Before we know when it is the best time to put a fuel injector cleaner in a car, we must first know what a fuel injector cleaner is. A fuel injector cleaner is a chemical additive used to clean and maintain fuel injectors in the car’s engine, preventing deposits from affecting performance and causing issues like reduced fuel efficiency. It contains detergents and solvents to dissolve and remove deposits, improving the spray pattern and restoring proper fuel flow. But when is it the right time to put a fuel injector cleaner? We will be looking at it in this short blog.
When you observe signs of low fuel efficiency, rough idling, or lowered engine performance, it is advised to use a fuel injector cleaner in your car. A fuel injector cleaning should also be used as part of routine vehicle maintenance, often every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or as instructed by the manufacturer of your car. When you use the cleaner correctly by adhering to the instructions on the cleaner’s container, you will get the best results. You can take a look at the fuel additives available on our online store.
