What are the differences between these two types of Techron ? All that jumps out is the high mileage bottle contains 2 oz. more liquid (12 vs 10) and some silly claim to stabilize fuel for up to 24 months (who cares about having a 2 year fuel stabilizer in Techron ?) … I want to hear that the high mileage version has more PEA or some other stronger add pack to better clean up high mileage engines than regular Techron.
Standard Techron vs High Mileage Techron?

I recently was wondering this as well. Happened to find this thread discussing it, and someone posted a link to a comparison between them from Chevron. I remember reading somewhere, maybe on the bottle? That the high mileage had something in it for older fuel pumps. Not sure if it was a lubricant or corrosion inhibitor, but the comparison table lists a corrosion inhibitor.

High milage has 10-30% PEA or Trade Secret
"regular" has 15-20% PEA or Trade Secret

So the high mileage version has less secret sauce in it. No I'm not cynical. (Or sarcastic)
Just run Redline SI-1
depends which way you look at it... glass half full or glass half empty?
IMO, I would look at Redline, Valvoline Restore and Protect Fuel System Cleaner, or Royal Purple.
But it is very hard to pass up the BOGO deals.

I'm more of a "the glass is twice as big as it needs to be" guy.depends which way you look at it... glass half full or glass half empty?
My wife says I’m: “a glass is half empty, dirty and cracked”!
