Wal Mart gas gives me the squirts. I tend to only drink Shell or Chevron 93 octane.
Techron is one heck of a laxative. :lol1:

I did not see anyone mention Valvoline Complete Fuel System Cleaner. I have used it on used cars I have purchased and noticed a difference in driveablity half way throught the tank full. Cars I have owned a while I really don't notice a huge difference since I'll throw in a bottle about once a year.

Does the concentrated vs the 20oz make a difference? Or should I pour my second bottle in?

So you guys are giving Chevron PRO-GARD Fuel Injector Cleaner with Techron a big thumbs up?

I believe I read somewhere proguard is a lesser form of techron. More diluted and there are different uses for it.

Thanks. :beer: Costco was having a sale on it starting tomorrow. I'll save my money.
You can buy the concentrated one in a 20 Oz bottle iff you like.
Pro-Gaurd isn't the version I'm using. This is what I've used with success:

Thanks for the image Sid.
Some of the severe oil consumption issues plaguing many modern engine designs and car manufacturers are in fact being caused by low drag/low tension piston rings becoming coked with deposits and getting stuck in the ring lands.
They are supposed to push out against the walls under compression and high cylinder pressure, when they are coked they can't.
The GM 5.3L V8 and the Toyota 2.4L 4 cylinder are just two of the many victims of this fairly common malady.
You can combat this by using a fuel that already contains a cleaner and by regularly supplementing that with some of the cleaners mentioned in this thread.
Using synthetic oils will keep the lower half of the pistons and the rest of the inside of the engine MUCH cleaner than conventional oils can. They are worth the extra money on many different levels.

Jimmy,
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't always make him drink.
Listen up readers, Jimmy speaks the gospel.

I added a can of STP fuel injector cleaner to a half tank of gas. Then I filled it up. Drove around a little bit. Let the car sit for a couple weeks and then my Cobra ran so much better. I do let the car sit a lot too. Every winter I add stabil too

Oooohhhh deeply penetrates. Jimmy how many gallons does one bottle treat?
Top of the bottle says 20 gallons.
Did not even see that. Was too busy reading the rest of the bottle and product sheet.
Royal Purple Max Clean energy drink.....coming soon to a store near you. LOL!
Techron is the only additive that has mace z noticeable difference in any of my vehicles. I have tried lucas and a few others with no noticeable change.
