hey guys what kind of fuel injector cleaner should i buy STP? the one from Chevron or the MOBILE one?
Any of those would work fine.
For an 09 I would say none, unless you have been fueling at... moe's milk and gas.

Gumout and Lucas make the 2 best rated fuel system/injector cleaners. I've used both and i like them equally

In the manual, it said, DO NOT use fuel injector cleaners.

I've used Mobil 1 (tiny black bottle) every 10k miles and I've had no problems with anything..... Going to use it this weekend again and this will be my 5th use (50k miles!!!)

That's what I was going to add - why do they say that then?

Probably suggest using stuff that they sell at the dealer for 5x more than other stuff in your local auto parts store.
Honestly... don't know. I don't see why not. It's like gasoline with additives. I can't see it harming the engine.

+1 for Lucus...I just used it recently myself. I did watch a program about the additives in gas and basically they said for every year you fill your tank that if you were to add 1 fuel additive from an auto parts store it would equal out to buying the big names gas with there "special" additive.

Is it really necessary when you're using prem fuel?
I do it at every oil change just for peace of mind.

Prem fuel still can leave injectors and other fuel system parts dirty even though the octane is higher and its a better fuel

we use a nice kit from BG fluids here at the dealership and have a lot of good luck running their products all around.
I think that's the stuff Aaron had when the dealership used this stuff instead of the the specific nissan fluid....he had to go back and switch it out to get the right stuff.
