watjekouw Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Every now and then I use a fueladdition. According to the manufacturer it will keep everything in the fuelsystem clean, such as the injectors. However, I've got the feeling that I pay always $8 for 250 ml of worthless kerosene. Can anyone comment upon this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhaussler Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I have allwasy used techron every other oli change(6,000 miles) In my GM car, which have terrible injectors, I have had no trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddcomp Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 one word... seafoam it works well and i think its cheaper also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watjekouw Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 Seafoam? By the way, Andyhausller, it strikes me that Subs in the US need an engine-oilchange every 3000 miles, while in Europe that is every 8000 miles. Why is that, you think, ****ty oil in the States? I don't believe that the technical specs of American and European Subs differ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhaussler Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 no clue, although i do know there is big push to stretch the oil changes out...saves the environment and oil...volvo just put out a car that needs an oil change every 30,000, pretty crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 RedeX fuel products are the first I have come across that offer a noticeable difference before and after. "And it really, really, works!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Clark Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Most gasolines have cleaning additives in them. I don't use cleaners at all, and my MPG rating has surprisingly gone from about 25 mpg when I bought the car in 1999 to about 25 mpg now.

JaapH Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Watjekouw If you are talking about specs of the engine, there is no real difference between the US and EU. However when it comes to fenders, body parts, drive train, brakes, mirrors, lights, towinglimits etc., you will find a lot. I know, for I have an US built Outback and I drive were you live: in the Netherlands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watjekouw Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 Jaap, it still looks like an EU Outback, won't it? Are there specialities I must know of to impress my girlfriend? (Please don't tell my wife, she has taken up the art of KungFu). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockinroller Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I can't find seafoam or redex products on the shelves of any of my local autoparts stores. Any reason they wouldn't be carried here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
