Dealer just offered to do injectors cleaning, as recommended preventive maintenance is it worth the money?

jcbaxter1975 · 05-10-2019, 12:49 PM

I think they are fishing for extra income! In my opinion not worth spending the money on it.

Yup, pass on that $225.

Dump a bottle of Techron in the gas tank every 3-4 months and car should be fine long term.

Yes stick with top tier it has detergents that already clean the injectors in the 91 octane. Injector cleaning isn't part of factory recommended maintenance. My dealer constantly tells me to do alignment which isn't factory recommended either. Just a way for them to fill their coffers.

No. It's not worth a dime.
You don't need to do it, ever.

No dice. Open the maintenance booklet and follow what you see there😁.

I've been following the maintenance book since my first car. 1st car 180k miles, 2nd car 210k miles, and this BMW is currently at 27k miles and counting.

I do inspect items/parts that are prone to wear.
