Question ProGuard=Techron?

I was at the local Kragen yesterday and they had 16oz ProGuard w/Techron for $4.00 and 12 oz Techron for $10. Are these essentially the same or is the $10 one much more concentrated?

"with" can mean 0.00000000001%, or 99.99999999%. Check the bottle, I believe law requires it to list the "ingredients" and they will be in order of descending percentage (for example, in Cherry Coke, carbonated water is the most plentiful ingredient, the only thing less plentiful than the cherry is caffiene (and that's about 25 micrograms or so in a can).

Glenmore,

Thank you for this question, I was/am confused by these packaging too!
They are both Techron, but some say injector cleaner, some say tune up, etc, I don't get it?

But I do know that it is the ONLY snake oil which actually WORKS!

$10 for 12 oz of Techron is way high. I don't like to pay over $5.99 for a 12 oz Techron, or $9.99 for the 20 oz.
