Yes. Most modern direct injection engines will not clean with this as the fuel never touches the intake valves. Engines with port injection will have fuel cleaning them and not need cleaned unless you have some serious problems.

Yes and no. If you're trying to use it to clean dirty intake valves on a direct injection engine, then yes, total waste.

If it is an older vehicle with port injection, AND you're using poor quality fuel that doesn't have much detergent in it, then it might be useful. But if you use top tier fuel on a regular basis, probably not doing to do much.

And, even with direct injection, if you use non-top tier fuel, running this once every few thousand miles will help keep injectors slightly cleaner. Enough to fix a dirty injector, or fix a problem if one is already there? Probably not, but maybe enough to keep it from getting very dirty.

One needs to understand a little bit about valve cleaning to see why this product is next to useless. Your typical valve with years of carbon deposits will have to be SOAKED in cleaning solution for hours for the deposit to start dissolving. Another approach, which works 100%, the valve needs to be blasted with a soft abrasive product like crushed walnut shells. If anyone believes that 150ml of anything dissolved in 56,781ml of gas (15 gallons) will do anything to your valves - good luck.

Aren't all these products(you add to the gas tank) a waste of money and don't actually do anything?

Valvoline R&P won't clean intake valves. It might reduce buildup due to cleaning piston rings, decreasing blow by, and a few other things. But as far as I know, won't do anything for intake valve buildup.

Just a reminder that there's a Direct Injection version of this too. I've seen people use the wrong one.

But if you have a new car that has port injection and don't normally use top tier fuel then using a product to keep valves clean has merit. Unfortunately this is probably not the product you want as it doesn't contain the same chemical as chevron Techron to work best.

All of this. I run a bottle of whatever's cheap on the last tank before an oil change. Run through that tank, then change the oil and filter.

While there's debate about the merit of that order (which I think there is at least some) it also makes sure you do it regularly alongside the oil change interval.

Not to mention if you use top tier gas with a port injection car, they'll be plenty clean and free of buildup.

Correct. Just do the Chevron complete fuel system cleaner every 6 months and that's plenty. Also make sure to use Top Tier rated gas.
