So I was curious what you guys like in the ways of tune-ups in a bottle? Also how often should and do you use them? Also do you see a difference?

i use seafoam religiously.. :grin:
its good stuff.. im not sure what u mean by B12 chem tool but its good for alot of things.. i put it in my gas tank cause my car sat for 6 months with gas in it :cry: its a good cleaner and cheap too
i also use DEEP CREEP which is seafoam in a spray can thats used like WD40 but i think its better ... great on stuck suspension bolts (when used with torch :twisted: )

i put it in the gas when the car runs rougher than normal (engines goin bad) it burns out any crud u may have gotten from bad gas or if your car has sat a while
i use it on my sled and chainsaws too

I use Chevron Techron Fuel System Concentrate for the fuel system, have also used Seafoam in the gas tank.
Haven't done anything in the intake manifold or engine.
My best cleaner is synthetic oil though!

Fuel injector cleaner can screw your spark plugs. Just do a few WOT runs every now and then and you shouldn't have to worry about fuel injectors, assuming the rest of the fueling system and ECU are functioning correctly.

seafoam definately in the air intake, gas and before changing oil. i also like to add Lucas Heavy Duty Oil stabilizer no more dry starts at oil changes.

60,000miles says we're both right. ;) The Chevron stuff is used by virtually all the LERSOC members, both with NAs, and boosted Subarus.
