I'm looking at buying a newer Hyundai Sonata SE and me being me was thinking about all the pedantic maintenance things I'm going to do to it.
Looking at datasheets, it looks like Techron Concentrated Fuel System cleaner probably has about at much PEA (datasheet says 25-45% but some anecdotes say probably ~32%) as Redline SI-1(~28-34%) and Redline recommends something like 1.5-2oz per 10 gallons of gasoline as maintenance treatment, so I was looking and there's that Techron marine fuel system treatment that's sold in 4oz bottles it appears to have the same concentration of PEA as regular Techron Concentrated and also some stuff that I guess is supposed to help stabilize ethanol fuel, I was wondering what peoples opinions are of using a 4oz bottle of this in the tank every fill up as a maintenance dose because it seems like a convenient way to add a small dose to the tank without having to pour out of a larger bottle and measure it out. A 4oz bottle of this cost about as much as a 12oz bottle of the regular though but with the 12oz I'd have to measure out a small amount and running a full 12oz bottle every tank would easily excede Chevron's recommendation of using a max of 5 bottles between oil changes, assuming I change the oil every 7500-10000mi and get about 500mi per 18.5gal tank using the 4oz bottles would be about the equivalent of using 4 or 5 20oz bottles over the OCI.
