Do 1HZ Engine fuel Injectors need to be cleaned / serviced at regular intervals. My cruiser has just clocked 100 000 klms and is not blowing much smoke, but is this the only
sign that they need a clean. Is it worth while getting the timing checked and anything else to keep it running
well. While I am asking questions, is Castrol RX Super oil OK, and are Fleetguard filters allright, or should i buy genuine filters.

Stan. My 80 series reached 130,000 ks when I met a fuel injection
shop owner who said the injectors of any diesel engine with indirect injection would need servicing at 100,000ks and that
mine were probably already giving trouble but I coudn't notice it. Despite having no apparant problems, I took his advice and guess what....there was nothing wrong with them. I've used Fleetguard filters in the earthmoving game for 20 years and never had any problems. Happy motoring!
