Best fuel additive

I heard it from my grandpa and it just kinda stuck with me.

 

A six pack for the driver of a 2017 crewmax is the best additive. Highly recommend!

 

173,000 miles on mine, so far, without a single drop of fuel additive. Still runs as smooth as on day one.

Over 1/2 a million miles between two daughters’ 2010 Priuses without any additives. We’ve owned both cars since new.

70,000 miles on the wife’s VW. Same.

Too many cars to list that haven’t ever had an additive in the fuel tanks. No issues. No loss of performance, and no appreciable loss of efficiency. Keep clean oil in them and roll.

Id bet we have close to 2,000,000 miles driven in my household, and have had exactly zero engine failures. None.

You don’t need fuel additives. You don’t need oil additives. Regular maintenance.

 

Most additives, if not all, are worthless

maybe the direct injection folks might need it


With that said: I add a bottle of Techron to the tank that I use before the next oil change

why?

dunno


And i use top tier Costco gas

it’s a high volume station so you know the gas is fresh

 

The car care nut has some sound advice on this topic. Refuel from the same station as often as possible and if not that station the same company. Always buy from a station that sells top tier fuel. He goes on to say don't shop for the cheapest gas around town. And if you use the same oil time after time why wouldn't you use the same fuel? No additives are necessary.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1OFV8gpxAxI

 

I agree with the majority of comments. If you’re driving daily, I doubt you’ll see benefits. If I do use a pour in fuel product, it’s BG’s 44k.
I cleaned my throttle plate within days of taking ownership of my 18 SR5. It was filthy, and I’ll continue to do so at least bi annually. A filthy throttle plate/body will cause the learned idle value to change gradually over time. Best to use a mild detergent that evaporates or a product made to clean throttle bodies. Nitrile gloves and elbow grease is my preferred method. Pop n pour products are poorly regulated in the US. Buyer beware is the order of the day.

 

The few throttle bodies I've cleaned, they are very sharp and have so much spring power that they could slice my finger easily. They all appeared dirty, but not where the blade moves. Also the blade is positioned slightly open for the fail safe mode, so engine would still be able to breath and idle. When ECU powers up, it does the throttle check from zero to full throttle, so the blade scrapes the tiny bit that may have been accumulated there between fail safe angle and zero in the previous engine run.

tl;dr: I don't clean them anymore

 

I’ve been using Royal Purple Max Clean. Nothing else I’ve ever used works like this. Check out their reviews
