Chevron Fuel System Cleaner?

Has anyone used this stuff before? My car only has 31K so I don’t think I need it at this point.

A friend who works for a parts distributor gave me a bottle to try.

Good stuff I suppose. I used to use it once or twice a year. Do not have high mileage car anymore. Be sure to change your oil after you run it with a tank of gas. Really dirties the oil.

correct. Fuel additives can dilute the oil as well. Generally you can use them up to twice between oil changes if they are the stronger concentrations or volumes.

I’m assuming op is talking about Chevron Techron which is one of the best. Op, when deciding on what to buy you are looking for the highest pea content which is usually redline, crc, and Techron. Some people will also recommend top tier branded gas which has more additive than standard off the shelf gas. However, a once in a while fuel system cleaner is still a good practice.

Yes, it’s Chevron Techron. Good to know it’s quality stuff. I was more concerned it would harm the injectors. I had know idea it dilutes & dirties the oil.

I just did an oil change not too long ago so I’ll save for when I’m due for the next one.

Appreciate the advice and insight 👍

Why not just use Chevron gas every time you fill up? The gas has Techron in it.

Unfortunately, there are no Chevron gas stations in Ontario.

Ahh okay then. Several years ago some friends and I did a Harley trip from So. Cal. to Lake Louise in Banff. What a spectacular place to live.

but the other BIG NAME brands will have their own similar fuel additives in the gas.
SHELL, SUNOCO, TEXACO, EXXON ETC.
Also you can read about the TOP Tier Fuel thing which is in a few threads on the site.

That must have been an incredible experience. I grew up in Vancouver so I can certainly appreciate the beauty you witnessed on your trip to western Canada. Lots of great roads, and probably lots of Chevron stations along the way!
