i have a 1996 camaro z28 with lt1 . my check engine light came on . i had it checked on cp . code was for multi cylinder misfire . mechanic said it could be from bad gas . suggested lucas fuel injector cleaner . what do you think is the best fuel injector cleaner and oil additive . thanks jay

 

Clear the code and see if it returns. An occasional misfire code is not unusual. If it happens frequently and you feel a miss, you likely need a tune-up (plugs and wires, at least). Additives aren't good for much, IMHO.

 

Alot of the corvette guys use that stuff called techron. But how old is the gas in your car?

 

as long as you use a quality oil, ie. Valvoline, Mobil 1, etc you won't need an oil additive, if you're still getting a miss, shoebox is right, a tune up is your next step

 

X2 what Shoebox & Maverick said. I use only one additive & that's every oil change I use a bottle of RedLine Fuel Injection cleaner in my gastank ~ my 94 Z has over 180,XXX miles & never a problem ~ same is true for both my LT1 vettes ~ 120,XXX on each. Redline used to be recommended by BMW & GM. Also, you may want to make sure you use good gasoline ~ google "Top Tier Gasoline"

 

Oil additives are not recommended.

Fuel injector/valve cleaner on the other hand can help. I used to use a Valvoline fuel cleaner, but can't find it anymore. Now I use Techron. I only use it about twice a year though.

Techron or Seafoam for the gas tank.

 

Seafoam is some nice stuff, works great!
