How often? Petrol Additive Part No. 83192183738

Mauricio Palacios. MD · 05-27-2015, 05:08 PM

Hello partners. How often do you add the original petrol additive (Part No. 83192183738) to your gasoline tank? I remember that BMW used to recommend Techron based fuel additive. No more… This one is the only available. Thank you!

Chevron Gas contains it...most other brands of Gas licensed the additive from Chevron and use it..so I'd think that we are all 'good'...(although in Mexico, not sure if the gas there contains it ...hmmm )......

I use it every 3k miles. Just what BMW recommends.

I don't recall seeing anything in my owner's manual stating that I should use a fuel additive.

Merely a suggestion if less than 91 is used

Never seen this bottle in the US. I've seen the Techron looking bottles however.

I'm not so sure this is needed in the US.

This is just another way for BMW to make money.
