Thanks, I was hoping to find some at Walmart today but they don't stock it yet. I'll pick some up from AutoZone instead especially with BOGO.

Yes, this is a new product that is based on a different chemical process then Techron. It is supposed to be especially good for direct port injection engines.

Liqui Moly makes Jectron, which I'm sure many of you are familiar with. It's like the Techron stuff you see posted on here frequently.

Some say those don't work as well since they can't "reach" certain engine components. I did a brief look in to it and it seems Liqui Moly sells DI Jectron as well, which is supposed to penetrate deeper.

I'd look in to that a bit more since Liqui Moly is a pretty reputable brand. Not that Valvoline isn't but I think more enthusiast look to LM over others be it for oil or cleaners/additives.

$17 on FCP Euro, can't find it cheaper anywhere else.

The oil is also amazing btw. Seen lots of people saying that the fuel system cleaner helps really well with deposits and even a few people saying it helped clear p0420 codes.

The biggest issue with a direct injection only engine is the accumulation of combustion byproduct deposits on the intake valves, because the gasoline is introduced directly into the combustion chamber. Some manufacturers like Toyota and Ford employ direct AND port fuel injectors. The port fuel injectors circulate gasoline (an excellent solvent) around the intake valves to keep them clean.

This Valvoline stuff is mixed with gasoline. Best case scenario is the ability to restore performance of clogged fuel injectors. Since a direct injection only engine does not introduce gasoline into the intake ports, I don't see how this chemical can reach the deposits on the intake valves.

Not exactly sure how good this would be for cleaning gdi engines as the fuel (and treatment) goes directly into the combustion chamber bypassing the backside of the valves where the bulk of the carbon deposits reside.
