        I like GM cleens or the Mopar Combustion chamber cleaner. (smells the same) I have seen it work before my eyes.

          Wysetech have you used techron? I’m looking for something to add to my fuel or oil sometime drive hybrid Camry but noticed my oil changed are getting a little “dirtier” as I’m getting higher Mileage. I’m not sold on the products or even convinced their good for my vehicle yet so I’m trying to get seasoned advice.

            Techron is an additive that I think most major oil companies add to their gasoline to keep your fuel system and valves clean. By adding it to your fuel I suppose it will make the cleaning action a little more concentrated. To me the very best products that I know of are B.G. chemicals but you would have to search for a shop who sells them and has the equipment to apply them correctly. As far as the engine oil goes if you change your oil as recommended or even a bit sooner than recommended with a good quality synthetic you should be fine. The color of the oil doesn’t always mean you have a dirty engine inside. It means the oil is doing it’s job. Also have the PCV system checked to make sure it’s operating properly. Hybrids sometimes have a problem in that area.

              I use Redline SI-1. It’s great stuff. Has the highest concentration of PEA (polyetheramine) that actually cleans intake valves and combustion chambers. I just ran a tank through my F-150 and I got 1MPG better, but that’s within the noise of any differential from tank to tank. Just my 2 cents.

                I just used the Redline SI-1 in my wifes Kia optima and it seems to work good.
                The Diesel fuel additive is great too.
