Free keychain include !!!


Buy 4x bottle of this thing at Caltex Awan Besar.
Pour all 4x, then full tank.

Going back kampung.
Can bau hangit smell inside car when engine rev 3k rpm. lama pula tu.
maybe some carbon burning at the injector and combustion deposit are being clean. good sign.

Will monitor fuel consumption on next full tank.

get free keychain summore.
That all. Have a good day smile.gif


This review is not sponsor by Caltex. Just a review from sgshuhu. Cheers smile.gif


UPDATE : After finish full tank, then pump again. can see my FC really improve.. city drive bar still not drop

Maybe the car won't be affected. But since you are smelling something, it might not be so good for you. Keep your windows open.

nothing is cleaned other than fuel injection nozzle & internal combustion camber which is not required to be cleaned since everything inside gets disintegrated by the time it exits the exhaust the Techron gimmick already loss it's function.

might as well spend the money pumping V-Power at least you get more omph, or those high octane pills.

totally wasted the money and god knows what damage you did (to ur engine & ur health) for pouring 4 bottles in a near empty tank.

By having a clean fuel injector, it will gv u better power as no obstacle like carbon deposit kacau the injection of the fuel. Especially those DI engine like in Mazda Skyactive. The fuel pressure is so high.
Deswai in the bottle it said, restore back lost power. Especially for those old car.

you don't need 4 bottles just to clean the fuel injector. and rarely fuel injector gets stucked because carbon deposits happen where temperature difference is hig and there is no liquid flow to flush the deposits, for example above the intake valves where the temperature is lower than the combustion camber when the intake valve opens vaporized carbon deposits will gather above the intakes & start to resolidify & build up.

that build up would be your main concern for such engine because air pathway has been blocked, not the fuel injectors.

might as well save the money to spend on decarbonizing once every 30k km.

so fuel injector cleaner does literally nothing? So fo lets say a 10 year old car only clock 40k 100 per cent short journey town drive what extra thing i can do to make the engine almost brand new

Dont mess with your engine by mixing any additive

Just pump their petrol is enough

There is no proof that your engine needed to be cleaned or cleaner after the mix

fuel injector cleaner does what it says, cleaning fuel injectors.

this Techron product is designed not just to clean fuel injectors but also the engine internal itself.

due to the way Direct Fuel injection engine works, fuel is sprayed directly into the combustion compartment instead of premix with air then passes tru the intake into the combustion, so the cleaner doesn't come into contact with anything outside Fuel Injector & Combustion Camber.

this applies to DIRECT FUEL INJECTION Engines like VW, Audi, New Merc, New BMW, High End Toyotas, Lexus, Infinity, and even now some new Hyundai & Kia models.

btw, some cars have both Direct Injection + Normal Fuel Injection Combo, so cleaners will work on them, for example GT86 & BRZ.

low tech cars & old cars still use normal fuel injection system so the cleaner will still work on those engines.

a good indication of engine needs decarbonizing is when you feel sluggish or lack of power. usually mileage gives a good indication, once every 30k km.

a good way to reduce carbon build up, is not to turn off the engine right after a drive, let it cool down in idle abit, then turn off, this will lower the temperature difference between the intake valve & combustion camber, which will lower the chance of carbon build ups.

don't worry then, only high end Toyotas uses direct injection.

i'm not sure if current Camry Hybrid & Prius uses them or not.

previously, only Toyota models that uses that are Toyota Mark X & Crown.

hi, i'm sure you don't drive any high end car models or contis, because the difference is substantial if you did not decarbonize the engine between 30-50k km.

also, most SC never tell you you need to do this, because the whole process is very labor intensive, takes few hours just to clean out the carbons, and outside shop not many know how to do it.

and obviously, you need to replace the seals & gasket together since you can't reuse them.

it's like the disadvantage of Direct Injection Engine that no one wants to tell you about.

most of the time Toyota just rebrand. as long u check the spec is same then OK.

u can also try those sold in ACE Hardware.

anyway carbon build up still happens on normal Fuel Injection cars, just they happen much slower, like maybe 200k km? usually no need to clean until major overhaul they do together.

when u say major service, like what?

the cleaner only cleans the engine, it's not 100%, and may take few tries to clean out resilient residues. Also you need to run the car high speed to get more air flow & fuel mixture to be effective.

carbon build up not just depend on fuel quality, but also driving condition, like i say, more temp difference between combustion camber & intake, more build ups, esp when you turn off engine immediately after a drive, or lots of start-stop situations.

Deswai in the bottle it said, restore back lost power. Especially for those old car.

sorry bro, ur picture also shows intake valve top, which doesn't work on DI engines.

only clean the intake valve botton & injector which rarely gets stuck.

u will still suffer air blockage at the intake causing AF ratio issues. like a blocked nose.

only way to clean out the carbon on the intake is open up the engine and manually scrub it.

most of the time Toyota just rebrand. as long u check the spec is same then OK.

u can also try those sold in ACE Hardware.

anyway carbon build up still happens on normal Fuel Injection cars, just they happen much slower, like maybe 200k km? usually no need to clean until major overhaul they do together.

when u say major service, like what?

the cleaner only cleans the engine, it's not 100%, and may take few tries to clean out resilient residues. Also you need to run the car high speed to get more air flow & fuel mixture to be effective.

carbon build up not just depend on fuel quality, but also driving condition, like i say, more temp difference between combustion camber & intake, more build ups, esp when you turn off engine immediately after a drive, or lots of start-stop situations.

wow you didn't change ATF Fluid, flush+change brake fluid & power steering fluid & brake pads or change tyres?

well, it's only 5 years, nothing much to work on the engine other than, Engine Oil & Filter. i doubt ur engine needs cleaning if you say low mileage.

Engine Oil & ATF Fluid is recommended to change during recommended intervals, esp ATF fluid because automatic gears are fragile, engine oil if low tech engine can delay longer before oil change but ATF is not worth skimping because Gear repair is very expensive.

The tyres also needs replacement due to rubber aging. side walls might crack & puncture anytime.

you did not send ur car to SC during warranty periods?

Ya I think auto gear oil definately need to change d. Tyre also harden d, although thread still almost full but harden and crack d. Its my muns car only use to drive 2km to nearby giant. Thats all. Gear oil 5 years d will it be too late by now

I used this in Myvi before. RM16 per bottle. Bought 2.

user posted image

Got about 20% improvement in throttle response but no power increase in mid and top end. It definitely loosen something in the engine. Probably accumulated deposits in the valve and side of pistons.

Big improvement to engine response and some top end power is after changing new engine oil. Not after using this product.

only for non Direct Injection, that part will be clean.
see MPI engine fuel combustion video. and you will see how the fuel flow into the intake valve . but for direct injection, the fuel spray directly to the cyclinder without touching the intake valve.

Not recommended for turbo cars, if big chunks are liberated from piston or valves , these are ging straight to your turbo and chewing up the turbine

Especially ford ego boost engines
