We’ve already covered topics such as “do fuel injector cleaners work?” and “what are the symptoms of clogged injectors”, so this time we’ll simply take a quick look at what are all the fuel injector cleaner benefits that we can expect from using these products.Now, different products will have somewhat different effects. Some focus more on cleaning, while others double down on the maintenance or performance increase aspects. But focus differences aside, they all aim to provide the same benefits.
Which are:
- Cleaning the fuel injector nozzles and the combustion chamber, as well as the entire fuel system from carbon deposits
- Lubricating the fuel system and the engine, from the cylinder walls and rings to intake valves, pumps and carburetors, to ensure further carbon buildup is reduced and the friction between various engine components is kept to a minimum
- Increasing fuel cetane numbers, ensuring a more efficient fuel burn and thus better fuel mileage and a smoother ride
What are the benefits of fuel injector cleaners?
- Restoring throttle response
- Eliminating black smoke
- Improving cold starting
- Removing engine knocking (misfires) and pinging
- Removing engine stutter, hesitation, stumbling
- Protecting the engine from corrosion
- Improving emissions values
- Neutralizing low sulfur fuel problems
Combining all these effects, the different engine components and the engine as a whole will have a notably longer life span, lower maintenance cost and less overall headache for the end user. There’s less worry you’ll be stuck roadside or with a car that wont start in the morning. And when you take your car to the shop, there’s a much lower chance you’ll have to empty your wallet to replace parts or purchase expensive maintenance services.

I also commend Wyn’s injector cleaner.I wasted a lot of money to different mechanic who claimed that they are specialists.I was advised by my nephew to try this product.Now drive my car to any place with confidence,after using the injected cleaner.
I use Lucas in every vehicle I own. From my diesel motor home,diesel Mercedes,Ford super duty,new Rubicon,& wife’s Smartcar. Each one shows an increase in mpg when used. The crappier the fuel the more it helps. No, it does not perform miricales,but does add 5-15% to mpg. In wife’s car that recommends premium, with Lucas it performs great on regular. If not on a super hot day it runs sluggish on regular.Also , my diesel m/h is quieter with Lucas. It works period,& pays for itself.
