How to use Techron
Should I use Techron in back to back fillips or space it out and maybe add a bottle on the 3rd fillup, Etc. Having a slight bit of hesitation on accel. in my 2002 LS430, I've seen Techron recommended on here but not sure how everyone uses it>
Thanks,
Harry

Years ago, I used to use a full-tank treatment about once every 6 months. I'd run that tank down to under 1/8 before refilling and diluting the treatment.
In the past few years, I've only been running Top-Tier gas (Shell) in all my cars and haven't felt any need to run Techron. I also bypass any station with a gas truck there.

I've always used it in all my cars. One 20 once bottle twice a year. I use Chevron in my LS as well.

Agree - I use a 20oz bottle once or twice a year to keep the injectors clean in addition to always using Tier 1 gas. And also make sure your air cleaner, MAF, and throttle body are clean. That's the key to smooth as silk idle.

Boca - agree - I think modern iridium tip plugs running in combo with cleaner gas and much tighter engine controls can last a lot longer than current OEM recommended service interval. If it were me at over 100k miles, I'd periodically take out a sample plug to inspect it (maybe every 10k miles) - if sample looks good no reason to change them that I can tell.
