Default BG 44K Platinum

I noticed BG 44K is now sold with an extra “Platinum” label on it. I don’t remember seeing this in the past. Does anyone know if this is a new formulation? Thanks

All the best.

Yes, but I got the big run around. They told me I needed to contact my local distributor. The local distributor told me I need to contact the local service shop. The shop near me didn’t even have a proper phone greeting. So I gave up.

They need a better way to communicate with customers about their products. Why would the service shop even know if the formulation changed? BG should be able to answer that question.

My current assumption is that it is just a label change as the product number is still the same (PN 208).But if anyone else has input I’d appreciate it. Thanks.

labeling. Kinda like going to the store and seeing "no sugar" in bold lettering. Then picking up other brands and they dont have sugar in them either. Bg are great products we used all the time but corp said no. Gotta use moc

I have been using K44 for many years on all my cars and it "works" to clean the fuel system of deposit buildup in the intake system of low pressure injector systems for the injector and intake valves. In the new direct injection cars it cleans the injectors and the combustion chamber. This is the one snake oil that works, IMHO
