Topshelf Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Hey guys, I just got a flyer in the mail today from STS and on it there is a coupon for a 4 step Run-Rite Fuel System Cleaning Service. I'm about to leave on a 2500 mile round trip and thought that this might be a good idea to help with fuel economy. I think I've seen this service being talked about on an episode of Motorweek a month or so ago too. I have 80k on the RX300 right now, so I'm assuming there has to be some buildup by now. It's a $60 treatment. So I was just wondering if anyone has any good or bad info about such a service? I don't usually like to do anything major just before a trip, and I do consider shooting chemicals into my intake major. So any info on this? Here's the website for the product. Run-Rite
SKperformance Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 I have used run rite on my LS and it works good , it did not make a major impact for me as i run sea foam at each oil change. ON another car that is not decarboned as ofter it should be much more of an impact.
Grumpa72 Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 No history with your product but my favorite is Chevron Fuel Additive with Techron Concentrate; I have used it and read good reports about it. I run it through my car twice a year. Advance Auto, Auto Zone, etc carry it. Gary
Topshelf Posted August 30, 2007 Author Posted August 30, 2007 Thanks guys. I did a bunch of research and it seems to be a good product. Like SK said, on a car that doesn't get any kind of regular cleaning, it seems to be more effective, but lots of people are even recommending a cleaning like this every 15k miles or once a year now as part of normal maintenance. I'm at 80k so I'm sure there has to be some kind of buildup in there, even if it's small. But I think I'm going to wait until I get back from the trip to do it. I'd just hate to take a chance on something going wrong right before I leave. But I'm sure a nice long 2500 mile drive would be a great way to clean that system out. I'm not a regular poster, but after I get it done I'll post my results just in case anyone else is interested.
SKperformance Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Nothing will go wrong by using it .I would do it before to increase your mileage and reprogram your car to the new changes by a long drive.
