Nissan says DO NOT use fuel additives.... 99% of them are crap anyway, and the other 1% are also crap.

Maxima.org says hit CAPLOCK before posting.

Yes, that means no injector cleaners

Owner's manual, page 9-3,

Aftermarket fuel additives

NISSAN does not recommend the use of any fuel additives (i.e. fuel
injector cleaner, octane booster, intake valve deposit removers, etc.)
which are sold commercially. Many of these additives intended for gum,
varnish or deposit removal may contain active solvent or similar ingredients
that can be harmful to the fuel system and engine.
