Healthy Engines: Are New Technologies Really Helping?

Synthetic oils and fuel-injector cleaners may cost a bit more than their traditional counterparts, but they offer some great benefits for the extra bucks spent on them.

Unlike conventional oils, synthetics can scoop up deposits and reduce engine sludge, leading to improved fuel efficiency and better resistance to extreme temperatures. This decreases the need for frequent oil changes and can increase your engine’s longevity.

To keep an engine running smoothly, the fuel injector must be kept clean and unblocked by any contaminants. Fuel-injector cleaners aim to eliminate contaminant deposits that block the intensity of the fuel injector’s flow.
