Revisit Fuel Injector Cleaner

I did research on fuel injector cleaner a few years ago and the general concensus was Techron.

I am going to do an oil change soon and thinking to add a bottle of cleaner before the oil change. I went to the store and there were literally rows and rows of different fuel injector cleaners. So, I am wondering if Techron is still the best product out there.

Also, should I get the Techron fuel Cleaner or Techron Fuel Injector Cleaner?

You should just get good old Techron concentrate.

What are they marketing in Canada?

Techron IS the best & the only product approved by Benz.

I cannot find it in Toronto. We do not have Techron gas stations here. My friend lives in New Hampshire and he is coming to visit me soon. I will ask him to buy it for me.

The one he got me last time was Techron Concentrate Plus, Fuel System Cleaner.

Locally I can get Lucas, Redline, Pennsoil, STP, etc. I used to use Redline until I found out about Techron.

Not a big deal. I use this cleaner only before an oil change.
In fact, my car is running great that adding this product is just a peace-of-mind gesture.

I like to think that it helps to keep the injectors clean.
