we will see how clear and concise here shortly.

He must have read the thread for the last video and stuck to something less controversial this time

not on techron, but PEA. I use STP, as it's the most available locally. I can stretch 1 bottle to 10 fill-ups and equal our best additised pump fuel.

7 minutes and 20 second Video, guess since nobody has posted a Cliff Notes Version, I will watch it. He had another Fuel Video awhile back that was 15 minutes long. It would be nice if LSJr could make his videos where he is only talking between 3 and 5 minutes long.

Soooo, Where does that leave those of us with direct injected engines?
We've already determined that fuel doesn't get to the intake valves, right?

So is there a problem that top tier fuel will fix (or even the bottle of additive)?
And if so, how does top tier fuel get additives get to those intake valves?

Fair enough - and succinct as well …

So, you are saying that oil dilution causes intake valve deposits?

Keeps injectors & combustion cleaner burning?

No, you watch the video?

But the video is talking about intake valve deposits.
I'm wondering how how fuel additives get to that portion of the engine if it's direct injected.

yes

That was the evolution of Top Tier - the dilution comment was related to poor injection patterns causing fuel wash …

Oh, I see. so no impact on those intake valves in DI engines.
Seems like half the "value" of this additive just dissapeared.

If it's keeping the injectors cleaner it is going to provide better/cleaner combustion & the valves will reap those rewards by staying cleaner. In short... use Top Tier even in your DI.

Yes, little value there …
I have owned GDI’s over a decade and up to 137k without cleaning valves.
I have cured rough idle several times with PEA and to me it’s worth grabbing on sale and using before an oil change …
My Jeep is port injection - so likely gets more from it …

Good video. Mainly a review of the famous AAA top tier report but I did learn something. Top Tier+ is coming out this year with even higher detergent levels. Looking forward to that.

Top Tier"+"
Is that + the higher premium octane fuels like 93? I've seen some stations advertise more additives in the more premium octanes.
