Chevron Techron

Anyone else use this?

I did the double Techron clean out in November. Dumped the 20 gallon size in a full tank of gas and ran it out. Then dumped the smaller 12 gallon size in the tank with about 10 gallons of gas in it, ran all the gas out of the tank also. Did an oil change right after that.

I did feel somewhat of an improvement in performance especially on the highway when passing another vehicle. It seemed that it had better acceleration at highway speeds. Idling is also smoother.

The double whammy is really suppose to clean real well..

I plan on doing this every six months.

It's the ONLY injector cleaner that's worth anything. The gumout and STP stuff is crap.

I dump a bottle into the tank at every oil change. A friend of mine is a mechanic and that's his recommendation.

one of the few mechanic in a can products that is reported to work as advertised. I think a double dose would surely make a difference. , particularly on an older model (over one year old).
