Thanks - I am game to try it. I do the 3M complete fuel system tune up yearly, but can't hurt to do this too. I bought 4 bottles to get free shipping (our Enclave is DI also - so that's two RX per vehicle). Thanks for the links.

Did it allow you the coupon 4X in 1 order?  Price did drop $1.20 since I posted, nice!

Thanks for sharing. Think I'll give it a try in a couple of my vehicles.

But, aside from maybe piston tops and possibly injectors, what additional benefit does it pose to a DI system?

*EDIT
Just placed an order. Yup, a buck eighty. But apperently isn't expected to ship for 3 or 4 weeks? O_o

Honestly don't know.  I don't expect it will keep the backside of the valves clean, but someone with a boroscope can verify ;)

I may not run it in the SHO, but I'll give it a try in my other GDI engine.

I was poking around some of their other additives. They've got a suit of goodies. SHOdded, do you have experience with their other products? I see nothing but glowing reviews, notably on bobistheoilguy.

A while ago before i installed my PPE CATTED DP'S purchased about two dozen bottles of stp octane booster on clearance at Target for 1.18 each,learned that the magority of octane boosters have a chemical called MMT IN IT as mostly of us are aware of,the chemical is not compliant with cats and can do more harm then good,during combustion manganese vapor is then deposited in your plugs then in your cats and then could obstruct exhaust flow and impede the ability of the cats to do its job and pass emmissions,would better use the E85 like most of us benefit from.
