What's the deal with the techron injector cleaner before doing an oil change?
also is it even needed on newer cars and with modern gas has cleaning agents already like shell?

I forgot to update this thread from my Fall 2016 oil analysis. I'll update again in about a week, because I just had my oil changed again for the 40K service at almost 43,000 miles.
All is good as expected. Ran a full tank of fuel treated with Techron before this (and every) oil change. Wear metals are low-low-low (half of what you usually see posted around here). Viscosities seem a little low, but well within grade, and I did a lot of extended & higher RPM runs on a few of my fall country road runs before hibernation.

Damn, I just had 1st change done and forgot to take Blackstone kit in when I dropped car off (also to have recall addressed). Next time. Always find the analysis interesting. Thx for posting yours.

Another very good UOA from 2 weeks ago during the 40K service. Low-low-low wear metals.

Got my second 5W-50 analysis back from Blackstone at 15K. Looks great. I have abused the GTS in the mountains of NC and enjoyed it as did the car. We are doing everything correctly and the 991.1 GTS is cooperating likewise.
