Question on Techron Use.
I bought a bottle of Techron the other day as advised by many on this forum, but ahave a few questions on its use:
1.) Should it be added to a full tank or empty tank then filled?
2.) Does it need to be done before an oil change? I am just finding some threads stating that it effects the oil. I just changed my oil!
I have a 2001 with 11,000 miles on it.

I put the stuff in my vette, they say to change the oil after to clean all the deposits you just washed out of the fuel lines and engine. How true this is i don't know, but i could image if your valves were really dirty, some of the carbon cleaned from them could get onto the cylinder wall and then into the oil. Anyone?

Put it in, then fill her up. Will distribute the stuff to both tanks faster.
