Advise pls on using an engine cleaning treatment

My Merc E300TD 1997 has 120,000 miles, (its had a very very easy life).

I'm booking car in for a Tranny & rear diff service.

I'm on a bit of a proactive maintanence buzz.

Thier a number of companies out thier that offer products to clean...

Dirty or Clogged Fuel Injectors, Fuel System, Carbon on the Engine Intake Components, Deposits on the Oxygen Sensor, Clogged Catalytic Converter ect.

Does anyone have advise on whether these are worth using?

Product example:- BG 44K

I have used Lubro Moly Diesel Purge in the past. Based on other forums that I have lurked on... It seems this stuff is the way to go...

If you do a Google search, you will find lots of information on where to order it and how to use it...

It's all snake oil. You don't need any of it.

Premium products (good synthetic lubricants, good quality fuel), strict maintainance, and full throttle cruising will keep your engine completely clean and running well.

Thanks Untertürkheim,

So just good maintenance and a good occasional high revving when nice and hot on the motorway?
