As a side note, you may get 1 out of 100 parts counter guys that actually know anything besides thinking they know everything. I would not be listening to a parts guy about additives if for no other reason than he is probably trying to sell you product.

I know this is an old thread, but to clarify in case someone comes across it. The above statement is false. Fuel treatments in a direct port injection system wouldnt affect the valves. The injector doesnt spray over the valves like conventional engines. If you use a fuel treatment constantly, i would imagine the only risk of damage may come with poisoning your cats.
