Techron® is a patented fuel additive with powerful detergents to help keep vital engine parts clean. Techron's unique formulation helps fight deposits in an engine's fuel intake system and minimize contribution to harmful combustion chamber deposits.

What causes deposits? How can they hurt my vehicle?

Normal, everyday engine combustion can cause carbon deposits to build up throughout the fuel system. Those deposits can clog the fuel injectors and impede the flow of fuel. Left unchecked for too long, they can impair engine power, start-up, acceleration and fuel efficiency.

What does Techron do?

Techron® targets carbon deposits, breaks them up and clears them out of your car’s system, and keeps vital engine parts clean with continued use. This helps optimize performance, minimize emissions and maximize power and fuel economy. Techron® will help deliver the best engine efficiency your car can get.

Sounds like a problem for old cars. What if I have a new car?

A new car is just as vulnerable to deposit buildup. As engine technologies advance, operating temperatures become hotter, fuel pressure increases, tolerances are tighter than ever, and fuel injector holes are becoming much smaller and more numerous. So deposits can start building up within the first few thousand miles. But here’s the good news: Techron is formulated to work in both older and newer engines.

Does Techron really work compared to other additives?

Techron® is proven effective in a wide range of field tests against the competition. At Chevron, we routinely look at competitors' products on the shelf and compare them against the performance of Techron. Our engineers break them down to their molecular level and analyze their contents. Some competitor products either completely lack or have very little of the key detergents found in Techron. And unlike some competitors, Chevron has test results to back up every performance claim. That explains why engine manufacturers and professional mechanics worldwide use Techron® to solve deposit-related problems.

How often should I add Techron to my tank?

Techron® is recommended for use every 3,000 miles or right before an oil change. You should limit your use of Techron® to no more than five bottles or treatments between oil changes.

Can I use a full bottle of Techron in smaller fuel tanks?

If you use Techron® in smaller engines, such as a motorcycle, don’t use the whole bottle. The recommended treatment rate is one ounce per gallon, so in a four-gallon tank, use four ounces of Techron.

My car is knocking and pinging. What is causing this? Can Techron help?

Knocking and pinging are generally caused by improper combustion in your engine, called “auto-ignition.” Increasing engine load, temperature, compression, spark-advance, air-fuel ratio and combustion chamber deposits all increase the tendency for an engine to knock. Using higher-octane gasoline reduces an engine's tendency to knock. If excessive combustion chamber deposits are contributing to the knocking problem, you may benefit from adding a bottle of Techron® to your next tank.

How does Techron affect my car’s emissions?

Techron® can help reduce emissions. Lower-quality gasolines leave deposits behind on intake valves. Techron® has the ability to clean up these harmful deposits, allowing engines to operate efficiently and minimize emissions.

If I already use Chevron fuel, do I need to use Techron as well?

If you regularly use a high-quality gasoline such as Chevron, Texaco and Caltex gasolines with Techron®, you probably do not need to use the bottled Techron®. However, should you occasionally fill up with lower quality gasoline, you may need Techron to help clean up deposits that can build up over time. If you have a sensitive vehicle or you use it regularly under severe conditions, you may also benefit from using Techron®. Additionally, if you are buying a used vehicle or you're not sure of its history, Techron will help clean up harmful deposits in the engine and fuel system.

What is the difference between Chevron with Techron at the pump and Techron in the bottle?

The main difference is additive concentration and rate of deposit clean up. Over multiple fill-ups, Chevron fuels with Techron will help clean deposits on intake valves and minimize harmful combustion chamber deposits. When added to a full tank of gasoline, a bottle of Techron® results in an additive concentration at least 10 times stronger than Chevron with Techron®, which provides a much quicker clean-up of intake valve deposits left by lower quality gasolines. The high concentration of Techron® also reduces combustion chamber deposits, which can help eliminate deposit-related engine knock or power loss.

Često postavljana pitanja

Naši stručnjaci objašnjavaju šta Techron^® radi, zašto je potreban motorima i kako pomaže da se poboljša performansa motora.

Šta je Techron?

