Does Chevron provide literature re. potential damage to 02 sensors using this product?

Doubt this would cause damage to your sensors. Ive used it back to back with no problems on a 2008 4 cylinder. Probably just have bad sensors.

I don't know the answer to this question. I have not seen the product Chevron specification sheet data for this item.

I have been using this for years and have not seen any fault lights yet. This stuff is great.

Contact Chevron for this technical information. It is my presumption that since Chevron puts Techron in its publicly sold gasoline at the pump, that this has not been an issue; however, for an explicit answer, contact Chevron technical department for a response.

The ride-on website answers that question. If your sensors are hermetically sealed they should be ok.

I had my mechanic diagnose which sensor was defective. Replaced it with the one from Amazon. Still not working. Mechanic checked the new sensor and it is defective. I'm stuck with a paperweight.

Eric:Like you, I was unable to get a direct read from either of my 2 remote sensors. It, supposedly, will use the readings to "average" the temps, but like you, I would love to see a direct read-out on the face of the stat!Sorry I couldn't help you . . .Mike

I also have one sensor dead two years after purchase on Amazon (P409S Retrofit TPMS). I am considering getting another complete system since if one battery is gone, can the rest be far behind? Given the good performance of three systems in three of my vehicles I might spring for another complete system. Peace of mind is priceless.

Before the reinstall, I put lithium grease on the rubber. Have not had any problems with the units.

I have had mine sometime, but according to OPTi shot, unless you hit straight down on the sensors they shouldn't get damaged. Mine have never been damaged by myself or several "hacker" type guests.....hope that helps

I thought to merely click on "I don't know," but that seemed a little too dismissive. The fact is, the jury is out--completely out as far as I am concerned--over whether ethane does damage to an engine, how much damage occurs if it does do damage at all, and then there are other problems it may cause--primarily in emissions. I know many race car drivers, and they are big believers in ethane, mixed in at very small doses, often with a very small dose of distilled water, and all this assumes that the engine is operating at a higher temperature than most engines on the road do. My preference is to stay away from ethane, if possible. (Often you don't know if it is mixed in with the gas you buy or not.) Whether MMO would help with ethane damage, I truly don't know. I suspect it would because of its lubricating properties, but I'm not sure. If you call the factory, I suspect they will just tell you it would since they kind of put themselves in the role of cheerleader for their product. So this is the best I can do. Maybe someone with more knowledge of chemistry than me could give a better opinion, although I have read arguments and counterarguments by chemical engineers and they don't agree with each other. As far as I'm concerned, it's still very much in the experimental stage. I suspect in 10 years either it will be getting used a whole lot more, or it will have disappeared from our gasoline entirely.

Well, actually I'm not quite sure... But what I can say is that when removing the orginal Toyota Bumper, I could not find any evidence of sensors or items as may appear to be related to a connection to automotive sensors.

I know for a fact it can be but that it is against code virtually everywhere to do that. This should only be an issue if you sell the home or there is an accident the sensors would have stopped. When I sold my house it came up in the inspection report. I had kept the sensors but the buyer also did not want them installed.

J. Hur,This will not be a problem. I have 3 different models connected to my hard wired/ plus battery system. A total of 6. Some with different sensitivity than others. Since they are all made by First Alert / BRK. I haven't had any problem with them for over 21 years now. Plus they all come with a wiring harmess pigtail, should you damage your old one . I have noticed some of the new replacment detectors have replaced the 9-volt battery with two AA . To be honest, I think it's better . I hope this helps you.Ronnie

No, this is for gas engine Only. There is another Chevron productos for diésel, techron diésel clean

There is an ebay seller right now that is giving a 2 year warranty. It's listed under "13 Gal. Touch less INFRARED SENSOR Trash Can- SHIP FREE" You can make a best offer to him and he has very good positive feedback.Sue

Just because you have an o2 sensor code it does not always mean the sensor is bad. You may have a problem with the wiring or an exhaust leak

Yes. I have mine now for the past year without issue. I also had just the sensors on other fixtures and they also did fine. The company is very responsive to questions.

No, it was not. I fixed that by removing the glass again and scraping the paint off the inside, (very carefully), of the glass over the sensors. After I did that, the sensors work fine once again.
