Walmart has these little bottles of fuel system or fuel injection cleaners by Supertech/Super Tech for about a $1 or $2 depending on which. 1 bottle treats 21 gallons or so. Worked for me.

If you have an L59 VIN Z motor, there's something better if available in your area, E85!

This stuff is so good, it's in most of our owner's manuals:

I've used the Techron Fuel System Cleaner (not the Injector Cleaner) and BG44K (~$28); both have worked good for me.

I might run a couple of bottles (in a full tank) of the Techron stuff from time to time, and the BG44K if I think it needs something a bit stronger. Just my opinion. Of course, I am usually running some E85 so haven't had to run any cleaner for a long time.

Chevron techron I think auto zone still has buy one get one free


Don't use seafoam that is for 2 stroke engines
it will wreak your catalytic converter



P.E.A cleaner such as Techron or gumout with P.E.A

P.E.A is for 4 stroke engines and is catalytic converter safe..

I just use Mobil or Chevron 91 octane for best Tahoe performance & MPG every fill up

0205A925-8C56-4C7D-BD05-E07448435ADE.jpeg I’ve used just about everything and Royal Purple Max Clean has worked the best for me. I even use it in all my yard equipment, even the 2 stroke. Can usually find it at Walmart for under $14.00. I think a can treats 20 gallons.
