I prefer to buy 20 oz instead of 12 oz bottles since I can fill the tank instead of a partial fill up.

There are other retailers selling these through Amazon for $52, you may have to wait few extra days to get it though.

Do I really need this if I buy a Top Tier™ performance standard gas?
If you have a direct injection engine, a product like Techron can help prevent build-up on the valves.

Chevron, Texaco, and Caltex are the companies that use Techron. If you fuel up at those places you are good to go. The fuel I buy doesn't have any additive package. I add Techron every few tanks.

Its gotten to the point where 6 pack case deals on amazon have started giving me pause because the amount of times I've been shipped only one has grown more and more common. Couple that with their new customer service approach that is akin to pulling teeth to get refunds, Ive started being more and more careful.

Not to TC..

On advice in the SD posts of old, I bought a gallon jug of the Lucas Oil engine treatment from Amazon. I re-up whenever it goes on super sale.

Using a squirt bottle, I refill old Lucas oil slim bottles from the gallon jug, and just use them whenever I fill up the 1997 f150.

Cheapest and highest rated additive I could research at the time, so I'm pretty happy with the method. Give it a try.

Years ago it was just "techron" without any confusion.

I've been using Techron for my turbo gas direct injection (T-GDI) because the owner's manual recommends using it to compensate for build up. But it's been a while since purchasing, back when I stocked up, to where I'm now down to 2 bottles but I'm confused between the different techrons available for re-ordering. The type of techron that my car's manual calls for is the kind that cleans the combustion chamber. Can someone confirm this is the original-style of techron?
You want the COMPLETE fuel system cleaner. I just ignore the other ones that don't say Complete.

The Complete is BOGO at Autozone right now: https://www.autozone.com/fuel-and.../27795_0_0

I have purchased this from Amazon for $52 earlier this year and has been hovering around $55 for months.

The directions state to apply every 4000 miles but doesn't tell you anything else. Mechanics say to take the car for a long drive 20 to 30 minutes to get the solvents to disperse the carbon build up in a hot engine. Some smoke may occur out of the exhaust. Then drive to empty as soon as possible. Reapply a second time if you have a heavy build up.

The fastest method is to have your car with a couple gallons in the tank, add the entire bottle, then drive the car close to empty in one trip.

No, it won't. There is no fuel flow over the intake valves in a pure DI motor which is why they coke up with oil vapor and combustion soot.

Quote from goodgator2000 :
Those are the 12 oz bottles. OP is referencing a 6 pack of the 20 oz. This is a slightly better deal than the AutoZone BOGO or the current NAPA $5.49 for 12 oz
I was wrong because I did not realize it was 20oz. That being said, this is no deal because these are always at this price locally anyways, its literally the same price per ounce at napa...

Techron Complete fuel system cleaner is the good stuff. This stuff is weaker.

Unfortunately this won't clean the valves of DI engines. You need walnut valve blasting which involves taking out the valves.

The valve chemical soaks offered by some shops don't do much of anything.

Bad deal, these have been b1g1 free for $14 at autozone almost every other month for the last year. I've bought them like 3 times in the last year on the same deal.

Agree. They're BOGO at O'Reillys Autoparts this week.

When you say "this stuff is weaker," which stuff are you referring to?

I thought the picture for the product is for the complete fuel system cleaner.

This would only help if you have port fuel injection. This will not help on direct injection engines.

I would highly advise against the whole bottle with only 2 gallons of gasoline. That much concentration may have deleterious effects on your engine. The recommended amount usually is one of these bottles to a full tank (approximately 16 gallons) but read the bottle to be sure.

If you don't want to use this every so often, just make sure to use a top-tier gas. Search online for those brands that qualify. Costco gas is the cheapest around and is top-tier.
