factory states change every 15K....i change it every 8K.....a 300 dollar oil change every 3 months is far cheaper than a 50K motor.

Where can I get the fuel dryer stuff?
I'm guessing Techron is the better fuel injector cleaner?

i had a co-worker who used to do oil change at work every 1-2 weeks lol. i'd say my average oil change interval is 5000-7000km's max. i acknowledge the facts posted up on this thread earlier but i just don't feel comfortable using the same oil for 10,000-25,000+ km's!

It contains PEA which other fuel injector cleaners on the shelf don't have. The only other one that you can get here is Redline Si-1 which is better than Techron concentrate.

I know VW dealers use heaps fuel dryer.
The best fuel injector cleaner is to take it out to a shop with an ultra sonic cleaner and factory machine to put in new service kit if leaking and get the whole set serviced properly.
Just on that reason, Bosch beats all just because you can find injector servicing so much easier.
If you are truly DIY, always have a spare set of injectors, so you can take one set to get cleaned while your other set is in service. Quote:

Replace the rings/caps, then rinse out the inside.
Or without the kits, soak the pintle caps in techron, and shoot some compressed air out of them to clear out any gunk.

and what does PEA do besides stabilizes resins and make plastics pliable? (I probably don't want to use it indiscriminately on injectors). Quote:

Full synthetic in a 30 year old motor meant that the oil changed itself. Kinda handy in a way

Thank you for your inquiry. It has been forwarded to us here at Chevron Fuels Technical Service.
The ProGard and Techron products contain the same chemical additive.
There is but one grade of the Techron product, while there are four
grades of Pro-Gard. The Pro-Gard products are "Clean-up", "Fuel Injector
Cleaner", "Fuel Injector Plus Intake Valve Cleaner", and "Gas Treatment".
The ProGard products give lower, less effective concentrations. These
lower-concentration packages often sell for less. They have less "keep
clean" and "cleanup" properties. They are also not concentrated enough
to clean combustion chamber deposits. There are only subtle differences
amongst the Pro-Gard products, mostly having to do with concentration.
Techron Concentrate Fuel System Cleaner is the most concentrated and
will clean combustion chamber deposits. There is approximately 100% more
active ingredient in the Techron Concentrate than the Pro-Gard Fuel
Injector Cleaner. The active ingredient is Poly Ether Amine with a solvent carrier.
A bottle of Techron Concentrate Fuel System Cleaner, when added to
gasoline according to the label instructions, results in an additive concentration roughly 10 times stronger than the dose in Chevron gasolines.
If you always used Chevron gasolines, you should be getting enough of a
dose of Techron such that you should not have to purchase the Concentrate.
