Any Infiniti Techs have feedback on decarbonizing service? Is it worth the cost for the routine service? Is it just a bottle of Seafoam?

 

Seafoam and let it sit as long as you can. 1 can of bg44k in gas and you're set

 

Can you Pls clarify what the decarbonizing service is intended to correct?
It sounds like carbon build up to me, and I suspect that it is something b/c carbon build-up normally impacts engines with direct injection. I understand that our G-37 have port injection, which is not prone to carbon build up.

 

It was a recommendation from Infiniti based on the cars time/mileage and known history. Pricey at 289.95 and a can of Seafoam can do same thing. Wanted to receive an actual Infiniti Technician opinion on the difference.

 

Infiniti also wants a fuel injection service at 289.95

 

Sounds scammy to me.

 

No clear that there is a problem, or what the dealer rep is trying to do

To keep fuel system and valves clean, I buy a case of Chevron Techron when on sale at Costco once a year. Then add a bottle every other tank full until I run out.

During that time, I use fuel with highest octane I can find and drive the car easy to avoid knocking.

Never had had any issues with any of our cars.

 

grubbs used to use bg machine that mixed 2 cans of cleaner into the fuel line and 1 can poured into tank, they stopped using it bc they had some issues with the fuel lines

 

Update: Took it to different Infiniti Dealership and they charge $289 for both de-carbonizing and fuel injection service. The kit includes 3 different cleaners. Two cleaners they just pour and let run through the throttle body and etc. The third cleaner they pour into engine but extract with a machine. Hope this info helps.
