Default Air Filter and Fuel System Cleaning Service

I own a 2020 Mazda CX-5 GT, non-turbo, AWD (25,000 miles) and took it to the dealer for service. They recommended a new engine air filter ($43) and a "Fuel system cleaning service" ($259). I can replace the engine air filter myself. What is everyone using? I like WIx and Purolator. The Purolators aren't available. Anyone using the WIX 49247? I'm wondering if it would be suitable. Also, anyone know what a Fuel System cleaning service is? Is it cleaning the injectors? Have you needed this service at 25,000 miles and is it really necessary? How about a fuel additive?

Thanks for helping.

You can use any of the air filters you have used in the past and for past vehicles. They are all good top brand air filters.
FRAM & AC Delco are some other top brands. NONE have any advantage over the other and it really is personal preference!

Not sure why they are recommending the fuel cleaning service at your miles?? You should ask them point blank is there something wrong or you are concerned about because this is not on the service schedule guide ?

I use fuel additive but only Chevron and STP. Does it help, opinions vary but there are some things I do that lets just say for the sake of not getting into a lot of debates from members I like the peace of mind using them..
