Fuel Inject Cleaner.

I’m looking for some advise regarding the use of Fuel inject cleaner.
I’m driving a 2014 Tundra 5.7L and is 104 200 miles on it.
Do you think it’s safe ? if yes, what brand would you suggest.

 

I throw a bottle of Chevron's fuel system cleaner every 5k miles in my Tundra

 

Same here except every oil change along with some seafoam.

 

X2 on the seafoam we use it on all of our service trucks

 

Seafoam every oil change! Works great. Worth every penny.

 

Bg 44k for me

 

Thank you guys for your help!

 

I use this every time i gas up, does it do anything? Will i continue to use it not knowing if I'm just wasting my money or not? .....of course i will.

 

I do BG Additive every oil change

 

Back before cleaner was added to fuel Chevron Techron was the only thing that kept my early 80's BMW's running. I tried an STP fuel treatment back then fouled an oxygen sensor upon startup. They say you can't clean an oxygen sensor. THEY would be wrong.

 

Seafoam is great stuff. I used Chevron Techron for years but went to Seafoam sometime around 90 and haven't looked back. Both are great products.

 

If all of the carbon deposits and everything is cleaned and ejected through the exhaust wouldn’t it gum up the catalytic converters? I don’t see anything recommended by Toyota in the service manual in regards to fuel injectors or top end cleaning. They did recommend top end cleaning with GM fluids for the 2nd gen Lexus GS but nothing for the Tundra.

 

It's been my experience, with a few exceptions, the car manufacturers are reticent to admit their product needs additional maintenance to keep running well. That being said, if you have a partially fouled injector issue most dealers will run a professional product, 3M used to make a good one, to clean your injectors. This is costly and I think with today's fuels your vehicle probably doesn't need any treatment of any kind unless it's driven short distances and never warms up. I've run fuel either Seafoam or Techron for 35 years in a variety of fuel injected engines, both mechanical and electronic injection and have never had a problem with a cat. Catalytic Converters run extremely hot and tend to burn off the residues. Interestingly, I've replaced about every major component on a vehicle at some time or another and have never replaced a cat. I run Seafoam in my Tundra because it tends to make a lot of short trips to town and rarely gets out and opens up the injectors.

 

I buy one small bottle of Lucas and a huge bottle for refills from Walmart
