I’ll check it out.

Usually buy it at Walmart for right under $5.00, like $4.97 or so.

Now it’s $8.74 for 10 oz.

Everything is going way up.

Hey guys, I bought 2 of the 20 oz for $14.99 plus tax.

Almost bought 4, however not sure how long these are good for, or do they degrade after so long?

No more mean tweets though!

Edit: New to me 98' C5 previous original owner told me he would only run the cheapest gas available, 87 cat pi$$. I drove it home from Montana to ILL and put a bottle of Techron in at every fill-up, 93 octane premium. So far so good.

Just used a bottle of high mileage Techron the other day, always been a solid product combined with Exxon fuel.

Speaking of this I had a question


i bought Techron 10oz and I was planning on doing two doses. 1/8 tank pour then get gas, and repeat.

I saw our gas tanks are 17gallons I believe so that would mean we would need 17oz..would it have been better to get the 20oz? I was scared of over doing it

I pour the 20oz at 1/2 or 1/4 run it a bit, then get gas. Seems to work well with this method.

Chevron Techron Concentrate Plus, 10 oz:
  • Formulated to clean and protect the complete fuel system
  • Maximizes performance and fuel economy
  • Minimizes emissions
  • Treats up to 15 gallons of fuel
  • Recommended every 3,000 miles or at your oil change


I had always used the 10oz and filled up, fixed my gas gauge on my 1999 C5, I think you should be fine.
