I run some every 5,000 miles.
both the Equinox and Traverse.
Traverse is about to hit 140,000 and yet to have a dealer trip because of excessive carbon.
I do occasionally get a few misfires. Usually when its cold weather.... and what do I see.... that im at about 4000 miles since my last treatment.
The misfires cause little blips in the tach- and when I scan, I can see 5 misfire here and there.
But after I run a bottle. I dont see the blips for a while.
It appears to help with carbon that builds up on the lip of the valves sealing surface.
When I did my plugs at 100K, yeah there was carbon on the back side of the valves.
But, as long as I can keep misfires away....
By the way, BWM/Kia/Hyundai also resell Techron.
Kia also has Bulletins on running it on their DI engines.
