Ive read both good and bad reviews on additives. I guess to me it would depend on the year of the car. As long as you use good gas I wouldnt worry about it. If it makes you feel better to pay the $7 for a bottle every few months then do it.

One or the other; not both. You can get the Techron 1/2 price when it goes on sale.

Does that mean it does not work?

How do you clean your injectors?

I put 171796 miles on my previous 06 G35 and now have over 50k miles on my current G37S

Never had a problem with injectors nor do I use any additives
