Techron is not like Slick 50

The recommendation was for a good fuel injection cleaner & Techron is widely endorsed as the best (sob as I worked for another oil company). Most gasoline from the major oil companies includes a similar additive (in small quantity) to Techron but adding some every 5-10k miles is probably good (say probably because it is difficult to scientifically prove the improvement). Additives like Slick 50 are "oil lubrication improvers" and there is a great deal of snake oil salesmanship in that area. As the aricle provided by xq says, the oil additives are of dubious value.
