Or you could just switch to Caltex petrol/diesel for a few tanks? Isn't it the same effect? That's what I'm doing now since I can't find any either.
Alternatively you can look for the BMW Fuel System Cleaner Plus which is basically rebranded Techron |

I just bought one caltex techron concentrate plus for my bmw 523i which has been suffering from slight misfiring probably from the gummed up valve.
Surprise surprise, it cured the problem after just on one full tank. For RM35, I think its worth the money |

Use other branded diesel fuel injector cleaner... no choice. Some cleaner comes with octane booster, so I think better not to mix between petrol and diesel.

QUOTE(OKLY @ Jun 24 2014, 02:04 PM) I use this together with Caltex fuel, since I pump them regularly.It says only to pour in 5000KM or 10000KM interval. I not sure if it will be same experience with others, but this thing works as acclaimed and according to those reviews, feeling a lot more smoother and willing to go on my car, even though I have been using Nano WS2 + Lambda combo recently before my oil change. I also used it on my home old Kembara non-DVVT that suffers on serious pinging (No choice, that engine lacks power and with short ratio AT, every rev > 3500RPM the pinging is annoying), I would not say it totally goes away but I now only hear the pinging on certain random time, since the car is 16 years old and never been overhauled. |

I've been looking for this for a long time. KIA recommends this as a fuel system cleaner if their recommended one is not available.
In general, from the reviews, this seems to be one of those things that work. I'll be giving it a try in my ride once I'm done with my current tank of petrol, and another on a 5 year old Saga to see if there's any difference. Cleaned out the stock at the Caltex I visited |

So we can basically treat this like an engine tune-up for older cars and those that have clocked high mileage eh?

Those who wanna buy it, you can get it from Caltex gas station near College Bandar Utama.
I just got 2 bottles myself at RM35 each. On their rack there still got around 28 bottles left. Saw their banner stated promotion until 31st July, after that don't know how much. |

Need not think so much.1 gallon = 3.78 Litre... so you do the maths. The bottle is 12oz, 1 oz to 1 gallon. But you don't really need to care unless your fuel tank is larger than that, then it is recommended that you pour in 2nd bottle during next refuel. |

I can't possibly be assuring you that it will help, cause I am not selling the product either. But just that as to me, it works on whatever car I tested, be it my 16 years old kembara, to 5 years old City/Civic/Merc. And IMHO, RM35 is not too much hurt to try?Scare that placebo effect will take the 1st place. And also IMHO, engine flushing wise... Use Lambda Primer Set will yield better result and more economical. |

Their mart is 7-Eleven so no oils/lubricants/additives in there. You'll have to look outside near one of the pump there's a small shelf that keeps all these products, approach a staff to get it. |

Mine is Myvi 1.5 AT, poured 1 bottle into the tank and pumped full tank of Shell RON 95... 1st 3 petrol bar only managed to clock around 70KM (usually clock atleast 80-90KM after used 3 bars).

Perhaps the Techron additive don't really like to be mixed with Shell's fuel? Btw, anyone who tried it experience FC is higher?

Right now still have 3 bars left with and clocked around 180KM. To be safe, I pumped Caltex fuel after pouring in the Techron Concentrate Plus, treat it like extra Techron power. |

Actually I was wondering if a car owner only fuels his car with Caltex Techron, will he still need this additive/cleaner?

QUOTE(OKLY @ Jul 7 2014, 03:25 PM) So far my FC is more or less the same. Perhaps the Techron additive don't really like to be mixed with Shell's fuel? Caltex + concentrate or Primax + concentrate yields best as far as I tested.To be safe, I pumped Caltex fuel after pouring in the Techron Concentrate Plus, treat it like extra Techron power. |

QUOTE(ZeroSP @ Jul 7 2014, 06:40 PM) I frequently pump BHP, maybe next round I'll try BHP with this concentrate.QUOTE(paultantk @ Jul 7 2014, 06:46 PM) They recommend every 5,000km but I guess every 10,000km would be more economical? Most modern engines nowadays have an OCI of 10,000km so can pour it in during each engine oil change like a ritual. They are not doing any press release or something for this?

haha... got poisoned by this discussion! I went and bought myself 2 bottles!
If you all still want, there are at least 10 bottles on the counter of Caltex Centerpoint! Just got the bottles there just now. Actually, RM35 is not cheap. It's just average price to me. |

First 100km; felt marginally smoother and quieter, but the revving is very obvious. It is screaming; rev me to redline. I think my FC will suffer.
It is in 2 cars now, estima clocking 340000km and polo 90000km. |

IMO, i felt my car is smoother and the engine is much more power. My car fuel consumption drop, i think is the addictive cleaning our engine system.