Techron^® patentirani aditiv za gorivo sa snažnim deterdžentima koji pomažu da se vitalni delovi motora održe čistim. Jedinstvena Techron formulacija uklanja naslage u sistemu za unos goriva u motoru i svodi štetne naslage iz komore za sagorevanje na najmanju meru.

Šta uzrokuje naslage? Kako one oštećuju moje vozilo?

Normalno, svakodnevno sagorevanje u motoru može prouzrokovati taloženje naslaga ugljenika po sistemu za gorivo. Ove naslage mogu da zapuše ubrizgivače goriva i da blokiraju protok goriva. Ukoliko se predugo ostave bez kontrole, mogu smanjiti snagu motora, pokretanje, ubrzanje i povećati potrošnju goriva.

Kako funkcioniše Techron?

Techron^® napada naslage ugljenika, razlaže ih i uklanja ih iz sistema vašeg motora, i održava vitalne delove motora čistim uprkos stalnoj upotrebi. Ovim se vrši optimizacija performansi, emisije smanjuju na najmanju meru, povećava snaga i smanjuje potrošnja goriva. Techron^® će omogućiti najbolju efikasnost goriva koje vaš automobil može da dobije.

Zvuči kao problem za stare automobile. Šta ako imam novi automobil?

Novi automobil je takođe podložan gomilanju naslaga. Kako tehnologije motora napreduju, radne temperature postaju veće, raste pritisak goriva, tolerancije su sve manje, i rupe na ubrizgivaču goriva postaju znatno manje i brojnije. Dakle, može doći do taloženja naslaga tokom prvih nekoliko hiljada milja. Ali, evo dobrih vesti: Techron je formulisan za korišćenje i kod starijih i novijih motora.

Da li je Techron zaista efikasan u poređenju sa drugim aditivima?

Efikasnost Techron^® proizvoda je dokazana velikim brojem terenskih testova u odnosu na konkurenciju. U kompaniji Texaco rutinski tražimo konkurentske proizvode na polici i upoređujemo ih sa Techron proizvodima u pogledu performansi. Naši inženjeri ih razlažu do molekularnog nivoa i analiziraju njihov sadržaj. Kod nekih konkurentskih proizvoda postoji potpuni nedostatak ključnih deterdženata koje Techron sadrži, ili ih sadrže u veoma maloj količini. I za razliku od nekih konkurenata, Texaco poseduje rezultate testova kojima podržava svaku trvrdnju o performansi. To objašnjava zašto proizvođači motora i profesionalni auto-mehaničari širom sveta koriste Techron^® da reše probleme vezane za naslage.

Koliko često treba da dodajem Techron u rezervoar?

Da bi se održala čistoća sistema za gorivo i motora, preporučujemo upotrebu Techron proizvoda na svakih 6.000 milja/10.000 km ili na 6 meseci.

Da li mogu da koristim Techron u manjim rezervoarima za gorivo?

Ako se Techron proizvodi koriste kod motora sa manjim zapreminama, kao što su motocikli, ne treba da koristite celu bocu. Preporučujemo 30ml proizvoda na svakih 4,5 litara goriva.

Moj automobil puca i lupa. Šta je uzrok tome? Da li Techron može da pomogne?

Kucanje i lupanje su uopšteno posledica nepravilnog sagorevanja u vašem motoru, koje se naziva „samopaljenje“. Povećanje opterećenja motora, temperature, kompresije, pokretanja varnice, odnosa vazduha i goriva i naslaga u komori za sagorevanje doprinose sklonosti motora da puca. Upotreba benzina sa većim oktanskim brojem smanjuje verovatnoću da će motor pucati. Ako prekomerne naslage u komori za sagorevanje doprinose problemu pucanja motora, možda ćete imati koristi od dodavanja jedne boce Techron koncentrata plus pri narednom sipanju goriva.

Kako Techron utiče na emisiju gasova mog automobila?

Techron^® može pomoći u smanjenju štetnih emisija. Goriva nižeg kvaliteta ostavljaju naslage na usisnom ventilu. Techron^® ima sposobnost da očisti ove štetne naslage, čime omogućava motoru da radi efikasno i da emisije smanji na najmanju moguću meru.
