I bought a case of this fuel injector cleaner (Chevron) for my old Camry. I have been using this on my old Toyota Camry and see some improvements. Is it safe to use it on our E60?

Chevron makes good fuel system cleaners. I've been using Techron for years in various BMWs. I would imagine this product is similar.

I run some techron thru about every 3K or so. Probably not necessary using top tier gas, just a little extra piece of mind.

I use the Techron since my SA pointed out it's the same as what BMW sells at the dealersip for about 1/2 the price. I imagine the other is good as well.
