Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Sep 13, 2009 9:28 am) I have read that with today's injector-cleaning gasolines, a separate injector cleaning service is not required, and can actually damage the car e.g. O2 sensors. I used to use fuel injector cleaner but stopped when I heard that. I've never had any problems with injectors in over 20 years of owning fuel-injected cars.
#855 of 858 Didn't know that about the fuel injector... by iluvmysephia1 Sep 14, 2009 (9:43 am)
service, backy. I may ask at the Mitsu dealer tomorrow when we go in for the Auto Butler paint protectant service what they have to say about the need for fuel injector cleaning services overall. Sounds like maybe I won't want to pay for a needless (and possibly damaging to the O2 sensor)cost to what will probably cost us hundreds of dollars, anyway, 45,000 mile service. The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS 2.0L 4-cyl. motor does have a timing chain, and the manual has words to the effect that this timing chain setup "should last for your engine's lifetime".
#856 of 858 Still going strong.. no problems whatsoever... by csandste Dec 07, 2009 (10:34 pm)
Wife doesn't drive much, somewhere around the mid eighteens after almost three years. I put a lot more mileage on my Maxx in the first year.   Anyway no problems what so ever... nothing, nada.   Three months without any action on this board is a long time. I guess no one is having problems or we'd get something. Still mad about the drive by posters who ruined the reputation of the 07 Optima. Obviously made up problems.

Replying to: csandste (Dec 07, 2009 10:34 pm) It's amazing that people can write anything they want without considering whether it's factual or not. I can imagine those faux stories don't help the resale values of those Optimas out there. I talked to my KIA service managers and they have had not a single instance of any chronic problems with these cars.I know these people and they are honest.My KIA is now at 36,000 miles and no problems.Just routine maintenance.
