Looking for Chevron TECHRON

**pininfarina** · February 6th, 2004 11:05 AM

I have read good reviews about the Chevron TECHRON fuel injection cleaner. I am interested in buying it. Do you know anybody selling this product?

wild guess only pininfarina,
but as far as im concern CALTEX is bought by Chevron Already, ni retain lang nila ang caltex dahil may recall sa atin. try asking sa caltex main office sa 6750 ayala, my wife use to work there

pininfarina, baka you're pertaining to the Caltex PowerClean

Caltex PowerCLEAN® Fuel System Treatment

Powerful fuel system treatment concentrate containing a deposit control additive with unbeatable clean-up of fuel injectors, carburetors and intake valves of gasoline four-stroke engines. Periodic application ensures that intake systems are kept clean, restoring lost power and performance caused by deposit build-up.

locally available sya in the form of Mitsubishi Fuel System Cleaner (repacked)...mabibili mo ito sa El Dorado at Mitsu dealers...

as far as i know the brand TECHRON was used by Caltex(Chevron-Texaco) for their fuel (bago ito naging Vortex)...

Thank you for the replies. Actually, I asked El Dorado about the Mitsubishi Fuel System Cleaner. Unfortunately it is unavailable. Regarding the Chevron TECHRON, I have read the article on the internet, and they gave a good review on this product. What I saw lately sa HandyMan was Cyclo CLEANUP Fuel Injection Cleaner. Has anybody tried this?. If anybody has experience in using this, please respond to this thread. Thanks again.

Kasama na sa pag pump ng gas dito ang Techron.

Anyway...

There are many engine treatment products on the market, each with its own claim of wonders. There is certainly a lot of marketing hype for such products. For some, they are even backed by product demonstrations to proof the point. If you take a closer look, you will probably notice that many such demonstrations are created under controlled conditions. There are even some setups skewed to show what the product manufacturer would like you to see/believe. Somewhere along the line, many of us must have been a sucker for such products.

I suggest you search the following words in google.com
"engine treatment hype" then decide if this thing really works.

i've recently seen caltex gas stations have techron added to their vortex gasolines, even diesel, well at least that's what i see from their logos saying "vortex with techron". may halo nga kaya yun? i also have been reading articles about techron, puro positive benefits eh, totoo din b to? baka meron nakakaalam drawbacks jan, please do share, thanks

May Techron nga pero wala namang pantapat sa Velocity or Blaze. Ano ba talaga pinaka-ok na gasolina?

**ssaloon** · March 16th, 2006 12:29 AM

afaik, all caltex gasolines carry the techron additive. panapat nila sa velocity ang gold. wala silang panapat sa blaze since 96RON ito.

Mas mahal ng konting cents ang Chevron kesa sa Shell. Ewan ko lang kung may epekto. Basta ako alternate between Chevron and Shell...

I just started fueling up on Caltex Gold with Techron. Previously I don't usually fill-up at Caltex stations since I experience lower fuel consumption when using their products. But now, am getting pretty a pretty good fuel consumption with their Techron-added products.

**karl88** · March 16th, 2006 01:27 PM

Chevron bought the shares of Texaco thus it is now called Chevron and not Chevron-Texaco anymore. The Techron is just an additive...same as the old Vortex. WIth the new image that Caltex (named retained because of brand recall) has now here in the Phil., the Techron products are now being offered in almost all Caltex stations. Ang pang-tapat nila talaga sa Blaze and Velocity is Techron Platinum (available na in other Asian countries). Pero hindi pa nila dinadala dito kasi hindi pa feasible coz the demand for high RON fuel is not that much. Pero hopefully soon ilalabas na rin yung Platinum.

**recklus** · March 16th, 2006 08:53 PM

aahh ic, pero ganun nga b kaganda effects ng techron? puro positive kac nababasa ko articles eh, cguro nman it has minor or major drawbacks? or wala b tlga? la lng

, hehe, it just seems to good to be true eh?!

**buknoy2002** · March 18th, 2006 05:24 PM

not all caltex here have techron....

any other good feedbacks?? so far si mazdamazda pa lang ang meron

**recklus** · March 18th, 2006 11:21 PM

i really cant say, matagal na kasi ako lagi pa-gas sa caltex, i always fill up with the vortex gold, i haven't felt any difference. i still have the same fuel consumption, performance, etc. if in case na selected caltex stations lang yung may techron talaga, i've already visited stations in different locations, cguro naman naka tsamba na ko at least 2 or 3 stations na meron talaga di b?
