Why did Chevron lower the % PEA in their Techron Concentrate Plus

I only found two references to the thread title:

Search results for query: Why did Chevron lower the % PEA in their Techron Concentrate Plus

Your comment about "no previous answer" was intriguing. There are 10 pages in the second reference and your posting name is not seen unless you were posting under a different name.

If you are referring to, "It has been established repeatedly that no one oil company, blender, or formulator is going to give you an answer because of NDAs and IP," this an industry fact.

Your posting title, "Why Did Chevron lower the % PEA in their Techron Conentrate Plus" indicates you knew for certain that Chevron did indeed lower their % PEA and then asks why did they lower it.

I have read several of your posts on different subjects, very impressive. So, do you want to a crack at the answer to my question,

Why did Chevron lower the % PEA in their Techron Concentrate Plus?​

I think he's saying he doesn't know and you won't find out. So, guess away...

Or did you just want to hear "because inflation" or "because corporate greed" bah humbug.

My question still stands: What proof do you have that Chevron lowered the % of PEA in any of their Techron fuel additive products? Conjectures don't count.

Before making a statement or accusation, you should have some verifiable evidence to bring before the public.

Yes, an SDS is not a formulation and only gives approximate ranges, especially where trade secrets are involved. And yes, I'm making the assumption that their trade secret listed as 01154100-5179P on the SDS is PEA, or another version of it.

This tread for me has reached an end of life. This is my last post in it. MolaKule, I agree, "It has been established repeatedly that no one oil company, blender, or formulator is going to give you an answer because of NDAs and IP."
