I think the additive warning is a general disclaimer, not all treatments are to be used. Lucas cleaner is also safe.

I have not had a problem with Techron on my 18.

When you floor the pedal you need to really push it all the way down to activate what I call The Button. It takes full flooring and then there is extra acceleration.

Ok in snow, beware of rear end kicking out going fast around 90 degree turns. Lifting off throttle brings it back in.

Be careful with chains. No margin for error installing.

Techron is a solvent. If there is the possibility of of oil dilution I dump the oil soon there after.

Lucas fuel treatment every 2500 miles and Techron 500 miles before oil change. Don't rant without first trying.

I was getting a rattle from the plastic panel under the steering wheel on rough road surfaces at low speeds. I used 3 layers of duct tape inside the plastic panel to dampen the vibrations. Rattle gone!

IIRC there is no gasket, sealer must be used.

600 miles since reflash and still good.

After the ECU flash recall my low speed hesitation seems to be gone. I am getting 1 MPG more too. I wonder if the reflash is more than just for the rocker issue.

I thought so, but they refused free check.

He only said they failed w/o warning.

So flush is not a good idea, I was wondering about that.

Looking further at the instruction it appears the hose bracket is only removed, I initially thought a hose had to be disconnected. I may give it a go after the engine temp light hits 122 degrees.

I know, but I do not have a scanner to verify operating temp.

I avoid dealers whenever possible!

Showed the reprint to service writer. He said he was unaware of dipstick. Still wanted to charge 1 hour labor. Talked to service manager and negotiated .5 hr labor at $75. I do not think is worth the expense after all.

No other local dealers sadly.
