Valvoline Injector Treatment - Belated Update

[JDeMont]

Short Version:



Per Robert Patton, the Valvoline Part No. VP202 available from Geno's Garage is the product that superseded (replaced) the Valvoline-Cummins Product (3164982).



Longer Version:



With his permission, I have pasted what he said below:



"Likely, these are the same products as our part number was superseded to the new VP202.



I am sorry, but I don’t know if the label with the Cummins logo was discontinued.



Yes, the HD VP202 is still recommended for the HPCR 5. 9L engine.



I would use 2. 56 ounces per 20 gallons to follow the same ratio as the Cummins 32 ounces/250 or 2. 56/gallon. "



Hope this helps.

Robert's answer regarding the OK for the 5. 9 HPCR and at what concentration for continuous use was in response to my questions. The VP202 label says for HD engines of 10 - 16 Liters. The amount to use goes back to the Valvoline -Cummins labels which were confusing. The one pint size said it would treat up to 45 gallons and the one quart size said it would treat up to 250 gallons of diesel.



Regardless, I bought 2 quarts from Geno's & will be using it somewhere in the range suggested by Robert.



FWIW

I asked the local Cummins Southern Plains parts-counter guy about that and was told that the products were of different concentrations in the two different sized bottles. Also apparently the reason for the significantly different price for the two bottles, accounting for the size difference.

I will tell you one thing, this is the best fuel additive I have ever tried. I use it about every 10k miles and I notice a big improvement in performance. I guess my injectors get gummed up and this stuff just cleans them right up. I highly reccomend this great product.

I"m glad somones truck actually runs better with it. Mine misses when started while the engine is up to temp if I run it. I stopped additives all together and haven't eaten any injectors lately.
