- Use Techron by Chevron every 4,000 miles. One 20 ounce bottle of Techron will help keep some of the buildup and deposits from becoming heavier than without Techron. Using this does not mean you will not have to have a fuel induction cleaning done by a professional service; it just means that the cleaning will be able to get what is left much easier.

What happens when the professional runs a clean on the fuel induction system of your vehicle it cleans the complete system including; injectors, injector nozzles, screens, hoses, and regulator.
It is cheaper to do proper maintenance of your fuel system than having to replace injectors or other parts which is why when you do a fuel induction clean it should be done by a professional.
Do not trust the cleaning solutions you find in the auto parts stores other than the Techron and that is simply a measure to help reduce the buildup in between professional cleaning.
A word of caution on cleaning fuel systems; do not trust places that offer quick lubes. Go to an actual fuel induction service in order to get the real cleaning done.
