So I do this as preventative maintence, BG44K avery 7,000. and maybe 2 bottles of SL1 in between. Of course 93 octane.

The car is in good hands now instead of some abusive pricK, that is not able/want to service the car, with 70K on the clock, I cant afford a new motor at the current time, so I am careful period.

Hi,

It's good to see you taking such care of the Car. But, You can't make up for past sins - you're Overmedicating.

Just do the Oil Changes at 7500 - 10K mi., use good Fuel, stay on the Maintenence Schedule, and add a Fuel System Cleaner once a year. Your Car will love you for it...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Your probably right Jim, good to see you over on this board, as well as F-6.

Hi Jim:

Do you still stand by your earlier recommendation to use 6 ounce of Toluene per fill-up??

Hi,

Using 6oz. of Toluene to a Full tank amounts to only a 0.27% concentration, waay less than is typically found in many (possibly most) Premium Gasolines (usually 5 -10%, but as high as 25% in some Racing Fuels). It can dramatically reduce or eliminate the need to use a dedicated Fuel Cleaner.

My recommendation was more as an alternative to the Branded Cleaners which have much more potent cleaners, but which cost in excess of $80/gal. Chronic use of these, in the concentrations recommended, can have a detrimental effect over time, whereas Toluene will not. Dedicated Fuel Cleaners should not be used as a preventative measure (if there's nothing to clean, they really perform no function), only when there's something to actually clean out of the Engine, as indicated by a drop in Performance or MPG or annually as there's sure to be some Varnish and Wax/Gum in the system. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
