Default nissan fuel injector cleaning question - 09-14-2006 , 10:33 PM






Hi,
I have a 2002 Altima that just had it's 60,000 mile service.
The mechanic recommended cleaning the fuel injectors as preventive
maintenance since Nissans have, in his words, "notorious problems with
injectors getting dirty leading to costly repairs."
I held off on it since I didn't feel like spending the extra $148 that was
his fee for a "MotorVac" injector cleaning until I had a chance to look into
this
a bit.
Are Nissans notorious for getting dirty fuel injectors?

I'm looking for opinions on if I should go ahead and have this done soon.
thanks,
Tom

Do this.. at each oil change, add a bottle of fuel injector cleaner. Make
sure it says complete or concentrate. You'll be fine.
