That’s good to know! I’ve heard that a stronger solution is sometimes needed for older engines that have more build-up.
Absolutely! Also, make sure to run the engine after applying the cleaner to allow it to circulate fully through the injectors.
Can you use it in any diesel engine? I have a smaller pickup truck and I want to make sure it’s safe for my vehicle.
Yes, ACDelco Diesel Injector Cleaner is generally safe for all diesel engines, but it’s always good to check compatibility with your specific model.
For best results, I suggest cleaning the injectors when you’re around half a tank of fuel. It helps with the complete mixture and effectiveness!
That’s smart! I usually fill up completely but never thought about that approach.
I’ve read that adding the cleaner before a long trip can maximize its benefits since the engine will really work it through the system.
That’s a great tip! I usually forget to do that during my busy schedule.
Is it necessary to use it frequently, or just as needed? I don’t want to overdo it and harm my engine.
It’s generally suggested to use it every few thousand miles, but it depends on your fuel quality and driving conditions.
So, it’s a good maintenance product rather than a corrective one? That’s helpful to clarify!

Exactly! You want to prevent issues, not just fix them. But don’t be afraid to use it when you feel performance is dipping.
Why does it smell weird? I swear it stinks like something died when I use it! Anyone else notice that?
Haha! I thought it was just me! Must just be part of its magic formula for cleaning, I guess!
I’ve been looking into ACDelco Diesel Injector Cleaner too. How does it compare to brands like Stanadyne or Lucas?

Honestly, I’ve used ACDelco and found it really effective at cleaning injectors compared to others. The price is pretty competitive, too.

I’ve tried a few brands, but ACDelco stands out for ease of use. Just pour it in the tank and you’re good to go!
That simplicity is definitely a plus! What about its effectiveness compared to competitors, like the one from Power Service?
In my experience, ACDelco is quite effective. However, I feel Power Service may have a slight edge in cleaning power.
