It just runs in the fuel and air side of things.

Most of the off-the-shelf injector cleaners are just diesel/kerosene/other hydrocarbon based stuff, nothing too special, but I think the carbon cleaning thing uses some other solvent to break the carbon deposits down into finer dust which is then ejected out the exhaust ports. I guess if you get the carbon cleaning done before you change your oil that shouldn't be a problem since you're gonna dump the oil anyway.

I do know that some AU's actually have a sticker on the throttle body that does state not to use any form of throttle body cleaner. But I don't own an AU so I can't vouch for all of them, this one was on a Series 2 200kw AU.

Hmm could be because of certain sensors - don't know if the AU is any different to the E series Falcons in that respect? But that also begs the question of Oxygen sensors and the carbon clean system - wonder how they go? I know you're meant to be pretty careful with them, they're quite fragile.
