Chevron Techron (No need to Change Oil) unless...
There were some discussions on this board about changing the oil after using Chevron's fuel injector cleaner. I e-mailed Chevron and here is their answer:
Thank you for the inquiry. There is no need to change your vehicles oil after using the Techron Concentrate Plus (TCP). However, Chevron does recommend that you use no more than 5 treatments of the TCP per oil change. With the use of the TCP there is a concentration of the product in your gas tank which is at least 10 times higher than what is in the gasoline itself. This higher dosage might create the chance that some of the product will manage to get into the oil crankcase and react with certain oil additives therein or dilute the oil itself. This is the main reason for the limitation of use - customers would not want to "overdose" and cause an unsatisfactory amount of the product to be diluting the oil. The directions for use are such that any dilution that might occur would not be a problem. Again, It makes no difference if you add the Techron Concentrate before or after the oil change. Regards, Chevron Fuels Technical Services
