There are several Techron products that create confusion. You need to use Techron Concentrate. I suggest every 8K or 3X/year, but nothing is exact about that. All that is known is that it works and should be used routinely.
Techron cleans injectors. The 4 cyl turbo engines are prone to hard starting with fouled injectors, especially in the early fall with first cool weather on morning starts. The low volatility summer grade RFG-II gas seems to promote fouling then has trouble starting. More importantly, it cleans the piston crowns and cylinder heads*. There is good reason to expect that it also cleans the piston ring lands.
We had a posting on the perf BB where a borescope was used to see piston tops and cylinder heads showing clean bright aluminum on a very old Saab engine. So there is no doubt.
So if you do not use it, you can expect the above fouling problems.
