Just ask them to explain what they mean by 'jets'. There are no 'jets' in a
EFI car, just injectors.

Just throw some injector cleaner into the fuel tank and ignore any supposed
advice about maintaining injectors.
Seriously folks, 95+% of all EFI cars have never had their injectors
cleaned/flushed or otherwise tweaked and manage to run perfectly well....
Any reasonably new car with sensitive injectors has a serious design flaw.

This is an odd reply to what you said previously
>>:Cheaper still, buy some E10 fuel. The ethanol will be just as good at
cleaning injectors as the usual 'dump it in the tank' liquids. <<
