Default Engine and Fuel Additives - what do you use

Hey Guys
As the title goes. What do you use in your motors as an additive or fuel additive/cleaner.

I recently used the liqui moly fuel injector cleaner system and found it good. Engine additives i used the Green nulon additive for high mileage cars and stopped the ticking in my old vehicle.

what do you guys use or swear by that can work for our motors / performance and increase the life wear of the engines

want to see what else is good out there!

Every 10,000km I toss in an injector cleaner.

Just before every oil change I add an oil flush before I get to the mechanic.

I have another car that sits for quite a while between runs - before I use it I baby it to the servo and fill it with 98 plus an octane boost because whatever is in the tank would have sat for several months.

Don't care for brands - I buy whatever is on special at the time and often stockpile several bottles when I can get a good deal.

Injector cleaner is just liquid hydrocarbons, just get the one with the highest amount.

Depending on what you using your additive for I use Fuel Doctor, good product for petrol or diesel engines.
