is there a difference between the Fuel injector service and the fuel system cleaning?

Best to just use regular but make sure it's a "Top Tier" brand of gas as recommended by Lexus. These brands have adequate amounts of cleaning additives in all grades. I throw in a can of Techron every 5,000 miles for good measure.

I know that Lexus recommends specific fuel grades for different vehicles, but do they really recommend fuel brands?

Hey guys I just took my 2017 rx 350 with 44200 miles to the dealer and they said I need fuel induction service. Its recommended every 30k miles. ($169) I don't think the owner before me ever had this done. Do you think I need it?

I wouldn't fall for this rip off if the vehicle is running smoothly. That is not listed in the scheduled maintenance of any Lexus or any other vehicle I have ever owned.
I use the Toyota dealer now for maintenance that I can't do myself. I got tired of the Lexus service rip offs.

Should go by the schedule in the owners manual. Ignore the dealers schedule.

My other vehicle is a Honda. When I bought it a few years back, my Honda dealer told me I should drink Honda coffee and breathe Honda air. Now I was told by my Lexus dealer that I should drink Lexus coffee and breathe Lexus air....

Fangking: We are on our fourth Lexus. My wife drove an ES 350, which she loved dearly, but was totaled, so she replaced it with another ES. I drove an RX since 2004 and replaced it with another RX this January. For regular service and after-warranty work, we have used a Toyota dealer with whom we have developed a great relationship. Not only do we save tons of money, but the service reps also slip us many special coupons and deals. The ability to service our vehicles at a Toyota dealer is one of the big reasons I tout Lexus cars.

Here's your $169 fuel system cleaning.
I run it through my 4runner and previous RX every 40k - 60k miles.
Is it needed? Maybe, maybe not. It gives me piece of mind, but I it could just be a $27 can of snake oil.
Do what you feel is right. BG makes good products, and they don't directly sell to everyday consumers.
