GM Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner

Post by zoomie »

This stuffs not as simple as adding to your gas tank and Ive personally never used it. Are ZZ or ZR engines rail fuel injection systems? IF so, does anyone use this treatment?

don't use ANY type of injector cleaner other then the small bottle of Chevron techtroline on the Vibe/Matrix. The harsher stuff will melt out injector tips!!!

Why are you doing this to an 09? It doesn't seem necessary.
