Injector cleaning at 30k miles?

[Yukon not UConn]

Is this even close to necessary at this point?

Dealer recommended it during an oil change/tire rotation today.

Not unless you’re having symptoms, such as rough idle, hard starting, etc.

And if you do, buy a couple of bottles of Techron and clean them yourself. I’m not a fan of additives in general, but that stuff is well documented to actually clean fuel systems and injectors. I’ve used it with success to clear sticky injectors.

It’s a frequent upsell item at dealerships. Whether needed or not.

What @Bill 1960 said. I know Techron does work. I also get my fuel at a Chevron and know that the mid range fuel does have that additive in it. I use their mid range for going on 26 years now with no problems.

Yup, stealership up sale.

Throw some Techron in once a month and you'll be fine.

The answer is no. I just turned 104K miles today and never did it. In fact never put in any type of additives in my Hoe. Idles good and runs like the day I bought it back in 2016. I use Mobil 87 fuel 99% of the time.

If the additive people depended on me they would be out of business.

With that said I do hear my service advisor recommending this service to everyone who comes in. Since I take care of him when Christmas comes around he does not harass me to do it. As I recall the dealer charges around 250 bucks to do it.

119k on my 2016 had since new. Never had it done either. Keep good gas in it and go. Its all up sell like others have said.
