Pros & Cons
Pros
Bought a used prius from single owner at 160k miles. Complete tune up (plugs, air filter, clean maf etc. The triton 3v 5. L v8 is an easy replacement on a 97 jeep tj 4.
Bg epr is an outstanding engine flush product! Just like it it cleaned the engine and the oil stayed much cleaned. It works as advertised to keep your engine clean.
This is exciting. Can't wait. Nice surprise so far. When other products claim to work, the bg products actually hold true to that claim when others fail.
Cons
Midas adverts bg on every corner, i bought the can for 17$ which is very expensive (now it costs 12$). Totally awful product. Used a can of this and immediately sunk 2 pistons and required a complete rebuild.
Highlights
Quality
One of the best engine flushes available
Flushed the majority of the carbon deposits and gunk from the enginehighly recommend
Lifters are now dead quiet, acceleration has returned with a vengeance and fuel mileage by the on board computer just hit 27 mpg.
It got a ton of carbon buildup out of the engine and its running like a 100k mile car now
Price
But for 20 dollars this product helped as much as it could im sure.
That’s a huge deal with todays gas prices.
Packaging/appearance
The injector didn't look terrible, but i decided if i could get them cleaner i would give it a shot.
Competitiveness
There are a lot of gimmick products out there, but these bp products are awesome.
I always used synthetic oil - pennzoil platinum or mobil 1 but later i switched to hi mileage synthetic blend and that didn't help.
I had a compression test done in january and cylinder number 5 was the lowest on the compression tests.
Overall will be using this product again if i have similar scenarios with other vehicles
