Sea foam can also be added to your oil.. techron concentrate is fuel only...the stuff isnt that expensive considering what it does...around 13 bucks .
They recommend using techron concentrate every 3,000 miles. Carbon build up is nasty @.@... BTW these are oil base products...

Techron in the gas station is simular but not as concentrated as the "real stuff"

Thats why I tell people if you want to take care of your car fill it with "good" gas. Its worth the extra money to keep your car running better and longer!

somewhat related issue: any risk in using octane boosters? I used a product from Lucas a couple months a go and it seemed to make the engine accelerate harder

your imagination....Octane boosters do nothing..

Only time higher octane = more hp is when you have a fuel map to run that higher octane in your ECU.

if it does not matter and once you put in 91 ull be fine then why dont you just pump 89 and a year later pump the 91?

they put a small amount in thier gasoline and it will not get rid of carbon buildup that already exsists from previous damage. You should always be running these brands inorder to prevent build up in the first place

Its not expensive, only a few bucks for a bottle of the stuff at most.

I use the stuff every once in a while. Gives me the warm fuzzies that im taking care of my engine.

my girl just called me and all the gas stations are out of 93 and 89..... now whats the down fall of putting 87 in? i told her just to put a gallon in but i have to get around and i might have to full up with the 87 oct...

That's really strange. Around here 87 is ALWAYS the first thing to run out, never had any problem getting 93 octane though.

I would strongly advise against using anything below 91 octane.

Your engine does have a knock sensor that will adjust timing if you put in a lower octane gas. You engine will probably lose some power due to the timing, but I highly doubt you'll damage your engine by filling it up with 87 a few times. Just listen for engine knock, if you don't hear it, your engine will be fine.

innrfusion · 09-22-2008, 05:57 PM

dont try any hard acceleration either ull be ok

asdf · 09-22-2008, 06:01 PM
