Is this service necessary? I just had my 60k big service done. The guy at honda told me a I needed this done. I know these guys are full of crap most of the time. My car runs great.

Thanks

 

nope. full o crap

 

What's fuel induction? Do you mean fuel injection? Yeah, I get that too, "you need to get your fuel injectors cleaned". I think as long as I'm using 91 octane there shouldn't be any problems.

I personally don't follow the dealers advice for scheduled maintenance; I follow whatever it says in the manual. I don't see Fuel Injection service in the manual.

 

When its time for that, I use some seafoam through the vacuum line.. that plus Lube control FP60 =

 

Chevron Techron Complete Fuel System Cleaner once every other year just before smoke check.

 

You are the second person to post this up in the last couple of weeks. I wonder if Honda dealers across the land got some memo that this was another way to increase revenue. (Or was it you who posted this up last time?)
If you do routine fuel injector cleaner to the gas at the same intervals that you do oil changes, there is absolutely NO need to pay your dealer to have this done. Heck, cars that don't get regular injector cleaner, don't need this. Only if you are experiencing injector issues, would you even consider it. And if that were the case where your injectors needed cleaning out, you can have a pressurized can of cleaner screwed into your fuel rail that will do this better than any "induction cleaning" and that would only cost you about $50.00.
Any intake manifold will look cruddy if you take the intake plumbing off the throttle body and take a peek in. It will look like this one week after you get the car and will look not too differently after 100,000 miles. It's just oil and gas residue and with today's "clean" gas, this buildup should never get bad enough to warranty this kind of procedure.
However if it will make you feel better to throw a bag of money to your dealer, then by all means, don't let logic change your mind. I'm sure that by doing this, your dealer will keep in you "good will" for that next time when something really goes wrong.

 

lol....I ain't throwing them a bag of money, that's for sure. I called BS on this one when they called me and told me I needed this done. Thank you all for your replies.
