Well i've never heard that before, besides you can just buy some fuel injector cleaner for like six bucks to put in your gas. Injectors rarely go bad all at the same time anyway, if your car is running fine then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. You will know if you need to get some injector cleaner or not. So if its running fine don't worry about it, and if by any chance one injector is not working properly or is beyond cleaning there is a test you can do to find out which one it is instead of replacing all of them. Well i hope that helps.....What other things did he you needed to do? Because i smell smoke!

Well on my old car ( Ford Contour) I did them myself using our shop equipment and it did give some power back, I believe I was at about 65,000.

Every 20k or 25k is BS, however every 60-70k, may not be a bad idea.
