Yea I read the labels, yellow is meth red is ISO hence the name ISO, but it is labeled as fuel injector cleaner as well. I don't think they would market something that did nothing when they have another bottle already. So far it seems to be doing what it's supposed to, I will most likely switch to the yellow anyway after another bottle of the techron concentrate plus. Btw anyone have the BG injector service done and how much? The Chevy dealer here that does it quoted $210, that seemed rather steep

Airbourne best of my knowledge they are not recommending it anymore,its doing more harm than good and should just avoid it,you can add a can of BG-44K cleaner if you choose.Z

I had the bg service done. IMHO it's not worth it. I had it complete for $106 out the door. So $210 seems steep.

I have a video that I just did to look at the valves at 39,000 just need to upload it.
I had the BG service compete at around 33,000

http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2014/12/induction-service-cleaners-can-damage-ford-ecoboost-engines.html  The result is it could lead to potential damage to the turbo's so if your out of warranty its not a good thing.Z

Yes but you have had it done!? Also there is this, https://www.bgprod.com/bgfueltest/. So they've done it themselves and didn't seem to have any issues, but got results. I think I'm gonna get it done and see if it helps, I have a feeling I was running some really crap gas this past winter. Also the Infiniti dealer said $149 so cheaper than Chevy anyway

Always try to get the yellow bottle that contains methanol,the red bottles has isoprpyl which you dont want.Z

ZSHO -- is this just to boost octane or keep the engine cooler? Inexpensive Meth injection?

Its a little study on removing the excess water inside the tank,also a little boost and cleaner alternative.Z

Airbourne that article fron B.G is from a few years ago,honestly would rely on the updated article which just came out a couple months ago,just trying to look out,no dis intended,BTW never tried it before and another note are you experiencing any symptoms like rough idle,poor mpg and etc,if not dont bother.Z

Can BG guarantee chunks wont come off and scar your pistons and turbos?

I would be wary otherwise....

SHOdded

I wouldn't think so.  There's always variability in substrate structure that would discourage a warranty being provided.  If you liquify everything instantly, could face the danger of hydrolock.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

All that is soot and water from the exhaust .... you might have a rich tune from LMS as most people tune to the rich side to allow for changes in environment

No need to worry
