From what I read,they recommed Chevron,etc... in the States,but they're not available in Canada.
What would be the best brand to use,that is currently available,in Canada?(crappy tire)
What do you think of them?
Thanks.
Emil.

 

Gas all comes from the same place anyway, there are just some additives added by certain companies.

I only fill up with Esso or Shell if I can.

 

I meant,fuel system,and injectors cleaners.
A smal can of juice,that you add to your gas tank,to help clean the system.
like Penzoil,Valvoline,etc...that sells at Crappy tire !!!

 

I think there is more than one refiner in Canada....I imagine that Shell, Esso, and Petro Can have their own refineries...plus back east Irving probably has some capacity as well.

 

I guess what I meant to say is that it's all made the same way... not that it comes from the same place.

 

Oh sorry, I thought you were talking about gas stations.

There isn't anything that needs to be run in this car. Especially stay away from octane boosters...

 

I add a bottle of fuel injector cleaner at the same interval as my oil changes (every 5000 KMs or so). In all honestly, I'm not sure this is really even necessary anymore with todays high quality of gasolines. They all burn pretty clean and don't generally leave deposits over even a long period of time. I suppose I put a bottle in once in a while just "for old time's sake". I know, not real scientific, but history has shown me that no harm has been done to any of my cars in the last 2 decades doing this, so I keep doing it.
I use brand name products like Wynn's, STP, etc. I always read on the label to ensure they are injector safe. Some carb cleaners are not injector safe.
I have found that there are 3 levels of injector cleaner, each one getting more expensive and each one meant for a higher level of cleaning.

The first (and cheapest level) is the kind that we all see on the shelves for a few bucks a bottle. Each bottle treats about 50 to 70 liters of gas. I dump the whole thing in when the tank is about 3/4 full (to concentrate it a bit) and run it till it's nearly to no bars on the gauge. This is what I normally buy and use at oil change time. This is pretty much your most basic kind of injector care.

The 2nd type is a much more concentrated version and is about 3 to 4 times the cost of the first. This is when you suspect diminished performance of your engine is possibly caused by a partially clogged injector. You notice a definite sign of altered performance in the engine. On this car, it would be unlikely that you would need to do this in the first 100,000 KMs.

The 3rd type of cleaner is the kind that the service station or dealer offers you (but you can buy this and do it yourself if you wish). This product comes in a pressurized can, with adapters that you need to screw the can to the fuel rail. With the engine running, you dump the whole can into the engine at a rate that is just about to stall it out (can take up to 1/2 hour to deplete the can). This is a strong cleaner and is done only when the car is definately suffering from plugged injectors. Unless you routinely use a very low grade gas from a village 300 miles from Tuktoyuktuk, you should never need this done.

After these, the only option left is to buy new injectors.

 

Not that I have a problem with the injectors,but only for prevention sake.
Was reading in UTH,and somebody recommended "Chevron"fuel injectors cleaner,as the most efficient,and the safest one,but It's not available in my neck of the woods.
Next time,I'm in Crappy tire,will buy a bottle of Wynns,or something like that.
Thank's.
Emil.

 

Just my 2 cents but I've had good luck with the Amsoil stuff.
