Cheveron's fuel injector cleaner...is it helpful?
Just want to see if Cheveron's fuel injector cleaner is ok to use once every 2 oil changes to keep our fuel injectors clean or is it waste of money?

Gas already has detergents in it that keep fuel injectors clean. You can get the exact same benefit simply by buying Chevron gas, it has the exact same cleaning agents in it. Shell, Mobil, and BP gas will be just as good. As long as you stay away from unbranded or "cheap" gas stations, then you will have little to worry about as far as having a clean fuel system.

Chevron Techron is the only fuel injector cleaner I will use, but using it that much is a total waste of money. Once every 10k - 12k miles is fine.

C10 is worth it. Octane Booster does almost nothing.

I've tried almost all of them in various cars over the years, the only consistently good noticeable results I got was with Redline S1.

It's a 96-104oct.. They have trademarked the name, somehow, but C10 is also a measurement.
Crude Fractions
Most hydrocarbon fuel is derived from “crude” oil, which is a mixture of hundreds or thousands of different carbon-based chemicals. These different chemicals are separated, transformed and blended to form the the final fuel products which we purchase. Crude “fractions” are generally categorized by the number of carbon atoms per molecule, and mostly separated by their boiling properties. Approximate numbers of carbon atoms of crude factions are listed below:
C1 - Methane, natural gas
C2 - Ethane
C3 - Propane
C4 - Butane
C5-C10 Naphtha, Gasoline
C10-C16- Kerosene, Jet fuel
C10 C20 - Diesel, Gasoil
C20+ Heating, Bunker (Ship) Fuel, Cracker Feed
