Description

Royal Purple’s Max-Atomizer is a fully-synthetic, highly concentrated, high performance fuel injector cleaner. It is specially formulated to solve problems with today’s direct injection engines, but can be used with any type of fuel injection. Max-Atomizer contains highly concentrated polyether amine (PEA) detergents that quickly clean clogged and coked injectors, restoring 100% of injector flow. This optimizes injector spray patterns and better atomizes fuel as it enters the combustion chamber. The result is improved fuel economy, enhanced power and performance, reduced emissions, smoother idle, and quicker / easier starts. Max-Atomizer is the only fuel injector cleaner that also stabilizes ethanol, which chemically breaks down to cause harmful effects to an engine.

  • Wow this actually works!
I am generally very skeptical about these miracle cure in a bottle products but this royal purple atomizer worked remarkably well for me. I had noticed a decrease in fuel mileage, rough idle and an overall lack of performance in a 2.3 liter GDI engine. Also the fuel trims were off quite a bit. After one bottle and a tank of gas, the difference it truly remarkable. The idle is perfectly smooth and there is a noticeable improvement in performance. I expect fuel mileage will improve as well but too early to tell. Fuel trims are spot on. I had forgotten how wonderful this engine performs! Will this fix all problems, certainly not but it absolutely made a huge improvement to GDI fuel injectors. ... show more

  • Holy Smokes!
Had a P0301 miss fire on cylinder 1, with VERY bad rough idle shakes. I was convinced that I needed to change the sparkplugs again as that solved it before. I've used plenty of other additives, but this actually made a difference!

  • This may work to clean injectors and engine but I noticed no performance gains.
3-STARS This is a review on Royal Purple 18000 Max Atomizer Fuel Injector Cleaner, 6 fl. oz. I am giving this product a 3-star review. I used two, 6 ounce bottles mixed with 34 gallons of fuel. No check engine lights came on during testing. Regen mileage interval with NO additives was 384 miles after receiving vehicle from repair shop and vehicle working properly. This product had a decrease in miles between regeneration cycle from 384 miles (baseline) to 349 miles, thus increasing DPF regen frequency. My vehicle went 35 miles less between regens with this product. This product also has a decrease in miles between regeneration cycle from previous product used, Dura Lube Diesel DPF and Catalytic Treatment. Mileage between regen cycle with Dura Lube was 360 miles. Vehicle went 11 miles less between regens with this product vs Dura Lube Diesel DPF and Catalytic Treatment. I also have a second run with ½ tank of this product which showed improvement. This product had an increase in miles between regeneration cycle from 384 miles (baseline) to 408 miles, thus decreasing DPF regen frequency. Vehicle went 24 miles more between regens with this product vs baseline. Improved on second regen cycle! This product also has an increase in miles between regeneration cycle from previous product used, Dura Lube Diesel DPF and Catalytic Treatment. Miles between regen cycle with Dura Lube was 360 miles. Vehicle went 48 miles farther between regens with this product vs Dura Lube Diesel DPF and Catalytic Treatment. MPG. Mileage increase 1.0 mpg on gradual uphill drive. Driving Notes: 21 miles driven during regeneration cycles Soot down to 3 grams EGTs = 556F temperature, normal highway driving EGTs = 698F temperature during regeneration cycle PROS MPG increased by 1.0 mpg Decreased regen frequency on second tank CONS Increased regen frequency on first tank I have included other products for comparison below. You should not compare the towing data for comparison. I have just added it to show that towing will change data. Towing will increase exhaust gas temperatures and should make the DPF more effective. My regen mileage intervals increased, decreasing regen frequency, while towing. There are many factors that affect the DPF performance. The factors that I noticed (on my vehicle) are outside temperature, humidity, vehicle speed or stop and go traffic(big factor), and EGTs. Lower temperatures decreased DPF performance. Higher humidity decreased DPF performance. Higher outside temperatures and lower humidity seem to increase DPF performance. Higher EGTs such as towing increased DPF performance. Driving downhill increased soot production faster. Longer driving distance seems helps the DPF filter as optimal temperatures are reached. It seems like soot accumulates faster when the engine and DPF filter are not warm/hot enough, and this seems to occur within the first 10-15 miles of travel. If you are only making short trips then the DPF will not perform well and regens will be more frequent.
