MOPAR Upper cylinder cleaner to help prevent predetonation issues

[adamjedgar]

Had this recommended to me the other day, has anyone tried regularly using this stuff. IEven Subaru have a similar product for their engines.

I've found the product on the MOPAR website, but no usage guide...Im suspicious its safe to use regulary? How much and how often should i use?

I periodically use Sea Foam Injector Cleaner and Sea Foam Fuel Treatment. Don't know if it really helps much.

Our 3.6L is not a DI engine. With the multiport FI, you really shouldn’t need this.

All of the DI engines (without port injectors) have carbon issues and many have to have the intake and ports cleaned with walnut or similar when they start having issues. I know on the Gen 2+ Ford Ecoboost motors they’ve added port injectors to prevent this. They just can’t seem to make a decent timing system…….but I digress.

now they’re adding particulate filters to DI engines because there’s much more particulate produced over port injection. There’s always a trade off.

Use good quality fuel and don't drive like a little blue haired granny, then your port injected engine won't carbon up and need cleaning. The occasional Italian tuneup is a better option, cheaper too.

Amsoil has something similar but cheaper. I use it prior to every oil change, be ready to lay a smoke screen like a navy destroyer for a few minutes.

I use either sea foam or latley the Chevron brand. I used it and also the Lukas green


gass treatment .I used it in my old 2012 jeep liberty with the 3.7 and never had injector problems for the 100k I put on her.
