Chevron Techron - I have not paid attention to adding Techron only prior to an oil change.
2016.5 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring
purchased Oct 2016 currently about 36,000 miles
most driving is more or less local with a trip on the highway for about 20 miles each way every week to two weeks Car only occasionally has done longer trips such as to NJ or Cape Cod from CT currently driving about 5000 miles a year
Oil has been Castrol synthetic then dealer switched to Mazda synthetic in future wont be returning to dealer
I change oil almost once a year, as I feel that less is overkill and its full synthetic. (live in North Central CT)
I only use CITGO gas which is Top Tier
I have used a bottle of Techcron maybe twice in the cars life. (on a mostly empty tank) - I want to continue use of it but I don't want to do too much - overkill
I am considering not using a top tier gas, but even if I do, could I just dollop a few ounces every gas fill, for every fill? Or go maybe a few months in between. And yes. do I NEED to get the oil change after I use the tank of Techron?
(only reason I am considering discontinuing CITGO Top Tier is for political reasons. CITGO is owned by Venezuelan Govt. Thats the only Top Tier gas in my immediate neighborhood)
Someone please advise on usage of Techron with my current situation(Top Tier gas) and maybe if I start using a non Top Tier gas. and of course the skinny on the oil change.
