Yeah I think they just got a little carried away :lol: I should also mention that I have an aftermarket 28" Fluidyne oil cooler and Mocal oil thermostat instead of the the factory dual cooler setup and I also have a modification that increase the oil pressure by almost half. The 09+ Renesis...

Thanks guys, I am keeping my OIC's short ( I always have out of habit). The excess RTV was dried so I couldn't really wipe it off so I left it as is. I always figured that was the reason for the high silicone readings. I was having some fuel dilution issues but they have seen to gone away in...

Bump. Since in my rotary I only get about half of my oil out during a change, I figure a can of this might help.

Sorry to bump such an old thread but I couldn't find much on this stuff. Will the stuff help a decent synthetic oil resist break down due to fuel dilution.

At least I can't get flamed for not searching :)

What's a 77 LUV?

Ah, thank you very much. Didn't know that. What are your thoughts on the Techron?

Alcohol in the gas tank? Would running a bottle of techron at half a tank do a better job of cleaning than running it further diluted in a full tank (14 gallons) of gas? Thanks.

Cool, I went to high school in Sarasota, I'll have to schedule a trip to visit the grandfather around this, he would love it.

Some people are marketing companies' wet dreams. I love the , "I put x in my engine and now its so much quieter" claims.