QUOTE(dadurtyz @ Jul 10 2014, 03:18 PM) Yes. Often, people wanted to feel huge difference to judge whether a thing works a single bit. What they don't see is, they are actually preventing the carbon build up in the first place.Same theory to VTEC, Turbocharger alike (aka must feel the VTEC kick in, must feel the turbo lag then sudden boost baru syok), if too smooth then complain not working lol but actually it is more efficient. QUOTE(Eithanius @ Jul 10 2014, 06:53 PM) If you buy into whatever they market, just follow your heart. For me, I know Techron is proven and patented, and happened so my car works best on that, followed by BHP and Primax.And because Techron is by Chevron, and Chevron fuel is kind of premium grade and also premium pricing in USA.

Actually this fuel system cleaner is used for a 12 gallon fuel tank, which is equivalent to 45l. Most of D segment cars (or some C segment) are more than this capacity. That's why BMW's system cleaner has a bigger volume!

4 bottles available at Caltex beside Giant at Bayan Lepas, Penang. Bought 1 bottle to try out.
At 1st bought for RM45 after questioning them about the outrageous price (Price tag printed was RM145 lol). After 1 hour of driving I decided to fill in petrol at the same Caltex petrol station. That was when I saw the big sticker promoting techron concentrated plus for RM35 till 31 August 2014. Took a picture and went inside to question them again (I brought the bottle along as I still haven't use it). Initially the lady at the counter said maybe it is because that stock is old and the price for old stock is RM45. I told her that this product is new and it is at introductory stage, how can it be old stock? Plus the sticker clearly says it is till 31st August 2014. Told her to check properly again. After calling someone on the phone, she finally refunded me RM10. Glad to get it cheaper but the staffs are really |

It may increase the travelling distance of your car if your car's fuel injectors and etc are in need of cleaning, which is probably the case considering your car's mileage.So if i use this product, it will increase my mileage? How to use? when tank empty, pour this bottle into the fuel tank and refill? any recommendation on what fuel to use? I used this even with slightly more than half a tank. You just need to push down on the cap to remove it, poke a hole through the seal of the bottle, and cucuk it into your fuel filler hole and let it flow out. Once you're done, fuel your car up.

Seems like a repeating cycle that stocks are out by weekend, then new stocks will arrive around Monday/Tuesday. Perhaps they are doing this to keep the hype alive.

QUOTE(ZeroSP @ Jul 13 2014, 05:15 PM) lol didn't stock up, only bought 4, and i guess it's going to be 1 for each car. maybe i'll buy more soon ish, depending on how the iswara goes. atm it isn't doing much of a miracle for me:update again on the TCP for iswara: re-advanced the ignition, while the knocking only happens around 6-7k rpm (no reason to push more if it's already knocking), it's still knocking nonetheless so i had to retard the ignition again. to be fair, it's only less than 10km or something after i filled the tank with TCP, maybe it'll take a while for the cleaning action to work it's way through. and i guess it is working when the knocking already happens regardless of rpm so long you floor the throttle and can happen as early as 3k rpm or so. so in the end it is still a minor improvement, just not solving it completely (yet, anyways) as i hoped it to be |

After driving for a week to clear off a bottle of this additive with a full tank of petrol, I don't feel much difference in terms of smoothness and performance. Perhaps mine was already pretty clean but this will still give me a peace of mind as a preventive maintenance measure.

Yeap. Don't expect miracles from the bottle.
But it's a good preventive maintenance that is dirt cheap. I hope no one follows the intervals Chevron stated at the bottle though. Basically it acts like a cleaning agent. And continuously cleaning it ain't gonna make the car go faster, saves more fuel. Just like all the oil manufacturers, they'd want you to change your oil as frequent as possible without a blink. Just gotta be smart and balance that yourself. |

Hmmm guess with forum like this thread the sales will be good. Ignore those sour grapes.
Well I buying this just to clean my ten year old engine. Not to expect to give out gazillion hp out of it. Perhaps if u try on old sports car u can feel the difference. I also worried if chevron malaysia feel like the sale of this concentrate did not pull people into their fuel stop they will discontinue it This post has been edited by minizian: Jul 15 2014, 10:32 AM |

Ok leave the USA alone since it is originated from there, and from Chevron which sells premium fuel in the states.I first came across this and google up review last time when I send my mom's old BMW to service, since BMW rebottled them and uses them also. |

NOOB question here. Does Euro 4 > Euro 3 > Euro 2 in terms that they are better for the engine, or is it just better for the environment (emission standards), or BOTH? If Euro 2 is still pure and clean (good for engine) but just that it cannot meet more stringent emission standards, then it's really no big deal to the main concern of this thread (I know, environmentalist would disagree but let's just leave that to another topic)!

