Thanks

I get it at Pep Boys, and I've seen it at Auto Barn and S&K Speed. Any good-size auto supply store should carry it.

Yeah, regular use of high quality 91 octane or above gasoline is the best way to keep your injectors clean. I use Chevron Supreme every time I fill up. Every 3k miles or so when I add a bottle of Redline Fuel Cleaner or Techron additive I can't tell any difference in the way my car runs. That tells me that everything is a-ok.

The Chevron techron and Redline are good fuel injector cleaners I used on the Maxima. Got good results but don't overuse it like for every 3,000 miles.
