I don't think there's a Chevron station anywhere near me at all, and I usually use crap gas. As a result, its additives typically make me wary so I add a bottle of Techron every oil change. All of my vehicles run great and the last time I used it in the Jeep I noticed it started easier and idled smoother.

Some people will say all additives are snake oil, and others swear by it. To me, $5 every oil change is a small chance to take when a multi-thousand dollar vehicle is on the line. There are also people who skimp on oil changes or use dino oil to save what, $150 a year...

There are 2 real choices as far as anyone here is concerned. Techron or BG44K. And I dont mean "Here" as in "This thread thus far", I mean on this entire forum. 4000 more posts here will only yield more people saying to use one of the 2, or saying they're useless and their best friend's mom's brother's Thundercougarfalconbird ran for 2,000,000 miles with none of it.