If Euro 2 is still pure and clean (good for engine) but just that it cannot meet more stringent emission standards, then it's really no big deal to the main concern of this thread (I know, environmentalist would disagree but let's just leave that to another topic)! yes, euro rating covers many things but mainly focuses on emissions, the higher the euro grade the less emissions it produces. while emissions are good for enviroment, what does it mean for your engine? take one category that euro grading focuses on : sulphur content. sulphur in the fuel when combusted produces sulphur dioxide. Sulphur dioxide when mixed with water produces sulphuric acid. This acid is what we call 'acid rain' in environmental terms. Now this sulphur dioxide also mixes with the water in your engine, water that comes from the air and as by product of combustion. Because no engine is 100% sealed in the combustion chamber this acid eventually gets into your engine oil and starts degrading it. Since you cant see or feel its effects you normally dont care about it, but it's there and it's eating away at stuff inside your engine so. Euro 3-4 fuels are good for any engine, not just for the enviroment |

I've used it for my scooby. It DOES give me a better throttle response which in return gives better power delivery. On FC side, there's no difference. Perhaps a little more consumption? But depends on the traffic condition, air density etc. So can't conclude on the FC. Need to see 2nd tank without this fuel cleaner.
My current mileage is 67k. Used GUM fuel system cleaner before and this Caltex DOES give more feel than GUM. Price is also 2x! haha |

Because it is dangerous to DIY that techron in my opinion because the tank must be almost used up to have better result as stated on the bottle. Otherwise it is pointless " To use, pour the entire bottle of TCP into a nearly empty fuel tank and refuel with up to 45 litres of petrol " Trust me you do not want to risk going nearly empty fuel tank just for this, its very risky later will also cause all kinds of high temperature results or fuel tank too dry etc. Really want to do it , ask a experienced user/workshop. |

QUOTE(Xu3r @ Jul 17 2014, 04:37 PM) i believe it also able to clean the fuel tank with that cool pump machine. Did not tried on mine but my friend did it. why is it dangerous? if you're afraid, you can pour in at half tank or before the fuel warning blinks.Because it is dangerous to DIY that techron in my opinion because the tank must be almost used up to have better result as stated on the bottle. Otherwise it is pointless " To use, pour the entire bottle of TCP into a nearly empty fuel tank and refuel with up to 45 litres of petrol " Trust me you do not want to risk going nearly empty fuel tank just for this, its very risky later will also cause all kinds of high temperature results or fuel tank too dry etc. Really want to do it , ask a experienced user/workshop. if you're still skeptical, just use caltex fuel only. |

Brothers,
So add this addictive to near empty tank, (meaning wait for fuel icon?), after that pump in full tank? Use every 5,000 km? Sorry for noob question. Never used addictive before. |

I believe this Techron Concentrate is a fuel system cleaner with added RON value booster.

QUOTE(netmatrix @ Jul 18 2014, 12:22 AM) There is no way to make the fuel feel any better than booster. Cleaning agents does things differently. well if the injectors/combustion chambers aren't clogged, supposedly there would be better fuel delivery and better combustion.but of course it could be all placebo anyways personally as per my 2 feedback, not much difference. but hey, smoothness aside, most people are using it for the peace of mind (keeping the fuel system clean) anyways |

QUOTE(Balanced @ Jul 11 2014, 12:10 AM) 4 bottles available at Caltex beside Giant at Bayan Lepas, Penang. Bought 1 bottle to try out. Any review after using at yr 4age?At 1st bought for RM45 after questioning them about the outrageous price (Price tag printed was RM145 lol). After 1 hour of driving I decided to fill in petrol at the same Caltex petrol station. That was when I saw the big sticker promoting techron concentrated plus for RM35 till 31 August 2014. Took a picture and went inside to question them again (I brought the bottle along as I still haven't use it). Initially the lady at the counter said maybe it is because that stock is old and the price for old stock is RM45. I told her that this product is new and it is at introductory stage, how can it be old stock? Plus the sticker clearly says it is till 31st August 2014. Told her to check properly again. After calling someone on the phone, she finally refunded me RM10. Glad to get it cheaper but the staffs are really Will try it also for mine |

ok 3/4 bottles used, may consider stocking up... why?
butt dyno on the inspira seems better acceleration despite being a 9k km 6 month old car... (well technically it's born in 2012 lol...) hmm only drove some less than 5km from station to my house, so hard to judge yet, but the throttle seems lighter... again, butt dyno so take it with a pinch of salt. iswara/sentra not much difference at all even on butt dyno. so last bottle still pending the kancil which still got a week of usage to go (damn that low fc car |

I can vouch for the Techron Concentrate Plus. I'm currently in the states and this is by far the most recommended fuel additive that actually works. I use it frequently on my VW and it helps improve the mileage by a noticeable amount. I use a bottle every ~2000km.

