Don't waste your money on after market injector cleaner. There are cleaning systems designed for cleaning injectors but are really only applicable to deisel fueled engines. The gasoline to day is clean , has agents that don't allow deposits to build up and believe it or not, injector cleaner is nothing but very high octane gasoline!!

Fuel injector cleaner does not hurt anything,but most fuels already have a cleaning additive in their fuel.

Is Fuel Injector cleaning in 2003 Saturn Ion necessary?
I assume you are asking about professional cleaning. Unless you have an injector that is giving you a problem the answer is no. Modern gasolines contain a cleaner to help keep injectors clean. Replace the fuel filter every 36,000 miles. Once a year pour one can of a good fuel injector cleaner in a full tank of fuel. A cleaner such as Seafoam, Techron, or similar product is just good insurance. Avoid the cheap cleaners that you buy for under $2 as they are for the most part worthless.

Pick up a good fuel injector cleaner from Autozone or somewhere, and run it through the gas tank with your next tank of gas.
What can cause gas to get into oil?
Typically that's when an injector "leaks" fuel after the engine is turned off, the fuel pools in the cylinder then the fuel slowly leaks past the pistons and builds up in the crankcase. It would be a good idea to find out which injector is causing the problem, or at the very least, run some injector cleaner through to see if you can stop the condition.
What additives can you add to your gas tank to aid performance and gas mileage?
octane boosters or fuel injector cleaner. You can buy octane booster from autozone from anywhere from 1.99 to 8.99 or 9.99 for the really good ones. Fuel injector cleaners you can find for around $4. Lucas is a really good product
Is fuel injection cleaner good for a car?
Modern fuels today contain a fuel injector cleaner so the need to use a commercially available cleaner is less important, unless you are buying cheap fuel. However I do recommend you use a can at least once a year. But the fact is that most cheap fuel injector cleaners you buy today are of little value. Purchase a can of a good FI Cleaner and pour one can in a full tank of fuel at least once a year. Most good cleaners will cost around $6. Seafoam, Techron, Lucas, are 3 great cleaners. I personally use Seafoam, and have had no injector problems at all. It can be purchased at Advance Auto Parts, WalMart, and many other Auto & Marine Parts stores. Follow the directions on the can to the letter.

How difficult and how do you clean your own fuel injectors in your 1995 Nissan 240SX SE?
Fuel injector cleaner that you mix with a tank of gas, doing anything else to your fuel injectors to try to clean them can, and will likely end up damaging the injector itself, or the o ring seals that maintain fuel pressure. I have changed my injectors myself before, and they don't usually come out easily, or without breaking the plastic electric connector. Good old injector cleaner from time to time will do wonders, and keep system running smoothly.
