Yep another one for Techron.
Years ago bought a used Toyota pickup from an elderly gentleman with 42K miles.
Said he never drove it out on the freeway just putted it around town and used the same non brand gas station.
It did pass smog but idled rough , it was a 5speed and while idling in neutral the shifter was shaking pretty bad.
At the time Chevron only put the Techron in the Premium grade , I was doing a run over to the coast so I filled it up with Premium and added a bottle of the Techron additive too.
Drove the 176 miles over to the coast , around the town the next day.
Fueled up again Chevron Premium and added another bottle of Techron.
Once back home engine purring like new and the shifter not even a twitch.
Probably a little over kill on the Techron ? But that sold me on it.
