The Clean & Glide Technology™ in Techron® is designed to coat and protect metal surfaces. This helps to reduce friction and wear, keeping your engine clean to deliver optimum performance.
The ability of Techron to protect metal surfaces was proven in the High Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR) lubricity test. The HFRR lubricity test is a standard test for diesel, designed to determine its ability to protect metal parts in the fuel pumps that rely on diesel as a lubricant. The HFRR lubricity test was modified to safely test the lubricating properties of petrol.
Techron with Clean & Glide Technology contains components, which are designed to coat and protect metal surfaces, reducing wear by up to 38%1 and friction by up to 41%2 compared to our previous formulation.

Engines work best when they are clean. Caltex with Techron® is proven to clean vital engine parts effectively, helping your engine burn fuel more efficiently, and making your journeys more economical for you.
The benefits of our Clean and Glide Technology™ were proven in Chevron’s internal laboratory tests. Laboratory tests simulating the build-up of Techron in the crankcase lubricant with continual use demonstrate the efficiency improvement built in to our new Clean & Glide Technology.
In controlled laboratory tests simulating continual use, Clean & Glide Technology produced results, which showed 2-3% less fuel consumption when compared to our previous formula4.

Techron, the special ingredient in all Caltex gasolines, makes them unsurpassed at keeping vital engine parts clean, helping your car perform at its best. Lower quality fuels can leave harmful deposits in your car's engine. As these deposits accumulate over time, your car may begin to hesitate during acceleration, knock or lose power. Gasolines with Techron are unbeatable at cleaning up and avoiding deposits. There's no better way for you to protect and maintain your engine's performance than by using a gasoline with Techron.
Many other gasolines use a detergent additive that's based on polybutene amine (PBA)-based chemistry. PBA additives do an adequate job of controlling intake system deposits–but only if the dosage in the fuel is high enough to do the job. In recent years, the concentration of PBA in many gasolines has fallen so low that the gasolines do not keep intake systems clean. And if a gasoline uses a concentration of PBA-based additive that's high enough to keep the intake system clean, the additive itself can contribute materially to combustion chamber deposits. Excessive combustion chamber deposits can cause an engine to need a higher octane gasoline to avoid knock or loss in performance. These excessive deposits can also cause higher tailpipe emissions. In contrast, Techron provides unsurpassed intake system deposit control, while simultaneously minimizing any contribution to harmful combustion chamber deposits.
Yes, and not just your car – but any vehicle you drive. This is because Techron, a special additive in all Caltex gasoline, cleans deposits from your engine (that would have come from inferior-quality fuel) and prevents future build-up.
No. While both based on polyetheramine chemistry, each is optimized for its particular application. Gasolines containing Techron helps clean engine deposits left by low quality gasolines and helps keep engines clean through regular use of a lower additive dose, while a bottle of Techron Concentrate Plus added to your fuel tank provides a quicker clean-up of deposits left by lower-quality gasoline, through a higher additive dose.
If you regularly use a high-quality gasoline such as Caltex, you probably don't need Techron Concentrate Plus. However, should you occasionally fill up with lower quality gasoline, you may need Techron Concentrate Plus to help clean up deposits that can build up over time. In addition, if you have an engine that is sensitive to deposit formation, or if your vehicle is regularly used under severe conditions, you may also benefit from using Techron Concentrate Plus.
Deposits on carburetors, fuel injectors and intake valves can cause your car to produce higher emissions, which contribute to air pollution. Gasolines with Techron are unbeatable at cleaning up and avoiding these deposits, giving you reduced emissions. And unlike the deposit control additives used by many oil companies, gasoline with Techron cleans up intake system deposits while minimizing the contribution to emission-causing combustion chamber deposits.
Knocking and pinging are generally caused by improper combustion in your engine. If the fuel-air mixture auto-ignites somewhere in the cylinder, the auto-ignition combustion wave can interact with the spark-initiated combustion wave, causing the vibration you hear as knock or ping. An increase in engine load, temperature, compression, spark-advance, air-fuel ratio and combustion chamber deposits all contribute to the tendency for an engine to knock. The use of higher octane fuel reduces this tendency. Deposits in the combustion chamber can increase you engine's appetite for octane by increasing the compression ratio. Fortunately, gasoline with Techron minimizes any contribution to potentially harmful combustion chamber deposits.
