to the group, is do you all have this done?  All I've seen on
shows like 60 min, is that the shops were telling people to have it done, and
then charging the customer, but not doing the work.

Are any of the in the bottle cleaners any good?

Is this a good as the "shop cleaning"?  I assume that they don't take 
the injectors off the engine, so really all they're doing is pumping 
a chemical through the system.  Maybe a little better than mixing 
with the fuel and
running it through the system.

If you recommend a cleaner in the bottle, which ones and how often?

Or is all this really snake oil?

TIA

John
