Great stuff. Had longer than normal cranking starts, rough idle, and hesitation after using several tanks of walmart/samsclub premium fuel in my VW. Added the 5 in 1 and issue disappeared within a 1/4 tank. My EA211 seems to be fuel picky when compared to my other GDI engines which tolerate more bad fuel before showing performance degradation.
Need to avoid the non toptier fuel but sometimes that is the only/convenient/nearest station when on empty.
I'd have no issue with rotating that in when there was no Techron on the shelf.

I bought a few bottles of 'Shop Pro' Complete Fuel System Cleaner (High Mileage) which is 'distributed' by Best Parts of Memphis Tennessee on 'Closeout' at AZ for $3 a bottle (regularly $8.99). I don't know if it contains PEA but I felt a positive difference in my GDI Focus with it. The car seemed to rev freer and was smoother.

Do you feel you need a cleaner or are you just covering the bases?
I add Techron concentrate to my family's tanks annually.
I make several long (4 hour highway) trips a months and believe these runs contribute to the overall good health my engines have exhibited.
Cars do like to be run.

Does the stp have as much pea in it as redline? It's a 98 LeSabre. M doing my oil change soon,evry oil change at I use a tank of redline,before crc one stop.had the most PEA in them so I read.wondered if stp had same,or less?
I think you are referring to the STP Ultra 5 in 1, right?
I’ve tried it twice and I didn’t care for it. The two times I’ve tried it, my cars engine developed a rough cold start, which went away after fueling up after the STP treatment. The 5 in 1 contains an upper cylinder lubricant, which I suspect isn’t needed on newer engines and may have potential side effects, albeit temporary.
