Valvoline synPower FI cleaner any good?

[Russell]

Is Valvoline synPower "super concentrated" Fuel Injector and intake cleaner any good?

I have what i believe is a fuel injector tick. I hope this cleans it up. I tried Techron a fe weeks ago. TIA

I recall looking at a bottle of the Valvoline FI cleaner and there was an interesting ingredient listed on the back. They have another product, synpower fuel system cleaner that doesn't list it. See if yours has it listed and post it here. I would like to find out what some of the site experts say about it.

Not sure what you mean. There are several ingredients listed. I think I need a hint.

Unfortunately I don't remember but it was a fancy sounding ingredient, not the petroleum distilates. Maybe it was something like poly amine whoknowswhat. I posted it once here and can't find it now, but it sure sounded impressive compared to many fuel system adds.

Poly amine esther?
That makes it a modern type of fuel system cleaner. [not just an old fashioned solvent]
You could also try some Marvel Mystery Oil in the fuel for a little cleaning and some decent lubrication. It's cheap and may do the trick.

Polyolefin Phenolic Amine?

Thanks Russell. Now will one of our site experts please tell us what in the world this chemical is and whether it is meaningful in a fuel injector cleaner?

BTW Russell, did it tell how much of that component?

Anyone know why they would call it fuel injector cleaner, as if it would only clean the FIs and not other parts of the fuel system?
