Caltex with Techron vs. bottled fuel injector cleaner

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

+1 sir. ganitong ganito. iniisip ko na lang baka sa fuel.

nabasa ko kasi, buwan ang itatagal bago mapanis gasoline ngayon dahil sa ethanol, naranasan ko ito sa gen set namin, nag dumi at nagka kalawang yung carb, kaya Petron blaze na lang nilalagay namin (assuming walang ethanol), hanggang ngayon, kahit 3 months hindi i load testing gen set, umaandar agad.

may pang coding kaming sasakyan, Wed at Fri/Sat lang siya nagagamit tapos tambay na ulit. kapag hind pa ako nag rerefill ng fuel, hindi siya responsive, pero kapag kaka refuel lang, konting tapak lang, responsive na siya.

weekly ako magpa gas, P500, Caltex Silver lagi ko pinapa karga, paranaque to manila via roxas blvd lang route, around 40kms (balikan)

gusto ko sana subukan yung Techron na nasa bote baka mag improve. may nakagamit na?

engine oil fuel dilution.

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

Hmmm... masubukan nga ito, top up from low to full tank kasi ako palagi and 1 full tank ko ay almost 4 weeks, try ko kaya yung good for 2 weeks lang, medyo maabala yung weekly for me.

Kakabili ko lang ng 1 bottle. 470 ata sa caltex. Dapat pala pag almost empty na ilalagay. Kakapa full tank ko lang nung nabasa ko. Try ko bago magpa full tank ulit.

Question, anong nangyayari doon sa dumi na natatanggal? paano lalabas sa makina?

Either fuel filter/exhaust

and/or, it gets burned in the combustion chamber.

Kaka deliver lang din ng Caltex Techron sakin...
312 ang kuha ko sa Lazada, kaso dapat pala empty tank ang oto bago mo magamit... siguro mga next next week pa mauubos gas ko kaya di ko rin agad ma tra try.

So medyo mafefeel ko dapat na may pagbabago sa takbo since may dumi na masasama sa ignition?

Kasi pagkakaintindi ko sa ganyan, yung injector cleaners dumadaan sa fuel lines kaya may iba na yung dumi sa fuel filter napupunta. Then kapag lumagpas na, it goes doon sa combustion process in which ang ending sa exhaust dapat lalabas unless may problem na yung engine.
