In some of my older cars, I use the Z-Max micro-lube treatment every oil change ($30 - $40 for the set).
Hope that helps.

I wouldn't use Lucas Oil stabilizer on new BMWs. Lucas oil stabilizer looks like maple syrup (made of petro, very thick) and it'll make your oil heavier/stickier. Using injector cleaners once a year should be good, a couple weeks before your oil change.
I love Z-Max informmercials, haven't heard about them for awhile. Maybe it has something to do with false advertising???
