Redex
« on: 09 April 2010, 08:34 »
Found some when hunting for something in my wardrobe, and I just wanted to know if I should use it in my engine and is it worth it, or should I bin it?

If it will clean my engine, like is says it will, even in the slightest I dont see any harm in using it, but I wanted to check with the experts (you guys) first.

What about if you run it on normal unleaded? :rolleyes: :embarassed:

Would it make a difference then?

Was going to ask the same question, as it is a 2nd hand car and I don’t know what the previous owner fed it.

I now feed the beast with V power though.

Do mean Redex specifically or fuel additives in general.
Many people use Millers Octane additive for the additional octane/knock protection.
