Reluctantly, I threw in a bottle of Redline's Total Fuel System Cleaner before headin down to Oregon for some 4 day weekend fun, and by the first time I had to fill the tank, I had noticed that my trip had exceeded 300 miles and there was still about an 1/8th of a tank left. Previously, I would average about 280 on the freeway, from Eastern to western washington. I was flabergasted to see my mileage increase so much. Also, as insignificant as it may seem, I also noticed a slight increase in throttle response, even when using the buttons in cruise control.

Now, i believe I will start using this product once a month to keep my runner's miles long and strong. And what a steal at only $6 a bottle. Kudos Redline.

 

You should try their synthetic tranny oil, MT-90. It's good stuff.

 

Great stuff! I found it at Pep Boys for $4.50. I had similar gains from my vehicles too. I've got everybody using it

 

I couldn't find Redline at my local Schucks, but they seemed to have 6 different "Total Fuel System Cleaners". I picked Super X for no real reason: http://www.penray.com/auto/total.htm

We'll see how it works!

 

Mark,
B&B Auto carries Redline products just so you know.

Salue

 

I've used Redline products in the past and can say that they're all pretty good. The injector cleaner I thought was real good. I just bought some Chevron Injector cleaner this time and reccommend it as well.

 

I wanted to follow up on this for the sake of the archives...

I just filled up today after running the first full tank of gas through the 1/2 tank that I used to put the above cleaner in it.

End results: "KICKIN'!" (that's a good thing)

I had been getting about 16.5mpg. At this fillup, I just recorded my first 18mpg tank in YEARS.

I'm sold... I'll be running a bottle of this through the engine at every oil change.


(oh... THANK YOU Salue.. I missed your response before)

 

What is my name? SKIP??

 

???

Okay, I'm confused!

 

I am just being dumb...I sell Redline and he did not buy it from me

Get it...name is SKIP...like he skipped over me....I am stupid I know

Mike

 

Mike at Xtreme offroad.com Will sell you all the Redline oil products you want at a fair price. He's A big supporter of the Toyota internet forums and a great guy to do buisness with.

 

Ahh! okay... Got it!

(oops!)

 

With as bad a gas milage I am getting with my 3.0, I think I will try the REDLINE tomarrow!
Thanks for the info.

 

There are a ton of people on the alltrac forum that swear by the MT-90 for their transmissions. i guess I will have to buy some and try it out!

 

Not to piss on the fire here, but when I installed Redline Oil on the following vehicles, the following occurred:

Mazda B2200: Blew the 3rd gear synchro, new tranny
95 SI: 3rd gear started grinding after Redline MTL

Note: I drove both these vehicles very very hard, so its not fair to say that it was all Redline MTL that caused the problems. But, it seems interesting that I developed tranny problems right after installing the fluid.

 

I had MT-90 in my truck for 30k and Toyota got to replace all the bearings in my 5-speed three months ago. Can't say for certain that it was the Redline or a bad setup on the tranny but it happened.

 

Ok now you guys are freaking me out. maybe I will buy Amsoil...

 

Wait, are we talking motor oil or total engine fuel cleaner here?

 

This is what we are all responding to.

 

oops :pat:
