VX SS (Original owner).
I have run my VX SS on 98 since new, on the last service the mechanic changed the fuel filter after 40,000km which is what the service interval in the book is and he commented on how clean the filter was for 40,000km. I have never used any injector cleaners.

Yes your wasting $'s. Also why would you want to flush crap into the cylinder?

Not all 98's have additives, Shell 98 for example does not have additives of any kind, whereas v power does have anti friction and cleaning additives.
