Zeke zeke Member 792 Member For: 21y 8m 19d Location: Adelaide Posted 07/08/03 03:03 AM Share Posted 07/08/03 03:03 AM Mrs zeke's last car was an ea multipoint. At every service, I was asked if I wanted an injector clean. Always said no.Traded the car at 12 years and 230,000k with the fuel system and motor apparently working perfectly and feeling like it had all it's original power.(head gaskets were another story)So I reckon the go is to be careful where you buy petrol and don't bother with injector cleaning unless there seems to be a problem in that department.regardszeke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maby that's the story?Yes the oil can assist with making more kW, but a V8 Supercar that we sponsor did (and still does) a bunch of testing for us and he found a straight viscosity change was worth maybe 15-20 fwhp. That's OK, but he started with around 600hp.The one major difference it can make is that it makes the engine seem more RESPONSIVE, hence the feeling that there is more GO.
