willl using Chevron Techron(fuel system cleaner) void Lexus warranty? (how can Lexus even find out?)

on the other hand, doesn't Chevron already put a little bit of Techron in the gas sold at Chevron gas stations?

No... additives cant void any kind of warranty, unless it somehow causes a failure, which i highly doubt. There wouldnt be a way for them to find out, even if it did cause a failure.

I use techron.. its good stuff. And yes, Chevron does add it to their gas.. but its in a lesser amount than what youd get by adding the bottle of additive.

absolutely not.

each of the major gas vendors (Mobil, Shell, Gulf, Chevron, etc) add their own blend of "special" additives to each tanker truck when they fill up at the depot.
