    Caltex with Techron vs. bottled fuel injector cleaner, like STP - do they have the same effect?

    Same lang silang may claim na they "clean your engine."

    I'd stay away from bottled injector cleaners if i were you. Most modern EFI engines do not need these cleaners. Please refer to the Car Bibles website and do a search on fifth gear, it does not do anything to your engine, and may reduce km/l fuel consumption at the least.

    I popped in a fuel injector cleaner 2 weeks ago when my engine was making this strange sound, we initially thought it was dirty injectors for my FD but it was due to the engine mounts pala. Anyway, i've noticed smoother engine running, increased low end torque and better FC. I guess a bottle wouldn't hurt every 10K km. I use ordinary unleaded fuel

    No need. Just do a tankful of Blaze or V-Power every few tanks if you want the same effect.

    Using Blaze is like doing a double-espresso shot of fuel cleaner... it's so potent that it causes hard-starting for some, so you may want to dilute it 50:50 with regular gasoline.

    But if your motor likes Blaze, like mine does... it's great.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    hey! this is over 7 years old!

    we have the same subjective feeling, whenever we have oil change.

    Bakit nga ganon doc? I have the same feeling every oil change which is either true or psychological. But then, there are times in between oil changes that I feel the car is more responsive, and sometimes it feels like it's dragging something.

    How true is it that Techron concentrate eventually mixes in with the engine oil thereby reducing the oil's lubricating properties?

    engine oil fuel dilution.

    this isnt too bad if you follow fhe recommended oil change interval and the recommended break-in.

    I don't know much about Techron and Bottled Fuel Injector cleaner. Because I didn't use it for my car yet. I have been using a handheld vacuum cleaner. The price is affordable with 2-5 years warranty depending on the price. Also 15-60 minutes runtime.
