Have you tried this Injector Cleaner?

Whats up guys,

I was wondering if anyone has tried this injector cleaner:

Lubro Moly
Injectron

Says on the can:

Cleans injectors without costly removal. Restores performance and drivability. Reduces exhaust pollution and fuel consumption. Keeps intake valves clean.
Made in Germany.

Was 7.99

I used it and it sounds different. Like its burning better... did that as well as new spark plugs. Much more responsive, and like I said, sounds different too. So anyone else tried it? I never heard of it before I used it.

I've always used Berryman's B12 Chemtool, red/white/blue metal can. Under $3 at most auto part stores. I've been using it for 8 years or so, never had a problem with it and it does a pretty good job.

I used that on my mom's auto transmission and it made a HUGE difference in the way it shifted....

I'm taking my car to the nissan dealer to get that "fuel system service" and I'm going to watch them do it, to see if they just use a product and call it a day...but I've heard good results from it.

Oil, gas tank, or tranny, that B12 stuff is amazing! I've only tried it in the gas tank though.

I use Lucas Oil fuel injector cleaner and Oil stabilizer. Great stuff. The oil stabilizer is so Heavy that it stopped minor oil leak in my old Dodge.

As recommended by my mechanic, i only use LUCAS. They are the best. you do see the results after use. And it does what it promisses to do! A+ line of products. ( And NO, i do not work for Lucas! )

instead of lucas buy yourself 40w50 oil. Just as thick. It will stop it leak too. Too thick haha
Comeone bud if you got a leak fix it don't black small passages with Lucas glue.
Bet when you start that thing in the morning it's a 140W minimum weight Even 140 pours faster than Lucas.
