Follow up - I found a phone number for Redline on the older bottle and
called them. The guy I talked to said the new stuff is not as
concentrated as the older formula, so you need to use more. The UPC
code is the same, so they tried to hide the fact that they made it less
concentrated. Kinda disappointed in that but at least I know. Just
thought I'd share that in case anyone else is using it, and hadn't
noticed the change.
Kees, I use it to try to reduce valve seat wear, since my car has not
had the valve seats changed to hardened. Some folks on this list
recommended this product as being the best choice at the time. I'm just
trying to make the engine and head last as long as possible with minimal
rebuild expense. Do you think there is any harm in using it?
