Well guys, I know lots of you have higher-mileage engines, and I thought yall might like to know abt this... I have about 26k miles on my Highlander, and change the oil every 2.5-3k miles... two days ago I added Valvoline Synpower Complete Fuel Cleaning System or something like that into my gas tank and

it actually makes a difference! Car idles smoother, takes off much smoother, etc... def worth the few bucks!

never done anything like that to my machine.. maybe i should. Does it work for all makes and models?

Wren57 · 01-12-2003, 10:40 PM

Yup, sure does. Recommended every 12k miles... oops, I missed last time

01-12-2003, 10:41 PM

lol i'm at 50k so i've missed a few, but its been into the dealership for everythign.. you figure they've taken car of it at their end?

Wren57 · 01-12-2003, 10:43 PM

Well this cleans out the injectors and carbon build up on valves etc... I doubt theyve done anything about this...

Not unless you had them specifically clean the fuel system.

Yup... I do that too. I think it does the job!

I usually use the STP fuel system cleaner, along with oil system cleaner before every oil change. basic car maintenance!

I just bought some prestone fuel cleaner, we'll see how it works.

i just poured a bootle of lucas oil engine and fuel system cleaner in my tank. i can really feel the difference in only 9 miles. the best test was going uphill on a 45 degree incline and on top i already hit 60. before on top i could hit only 40-45mph.

I used to use Techron stuff every 3k, but I've been slacking. I'm thinking about taking the car in to Honda to get a full fuel system cleanout. Afterall, I have over 100k on this engine now.
