Just got the car running and back from the shop on Thursday. And yesterday I got caught by a bag of wet plaster or some shìt that ripped off my RH front fender liner, undershroud and RH splash guard. LH front fender liner was also a casualty of being left hanging to rub against the tire

Not normally a user of snake oil (I'm looking at you, EW) but running this through the engine in between oil changes has resulted in SERIOUSLY decreased lifter chatter.

But, hey, if it provides you some benefit, then I'm all for it. I might use something like the cleaner on an older car that I may have just bought and the PO didn't take care of the engine.

I'm curious now. I think the only time i noticed chatter was when i tried out amsoil. After going back to Redline, I didn't notice it.
I did enjoy running Motul 300V but that was a special occasion when i did a 2day track day. I swear it was +15hp haha |

You can do the same thing with a 50/50 mix of oil and kerosene.

But it's difficult to argue with success. If you're using a high-quality oil and still getting noise that the cleaner eliminates, then who am I to say not to use it? I'm guessing it's the lube part, not the cleaning part, that is causing the noise reduction you are seeing and that you could get the same effect with the "right" oil.

Man, these are so tempting except it's going to be so common now haha. I wish they had some variation with the color and design. |
