Fuel Injector Cleaning: Notes
2004 Oldsmobile Bravada RWDSECTION Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2003 Chevrolet Malibu, and 2003 Buick Century. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- GM Top-Engine Cleaner is the only injector cleaning agent recommended. Do NOT use other cleaning agents, as they may contain methanol which can damage fuel system components.
- Under NO circumstances should the top engine cleaner be added to the vehicles fuel tank, as it may damage the fuel pump and other system components.
- Do NOT exceed a 10 percent cleaning solution concentration. Higher concentrations may damage fuel system components. Testing has demonstrated that exceeding the 10 percent cleaning solution concentration does not improve the effectiveness of this procedure.
