What is Techron®?

All Caltex petrol grades now contain our technologically advanced, specially formulated and patented fuel system cleaning ingredient, Techron®.

Caltex with Techron® is unbeatable at cleaning vital engine parts in your car’s fuel system so your car and you can perform at your best.

Caltex with Techron® cleans your car’s intake system, including fuel injectors and intake valves. Unlike some other fuels, Caltex with Techron® minimizes any contribution to harmful deposits within the combustion chamber.

Fuel injectors are designed to accurately meter fuel to the engine and to deliver it in a precise pattern of fine droplets. The fuel passages are small so they are highly sensitive to deposits in the critical regions where the fuel is metered and atomized. Dirty injectors result in poor combustion and deliver poor vehicle performance.

Intake valves are like metal doors in the engine that open and close at specific times in the combustion cycle. By opening and closing, these valves control the air and fuel mixture entering your engine. Intake valve deposits adversely disrupt the flow of air and fuel into the engine and reduce performance.

Fuel injection clean-up in only one tank full

Caltex with Techron® cares for your car by removing injector tip deposits. In fact, only one tank full will clean fuel injectors and on-going use can help maintain a clean fuel system.

Clean intake valves are essential for efficient engine operation

Deposits form on the intake valve when the fuel, lubricant residues, recirculated exhaust gas or even improperly formulated fuel additives break down due to the high temperatures in your engine. These deposits can adversely affect the efficient flow of the air-fuel mixture into the engine which can affect fuel economy and lead to reduced power and acceleration.

Caltex with Techron® cleans up dirty intake valves and keeps them clean.
