- BG EPR® Engine Performance Restoration® softens, emulsifies, and dissolves even the most stubborn fuel gums that clog piston rings. It cleans micro passageways to maintain the critical hydraulic function of components. It removes carbon deposits, restores compression, lowers tailpipe emissions, and reduces oil consumption by restoring ring function. BG Advanced Formula MOA® protects engine components and fortifies all brands of engine oil. It uses friction modifiers that enhance the fuel economy and fuel economy retention properties of engine oils. It controls the formation of sludge and varnish and retains performance throughout the service interval. BG Advanced Formula MOA® keeps piston rings from sticking, stabilizes oil viscosity, prevents increased exhaust emissions, reduces wear, prevents sludge and varnish, and is resistant to evaporative oil loss.
- 2 PART SERVICE INCLUDES: -BG Platinum® 44K® cleans the entire fuel system, including fuel injectors, fuel filters, and combustion chambers. Because it provides efficient removal of upper engine deposits, BG Platinum® 44K® reduces problems caused by deposit buildup such as engine surge, misfire, stumble, hesitation and power loss. BG Platinum® 44K® provides quick cleanup of coked fuel injectors and corrosive deposits on the Fuel Sending Unit. It restores power output, engine performance, reduces engine knock or run-on tendencies, improves combustion performance, removes accumulated deposits from oxygen sensors, and it’s effective in cleaning catalytic converters. -BG Air Intake & Valve Cleaner removes sticky, heavy deposits from the backs of valves and in air intake systems of gasoline direct injection (GDI) and port fuel injection (PFI) engines. Sprayed directly into the intake, BG Air Intake & Valve Cleaner restores fuel efficiency and engine performance, and reduces harmful exhaust emissions. (STANDARD DISCLAIMER: FUEL INDUCTION CHEMICAL IS A HEAVY CLEANER, IT IS NORMAL TO SEE SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST FOR 100 MILES OR SO, ALSO IT CAN POTENTIALLY RESULT IN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATING AFTER SERVICE, THIS IS RARELY THE CASE, HOWEVER IF THIS HAPPENS, SIMPLY RETURN AND WE WILL CLEAR THE LIGHT, NO CAUSE FOR ALARM)
