It's not recommended on any car.

The injector cleaner will basically do nothing.

The oil additive will cause oil starvation and engine damage.

As a general rule, all additives are crap. Water-Wetter and some injector cleaners are the exceptions.

yea, and remember, we burn oil on purpose.
lucas is thick and nasty and probably not that flammable

Which injector cleaners are decent?

I've heard that if you insist on using an injector cleaner, the chevron
is the one to use. Pretty expensive, though.

I used to work at an oil change shop and have seen many vehicles that run Lucas come in. Most of them had a nice thick puddle of it sitting in the head right under the filler cap. It is too thick for most oil pumps to properly cycle through the system, so it just sits there doing nothing.

Yeah, thats pretty much what I'd heard. Its more of a revetative treatment than a fix, though, I think.

i use the lucas power steering additive

the only way i see lucas or other oil additives doing any good are if you are running full premix (have the OMP gone)

The kind that requires you to remove the injectors and place them in a cleaning jig.

Seriously, everyone agees that the Techron cleaners seem to do a good job, though I have not personally tested.
