    My service adviser is recommending I get a fuel induction cleaning when I change my spark plugs.
    Is this needed or are they just up selling me?

    thank you,

    selling you. how many miles on her?

    follow your toyota maintenance guide, not your financial advisor at the dealership :cool:

    145,000 so she is overdue. Maintenance guide says 120,000 but says nothing about fuel induction.
