Esky Neutral Newbie February 23, 2009 Share February 23, 2009 Heard from an actual user that this fuel additive works better than other similar products in cleaning out carbon and/or sludge from the engine, and will give noticeable difference after using. Any bros here used it? What's the price like? Thnx! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeyeo Clutched February 23, 2009 Share February 23, 2009 Heard from an actual user that this fuel additive works better than other similar products in cleaning out carbon and/or sludge from the engine, and will give noticeable difference after using. Any bros here used it? What's the price like? Thnx! Hi 'Esky', though I have never use this product, there are many other additive in the market. It is very difficult to say which is better. HOwever, it's good that you read up the specifications and compare with other brands. As for me, I use 'OWS' additive as I am also using 'OWS' high performance engine oil with very low viscosity.

Starengine Neutral Newbie February 23, 2009 Share February 23, 2009 thought caltex petrol already add this techron? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route88 2nd Gear February 23, 2009 Share February 23, 2009 So far,cannot find tis on the shelf. Maybe techron is the main selling point for caltex thus if easily available,the kiosk might be vacant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky Neutral Newbie February 23, 2009 Author Share February 23, 2009 I believe that over here, it's called PowerClean and not Techron, to differentiate it from the additive in the fuel, although it's the same thing. Mikeyeo, is OWS the same company producing the double iridium spark plugs? How's their fuel additive and engine oil, any good? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider 3rd Gear February 23, 2009 Share February 23, 2009 I think I saw in Caltex station before...but never really believe in this kinda additive. If you really want to feel a diff...a good 100+ km blast up NSH at high speed (tacho @ 5,000rpm) and come back...you car will be silky smooth....

Kb27 Supersonic February 23, 2009 Share February 23, 2009 Sold in Frankel Caltex. It's not Techron as labelled but PowerClean. I wrote an email to them and they claimed it's the same as Techron. I still have doubts. If you want Techron chemical which is PEA, just get Redline Fuel system cleaner or Amsoil PI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky Neutral Newbie February 23, 2009 Author Share February 23, 2009 So, what's the price of Techron/PowerClean like? Which one among PC, RL FI Cleaner & AMSoil PI is more cost effective? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Neutral Newbie February 28, 2009 Share February 28, 2009 i have never used a caltex products but fuel additives do they really work? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mits_jc 5th Gear February 28, 2009 Share February 28, 2009 The benefits of fuel additives per se is subjective, some claim they work, some claim they don't. Their respective manufacturers of course want you to believe they work. You can try it and see if it works for you, but I don't recommend you add it to every other tank of petrol, maybe every 20-30k KMs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byond 1st Gear February 28, 2009 Share February 28, 2009 Why not pump caltex platinium or even V power? 1 Full tank should have the same effect as those cleaning additives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picanto 3rd Gear February 28, 2009 Share February 28, 2009 i have never used a caltex products but fuel additives do they really work? i have tried STP. really cannot feel anything. but its supposed to clean valves etc....so i just use it every 25,000km. harmless too.........

Wintersonata Clutched February 28, 2009 Share February 28, 2009 (edited) If Caltex have something that really works so well, then Shell, Esso can all close shop liao... Edited February 28, 2009 by Wintersonata ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
