Now that my 745 turbo is back on the road, and running fine, I am tempted to run a bottle of Redline SI-1 through the fuel system to clean up the injectors. However there are reservations. First, if it is running fine, why do it? Second, one of my injected cars, I don't remember which, seems to dislike SI-1. And, we always use good quality gas in the car, either BP/Amoco premium or Sunoco premium, thus it should be getting a good detergent package in the gas. So this leaves me wondering if it would be worth running a bottle of SI-1 through just to clean up the injectors and whatever else it would clean up.

According to the Owner's Manual, Volvo frowns on such additives unless specifically recommended by the dealer for a specific reason.
