Question:

engine additive?

Hi, about those engine additive claim will clean the injectors and stuff, why is it better or necessary to use it when the tank is full? can i use it when it‘s half-full?? thanks!!

Answer:

Well all this is a good marketing ploy. I have found that it does not work either way. Here is why Lets say you have 20 gallons and it says to dump in 1 bottle of 16 ozs That means you dilute it down to mix it in 20 gallons. Not much cleaning can be done with that.
Those big urithane wheels r faster because they generate less friction. i think
the only one i use and recommened it if you going to use any is MARVEL MYSTERY OIL
I use Marvel Mystery also. It seems to work. After all, two of my fathers suburbans passed 350,000 miles, no body left thats why he got rid of them. And one Buick Electra 225(1973 with 455) had just under 500,000 when he got rid of it, again no body. Maintenance is the best policy. Every 2000-2500 miles those oil changes happened. I have taken the same approach as my dad, I use a quart of Marvel in the oil and half quart per fill up in gas. My wife and I have a 1996 S-10 bought new and now has 230,000, runs perfect, a 2000 S-10 Blazer with not enough miles to count at 77,000 and a 2001 Cavalier 2.4L with 140,000 HARD miles and runs like new. I had fuel indication problems in the blazer and cav once. I put half a quart of Jet-A with prist in each car, after about 3 days the fuel indications started working again. The cavs was 4 years ago and the Blazer was 1.5 yeas ago.
