I'd like to see it too and it is possible, but that's a big ask just for fun. There is a titration test that isn't widely available that's been posted about by @urman https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/analysis-pea-in-different-cleaners-techron-archoil-oilsyn-pro-tec.376712/

I would not use more than the prescribed amount with Techron. There are other forum threads about Techron already recommending a fairly high dose at 1oz/gal.

Refiner would not. Terminal...because its literally their job.

No its added at the terminal to the truck. A truck going to non top tier station may have 100mL of additive added while the top tier may be 300-500mL.

Yes, but those additives are certified by the EPA to meet the requirements. Changes in the base fuel would not significantly change the performance.

Other than the additive package and amount added to the truck it would be the same.

I had been just N of Greenville on I85 recently and witnessed rigid foam insulation like 4'x8' come off a truck and just floating around in heavy traffic. Pretty unsafe for different reasons.

That is a ridiculous price for a gal of coolant, especially 50/50.

No, I saw commercial for it, have no interest in actually watching it, just read a spoiler.

Then just top off with distilled water every few months.

Those temperatures are totally acceptable...most cars run that hot by design. I don't think you need freeze protection in your climate, so run a 70/30 mix (Water/coolant). Water is a better heat transfer fluid than glycol, but you need the coolant for freezing and anti-corrosion. If you're...

This is not a good assumption. If a filter has more surface area it may be compensating for more restrictive media. The net effect could be better, worse, or the same...anyone's guess. You need actual data to know.

The "R" if 51R implies the positive battery post is on the right. So there's no way that is different.

The Platinum has a lower CCA which may bump it below the minimum spec for the CRV? Or maybe they know how bad Honda's battery management is and don't want to be warrantying AGMs for them.
