Default Techron

FYI I went into to Kragen Auto Parts Store to pick up some spark plugs and noticed they have Techron on sale 2 for $15. These are the bigger bottles for up to 20 gal. tanks. When you walk in their is a flyer with a coupon. They are normally $10-$12 depending on where you buy them.

Why not spend $7 for a bottle of lucas fuel system treatment that will last longer and do the same job? 3-4 ounces every 3 or so fill ups and no problems here.

CHECKER, KRAGEN, SHUCKS are all the same company depending on the region where you reside...you might get the same deal at any of them or price matching at your favorite auto parts store.

Pep Boys run similar in-store coupon deals from time to time. I stock up on Techron, not only for Corvettes, but for the wife's DD Sienna every other oil change.
