Default Fuel injector cleaner

So the other day I bought these "Complete fuel system cleaner" from Walmart for $5.00. It's just a little bottle, and I'm suppose to empty it into a full gas tank. I also bought this fluid that you add directly to the engine oil, and it's suppose to actually lubricate the piston for better compression or something. I paid $10 for both bottles. I thought it was kind of cheap, and I'm not sure if it even works. Has anyone had experience with these kinds of products?

i'd only use lucal oil injector cleaner, it works really well and is proven to work... i also believe lucas oil has an oil stabilizer like the one you bought, but it's MUCH better i'm sure

SK8 didnt you see my post about lucas around a week ago. Some asked about it. Dont use it in your oil. It creates air pockets in the oil and can actually cause more harm than good. Here ya go

oh i missed that... that makes sense, i was really surprised by that article... in reality i was really just making a statement that i'm sure lucas oil would be a better quality than any $5 wal-mart brand oil stabilizer
