Could fuel injector cleaner or motor flush potentially damage my car's engine??? Could this ruin gaskets or that sort of thing?

i wouldn't use any of them, often these products do nothing to help and sometimes cause trouble , if u feel injectors need cleaning get it done at a shop that specializes in it . as for a motor flush , i wouldn't do that either , if its a high mileage motor u will flush gunk u shouldn't , i know it sounds funny , but after flushing u could experience faster wear in the motor and possible damage to valve seals etc. hope this helps

Fuel injector cleaner is ok, but a lot of engines have been ruined by motor flush. It dislodges a lot of sludge and crud and moves it into tight passages and clearances and clogs them up.

No. Actually the kind sold at gas stations, etc is good to do about every 3 months. Consumer Reports agreed.

it will only help for a very short period, sometimes can't even feel.
i would suggest stop using, cleaner in some brands had a corrosive content to clean, thats what happen to mine.
hope it helps, Merry Christmas.

If it did you could sue the producer of the product, but I think it fine.
