Garlic 1st Gear March 1, 2011 Share March 1, 2011 saw this on amazon.. http://www.amazon.com/Chevron-Techron-Syst...sim_dbs_auto_11 isn't this the more concentrated techron used by caltex? understand the portion added in petrol at the station pumps is negligible, this should be better with the cleaning? anyone used this before? Chevron invented polyether amine (PEA) which is the active ingredient responsible for cleaning. Redline SI-1 is available locally and contains 30% to 50% PEA by volume (as stated by MSDS), it also has UCL properties. Chevron Techron System Cleaner contains >50% PEA by volume (as stated by MSDS), not sure if its available locally. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So_nice 6th Gear March 1, 2011 Author Share March 1, 2011 of course can. its made in the USA where the fuel tank is big and they have to use the whole bottle. for your car, use 1/2 bottle in year 1, then the reminder in year 2. very economical. tats wat i thought too. isnt too expensive since almost 1/2 yr then use half bottle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picanto 3rd Gear March 1, 2011 Share March 1, 2011 tats wat i thought too. isnt too expensive since almost 1/2 yr then use half bottle I personally have used STP and feel no difference at all.

Ken4555 1st Gear March 1, 2011 Share March 1, 2011 REDEX has lubricating emollient properties, hence cylinder linings + piston rings get lube = smoother. STP does not. Petrol is 'dry' by nature, aromatics. No lubrication. Hence any form of soluble oil into the tank would help in any combustion engine. ie 2T oil Carbon is always there. No such things as clearing out by using additives. That's bullsh1t at its best. Even with water injection, when I took out my exhaust manifold, the carbon layer (port side + chamber) was thin but very hard and bonded to the base substrate. You need to scrape or dremel off. This is on ported n polished head. For casted heads factory issue, it is much worse. I would recommend REDEX although I don't use it. I'm using race cylinder lube direct into fuel tank. brand? Tarco?.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigershark1976 Turbocharged March 1, 2011 Share March 1, 2011 yap, 2T makes hell lots of diff when adding to the petrol... why spend so much for other fuel additives? btw bro, i just bot A gallon of MMO, added to the engine and the effect was damn good, my engine is so smoth and more responsive... i tot my engine is gg to be noisier cause the mmo is so thin (much thinner than 5w20 oil) but the fact is, after adding in 2 qrt of 5w20 amsoil with 1 qrt of mmo, the noise is similiar... will drain out the oil at 8K and see how dirty is the oil and post it here!

Wolfy3769 2nd Gear March 2, 2011 Share March 2, 2011 i will personally use STP (red bottle) one if my car was like more than 5 yo or high mileage... i really can feel the different after adding... the car pickup was better and also the engine run more smoothly.. but for newer car, it really not make much different.

Darkblue 1st Gear March 2, 2011 Share March 2, 2011 Dunno about brand but any carrier (fuel) with polyether amine (PEA) works, no gimmick. One easily obtainable brand is Redline SI-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
