Redline SI-1 still one of the best?

[dino33]

Does anyone have an idea how much Sl-1 should be used for upper cylinder lubricating purposes?
Redline recommends one full bottle then 1/3 to 1/6 ounce per gallon thereafter. 2 cylcle marine oil is effective at 1 ounce per five gallon. Perhaps one ounce of Sl-1 and an ounce of Tcw3 per small tank fill?

yes. Save the bottle too instead of throwing it out at the gas station and you can reuse it for redline for maintenance dosage or for other product.

If there's some left in the crook, that'll even out on the next usage.

I was a religious SI-1 maintenance dose user for a a long long time, but have since switched to Renewable Lubricants Bio-Plus. ~$40 a gallon is hard to beat, and I see lower average misfire counts with it (vs. no measurable improvement over straight Shell V-Power with SI-1). SI-1 is definitely an awesome product, but the priceerformance ratio doesn't fit well with my usage pattern vs competitors.

^^^Does the RLI product have a good dose of PEA, or do they use something else in it??

 

[mkosem]

No idea on the PEA, definitely on the something else. My wallet and engine (at least, as far as the ECU tells me) have been happier since I switched to it. I'm not sure what it's deposit profile looks like, and am not super concerned about it at the recommended treatment rate. I've not seen anything first hand supporting it, but Terry Dyson apparently recommends it.

RLI is local to me, and I like supporting local businesses, so that sealed it for me.

It's suppose to have the highest pea rate going from what I've heard...
