Fuel additives question

[Johnny-R]

People i want to clean the complete fuel system with this treatments but i don't know when in their site says every oil change OK! but when ? Before or after the oil change? I read in the instructions to fill my car with BP Ultimate 100 or Shell V-Power Racing 99+ and fill this too to the tank!

used pretty much all of them available mate,
redex one's as well.

didn't notice a single thing.... i would persoanlly say they are made for car's that are really clogged up i didn't notice anything apart from a smell when the engine got hot..

only one i found that did anything was the Octane booster's... made by NOS i used one once on my starlet and it was great fun, don't know how safe it is to use though.

The only thing i used is from NoS the octane booster it was good for a normal car and with a car with a remaped ECU also good but i want to use the complete fuel system cleaner to see any difference...

I do not use fuel additives.

Correction; I have used ZMAX in the past, http://www.zmax.com/

Used both the fuel and oil additive, the engine ran smoother and throttle response was a tad better. This was with a SOHC d16y8 engine tho. I would consider using it again.

I remember reading before that they weren't recommended for honda engines.

 

[Johnny-R]

Never heard anything about not to use it in Honda engines. I don't believe they harm the engines they even use it in Wankel Rotor engines which are sensitive. The point is if they do good to the lost performance from the lot of milage on an engine...

If Tatsuru Ichishima says don't use engine flush then don't use it

Before an oil change, take your car out for a drive, get it hot, then while the engine is hot, change the oil. Use a drain plug magnet, or an oil filter magnet.

One way to stop your intake from gunking would be to use a breather can, instead of running oil vapors through your intake like its set up from the factory.

an oil filter magnet like this one
CarWorks - Performance Software & Hardware - FilterMag
it's a good idea !

Thank you Tama666 and abunai888 i will use an oil filter magnet in the next change and i ordered the magnetic drain bolts from j's racing to fit them next time i hope they will work good.
