I was there yesterday - they did not have the sale tag on the shelf - but I thought the price was high for just one - I asked for a scan and they confirmed the 2-fer....

I think that's for the 12oz bottle, not the 20oz. Amazon currently has the 20oz for $6.99...that comes out to the $13.99 BOGO.

Fill up at Standard stations no need to pay extra for Techron.

I'm looking at the techron concentrate plus at Walmart in person, this store it's $4.94 and it's 10 oz.

Back of bottle says treats up to 15 gallons, anyways that sale sounds like a good deal.

Curious to see how often you guys use Techron. I was using the 10 oz bottle in every other fill up. The old story if a little is good more must be better.

Per the makers of Techron, "it is recommended for use every 3000 miles or right before an oil change. You should limit your use of techron to no more than 5 bottles or treatments between oil changes."

If you use too much Techron, it can damage your fuel tank lining.

Thanks Warlord Might be a good idea to read the label of these things. Wait, real men don't need directions as Tim Taylor says.

How many oz do you use for each treatment?

Do you mean "Real Men don't need to read the Destructions?"

The manufacturer recommends using one ounce per gallon. I believe the size of the gas tank changes depending on what year your car is, but one treatment should be 18-19 ounces based on fuel tank size. For simplicity. it's probably okay to just use an entire 20oz bottle as long as you don't use it too often.

I don’t know if this is Techron/fuel-sender related - but I have watched with interest as I have filled my car up from empty with the ignition - on the gas gauge moves smoothly to about half tank and at 8 gallons it sits there for quite a while and then suddenly jumps up to 11 and moves up to full - I guess this is just the result of having two separate tanks?