QUOTE(pengster @ Jul 23 2014, 03:15 PM) My car is using a DI engine. Technically it will not be able to clean the intake valves because of the nature of direct injection. But it still helps in other ways for my car. SEriously wont' help? Meaning it wouldn't help for VW cars as well?You used a funnel and it didn't work? Get one that's suitable for cars and not just any normal funnel.

I also wasted a bottle of TCP. Was told there is a plastic funnel underneath the spare tyre. Finally manage to fill up a bottle of TCP this time.

Filled up with around 50l of petrol for my first bottle of tcp followed by second bottle with around 30l of petrol. Not sure if the techron concentrated plus does improve the RON rating but the engine does feel very energetic for the second tank.

few questions
1) what is the difference between TCP and decarbonizer? 2) i've used decarbonizer about 20k km ago, is it okay to use TCP now? afraid of gasket leak or something in the engine. 3) better to use TCP before or after oil change? planning to use syntium full synthetic after raya. 4) anyone used TCP on proton savvy? any difference? mine is 2008 amt savvy. 93k km on the clock. thanks for the reply(ies).

After : 490-500km per full tank or 14-15km per litre of petrol. Testimonial : i've been driving this vehicle since a year plus and my full tank of petrol till the indicator blinking lasted me roughly 370-380km. Before "Balik kampung", i changed the rear tire to 185/60/14 yokohama blue earth tires, changed the ATF and added in the lubegard red. I also filled up full tank of BHP petrol with whole bottle of redline SI-1. My journey to kampung took me 250+km and i don't monitor my mileage because of speeding(130km/h on average). I finished the whole tank of petrol at my kampung by jalan jalan. For my journey back to KL(250km+) , I used the Caltex Techron Concentrate plus with full tank of petronas primax 95. My speed was averaging at 110-120km/h on average. The rest is normal city drive. Will observe 2nd and 3rd full tank of petrol before conclude that this stuffs work for my car.

QUOTE(ZeroSP @ Jun 27 2014, 08:43 PM) Because it is so "crappy" and BMW also OEM Techron Cleaner with their branding. Never thought BMW repack TCP as their OEM cleanerSTP, never worked a thing. Prestone I don't know. I am happy with it's effect, that's it. The other brand that works is Lambda. i know mercedes also got this kind of cleaner but not sure suitable to DI engine? QUOTE(ZeroSP @ Jul 4 2014, 04:22 AM) I can't possibly be assuring you that it will help, cause I am not selling the product either. But just that as to me, it works on whatever car I tested, be it my 16 years old kembara, to 5 years old City/Civic/Merc. And IMHO, RM35 is not too much hurt to try? Lambda Premier Set use to flush engine? mind to share link ? i am interest to my 03 wiraAnd also IMHO, engine flushing wise... Use Lambda Primer Set will yield better result and more economical. QUOTE(pengster @ Jul 24 2014, 03:24 PM) I had it manually cleaned. The workshop guys removed the intake manifold and soaked the valves in a solution for a couple of hours before scrubbing all the carbon out. BMW has their own procedure for their DI engines which is called walnut blasting. It seems to be a normal procedure for them to have their valves blasted once in a while. May i know where u did this? looking for my prince engineFor reference, take a look at how bad the carbon buildup was on my car » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(pengster @ Jul 25 2014, 03:52 PM) Yup it's pretty bad. But its common among the VW/Audi 2.0TFSI engines and on the BMW DI engines. Doing a full carbon cleaning once in a while is common practice for owners here. But, an italian tune up every now and then helps keep our valves clean Here's one of the valves after cleaning: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(ZeroSP @ Jul 27 2014, 03:43 AM) Kembara - 150K mileage Notice CGI is DI engine , this cleanser help?C200 CGI - 46K Mileage FD2R - 42K Mileage Getz - 58K Mileage Hummer H3 - 16K Mileage Honda City - 98K Mileage |

Hyundai is using Blue Chem Fuel System Cleaner which is a product from Germany and has TUV standard from Germany, Which also has the similiarity of Caltex Concentrate Plus. anyone does comparison of these?
Also, there is a local product called VSafe which also claims to clean and save fuels but need to be added every fuel up instead of every 5000km |

if you wan to get rid of those carbon in the chamber, water is cheaper and more effective to decarbon than the fuel additive.
sadly, the video does not show the intake valve side. which i think this kind of fuel additive is more effective on compared to cleaning the combustion chamber as the additive is directly sprayed on the valve with high pressure. |

It just depends on the availability in the station you visited. |
