Broke-In!!! Poppin’ bottles (of Techron)

[ShadowOfTheTree]

We celebrated with a bottle of Techron and a tank full of mid-grade. I plan to get an oil change at the dealership on Saturday. Just a little preventative maintenance, not a Ford suggestion.

I find most additives to be worthless but there's no doubt that this stuff is legit. Well known for working miracles in the Corvette world!

Techron is indeed good stuff and solved an issue with my outboard motors.
That said, IMO, you are wasting your money for a feel good move.

In my experience with the 3 times I’ve checked my mileage, the digital mpg estimator has been high anywhere from 1 to 2 mpg compared to the real life calculation.

That was on my way home from my third tank of gas. 28.8 mpg first tank, 29.8 mpg second tank.

I have not checked mpg manually yet.

Ouch Ouch Ouch

I just noticed your avatar.

I hope you had worn protection as that Cactus looks awfully prickly.

Motor: Not yet broken in at all
Fuel system: Pristinely clean since it's new

OP: *starts pouring in fuel additives*

So what was the issue with your injectors that you felt the need to use a fuel system cleaner?

Pretty much every car will overestimate fuel economy by 10% or so. The only way to know for sure is to combine a full tank with 4th grade math.

I will have Mav oil changed to MOBIL 1 within a few days of ownership. Have used only mobile one and all my vehicle's since the 1980s and I am happy to say I've had very reliable cars. That being said, these cars I've had in the past were Mostly Toyotas....except for a Honda Accord that was an excellent car, too. All had only Mobil 1

Never considered Techron in a brand new vehicle. What is the reason to use this?
