Subject: | Maintenance Cleaning of Fuel Injectors |
Models: | 2006 and Prior All General Motors Passenger Cars and Trucks |
This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years and update the name and part number of GM Fuel System Treatment. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-04-051A (Section 06 -- Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is aware that some companies are marketing tools, equipment and programs to support fuel injector cleaning as a preventative
maintenance procedure. General Motors does not endorse, support or acknowledge the
need for fuel injector cleaning as a preventative
maintenance procedure. Fuel injector cleaning is approved only when performed as directed by a published GM driveability or DTC diagnostic service procedure.
Due to variation in fuel quality in different areas of the country, the only preventative
maintenance currently endorsed by GM regarding its gasoline engine fuel systems is the addition of GM Fuel System Treatment PLUS, P/N 88861011
(for U.S. ACDelco®, use P/N 88861013) (in Canada, P/N 88861012), added to a tank of fuel at each oil change. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-06-04-030A for proper cleaning instructions.
