Fuel quality plays a crucial role in a vehicle’s performance and lifespan. Lower quality fuels can leave behind harmful deposits on vital engine parts that when left untreated, may increase tailpipe emissions and could lead to noticeable drops in power and acceleration. 

High-quality fuels, meanwhile, are formulated with advanced cleaning additives that help keep vital engine components clean for optimal combustion.

One example is Caltex, whose patented Techron® technology is designed to help remove performance-robbing deposits and keep critical fuel-system components clean. The formulation has been refined over years of development and testing in all kinds of engine and vehicle conditions.

“We believe Filipinos deserve fuel that delivers real, lasting value. Through high-quality fuels, guaranteed pump accuracy, and full compliance with government requirements, including customer protection standards and fuel specification requirements such as gasoline octane ratings, Caltex helps drivers squeeze maximum distance and get more out of every drop. It’s how we’ve earned the trust of our customers around the world,” said Pongtorn Tangmanuswong, Chevron Philippines Inc.’s General Manager and Country Chair. 

Caltex with Techron® combines polyetheramine and the clean and glide technology in its blend to provide unsurpassed deposit control in the intake system and helps protect metal parts to glide smoothly. The lesser friction in the components means lesser resistance in the engine, so more power can be brought in the wheels while keeping emissions to a minimum.

In fact, according to its Borescope testing results, vehicles powered by Caltex fuels were found to exhibit cleaner intake valves compared with other fuels evaluated in the study.  A clean intake system can help support engine efficiency and responsiveness, helping drivers enjoy reliable performance and extra kilometers.

For motorists, fuel quality is one of several factors worth considering alongside proper vehicle maintenance and responsible  driving habits when looking to get more from every tank.
