I just read some posts (did a search) about some using the additive with each oil change etc.
Would just using Chevron gas with techron be as good ???
Maybe every other fill up (or so) since it's a bit more expensive than others...

 

I doubt if just buying Chevron gasoline will provide as much concentration of Techron as adding a bottle of it to your half-full gas tank will. I've been using the Techron bottles for years in all of our vehicles and I can testify that it is indeed great stuff. Probably not quite as good as the professional products that the automotive technicians have access to, but Techron is probably as good of a fuel injector cleaner as you're going to find off the shelf of a typical auto parts store....

Run Chevron gasoline if you choose to, but I wouldn't solely rely on just that to keep your fuel injectors clean. I would continue to use a bottle of Techron at every oil and filter change....

 

I would concur with Jon on using Techron. I use it about once a month with so far good results. I also cleaned out the throttle body and made sure the air cleaner was clean. My car runs turbine-like smooth.

I bought a bottle of Techron at Walmart tonight. Under $7.00. I filled the tank earlier today so I'll have to wait a while to use it.

 

Watch the sale flyers at Pep Boys, Advance Auto Parts, and Autozone. Around here, they frequently offer a buy-1-get-1-free deal on the 12-ounce bottles of Techron. When they do that, you usually wind up getting two bottles for a total of about $8. That's a great deal....

 

Good advice!

 

Thanks guys. I'm sure gas would be around $10/gal. if it was as good as the additive. Looks like I'll be putting the baby on the bottle a few times a year and go with ARCO gas along with a few others at $.10 less per gallon.

 

I believe there are two types of Chevron Techron additive: Fuel System and Fuel Injector cleaner.

Costco carries the Fuel Injector cleaner in a 6-pack for $15. I was able to pick it up last month on sale for $10.

Given the prices quoted in the thread so far I'm assuming everyone else is talking about the Fuel System cleaner. Either way I haven't had any problems using either of the Chevron Techron additives in the past.
