i tried the chevron stuff...i forget which one exactly...i think it helps a lot...could be unrelated...but my steering wheel doesn't shake at all now...before it shook like mad, like typical honda style...and the stuff's only a few bucks anyway...just don't put it in a full tank...i'd say 1/4 tank and then put it in and then fill it up...cuz then it'll mix a lot better

i use BG44k like once or twice a year. it depends on my mileage. i do it when it suffers. just be ready to fork out $22 for a 12oz can of this stuff.

I use Chevron with Techron, or Redline.

BG 44k is good stuff, but very strong. Its not something that I would use more than 1x a year.

it does work! i had trouble finding a distributor, so i ended up calling the manufacturer and the lady called me back with locations nearby.

mr. hyde... YES it is very strong stuff. i used it twice when i bought the car. 1st time when i bought it cuz i didn't know how it was, and then the second time 6 months later. now the mpg is pretty good. i plan to do it again if mileage really suffers regardless of plugs or air filter.
