Question:

What engine & fuel system additives & care care products are necessary and actually work?

I don‘t think I‘ve ever experienced as much confusion as when looking at the chemical isle care care isle of an auto parts store. A multitude of brands and various similar products within each brand. What‘s actually a worthwhile purchase?Fuel system cleaner or fuel injector cleaner? Oil additive to reduce friction (what kind?)?I currently have a 2000 Echo that is driven fairly infrequently. I put Sta-Bil in the tank with every fill-up (like once or twice a year!). I‘ve put Chevron fuel system cleaner in the tank once or twice. I use a basic Meguiars car wash liquid and then their Gold Class Liquid Wax. Because I drive very little and have the car covered up most of the time I only washwax like once or twice a year. The paint‘s still very glossy and no oxidation or fading is obvious.Is there anything else I could and should do?

Answer:

i use carb cleaner( 60's car), and i use gas treatment at each fill up.
I think you're doing all the right things, except the Chevon fuel system cleaner is probably a waste of money. Most fuel additives are not needed, but Sta-Bil has proven effective in long storage situations.
