misfire in 3 cylinders

Topic starter

Before I ask the question im going to give you some specifics. I have a 2012 honda pilot, i have had loads of work done to it in the last year. Some i did myself, other the shop. 

 

I have a basic scan tool, maddox mr10. Just getting started and learning something i enjoy ill say. To the point, my long and short term fuel trims on bank 2 are running at low negatives. ( -12- -15%). I have pulled the data on my MAF seems normal. I go to my misfire data, all 3 cylinders have a low number of misfires. Cylinder 6 being highest. When i say low im saying maybe 30-40 misfires. No CEL. 

 

I take it to the shop, he looks at it. Tells me hes going to have to do more research on the cause. Most seems normal. He recommended i run a good cleaner through it. Which i already do including top tier gas. He recommended chevron techron every 4-5 fill ups. That doesnt line up with the instructions. Whats your take? I dont want to stress my seals, dilute my oil too much or what not. Whats your take? Thank you for taking the time to read this. Hope you had a merry christmas.

Whats your take?

Scotty usually uses and recommends ATS 505 CRF, as you can see in one of the many videos.

Monitor your fuel trims and then decide if you still need to add it.

Scotty has recommended 505 CRF Fuel System Treatment in several videos.
