hello guys. im new here. using 2008 savvy high line silver colour. no mods yet except small stuff e.g close pod, voltage stabilizer and a bit of grounding, 4 point strut bar. no plan to make any big mod soon.

got few questions
1) any of you used Techron Concentrate Plus (TCP) fuel cleaner? any performance or fuel consumption difference? (anyway TCP is on promo now at rm35 instead of normal price rm45, promo till end of august)
2) what is the difference between fuel cleaner and decarbonizer? i think fuel cleaner cleans the fuel system (fuel clogs for example) from tank all the way to the injection but decarbonizer cleans carbon deposit from intake to combustion chambers including valves. please clarify this.
3) i've used decarbonizer about 20k km ago, is it okay to use TCP now? afraid of gasket leak or something in the engine.
4) better to use TCP before or after oil change? planning to use syntium full synthetic after raya.

thanks for the reply(ies).

1) Have not use before. Basically Techron is a fuel additive that helps to keep clean burning environment, given correct ignition timing and right amount of air/fuel ratio, hence keeping your combustion chamber from deposits formation.

2) Decarbonize means to blast off the deposited carbon in the engine. Techron is NOT A FUEL CLEANER, it helps to keep your combustion at optimum cleanliness. Change of fuel filter in a regular manner is more feasible in my opinion, rather than keep pouring additive in the hope the fuel system become clean.
3) Basically, Techron changes the fuel characteristics by molecule. So, it doesn't harm your car given the correct mixture is properly measured. If you're scared of gasket leak, why not start with CALTEX petrol
4) Doesn't really matter when you change your engine oil. As long your fuel tank is close to depletion, drive to your nearby petrol station, pour in the TCP and fill up petrol to the brim and start driving.

Trust me, you will feel absolutely nothing after spent on the TCP, however if your butt is sensitive, you will feel a very smooth pickup, feels more powerful, feel more torque and probably save some 10~20km/tank of petrol

haha. well said bro.

kena setepek. some said u fill up caltex already have techron. haha.

next time buy octane booster or ceratec better.

true on caltex having techron additive but with low concentration of course, that is what caltex malaysia has been marketing since forever. i used to use caltex and i admit it gives slightly more performance with no compromise on fuel consumption. but i switched to primax because, lets just say it gives me more benefits.
