I use Techron, about once or twice a year.

Chevron Techron, every six months.... (at least in the A8; haven't had the S4 that long yet)

I threw in a bottle of Techron at 30k. I'm closing in on 50k, and I'll probably do another one then

ditto, every 5k just before oil change since degrades the oil properties a bit. Seafoam also works.

I put in what the TSB tells me to put in. It's an Audi/VW injector cleaner from the dealer.

Default The jury's still out on Seafoam through the intake. My CEL's still on a week later.

Despite changing the oil, putting some Techron in the tank, and several days of driving, the blasted CEL isn't going away. I wonder if the carbon dislodged by the Seafoam fouled my plugs.

I'm going to have the codes pulled in the next few days.

I use Techron before every other oil change (every 6,000 or 7,000 miles)
