I use the trip B odometer to keep track of how many miles driven since the last time the vehicle was filled up. On my 2016 Honda CRV I have it set so that it automatically resets every time I feel up the tank. I then divide the number of miles by the miles per gallon for trip B that it indicates. That's how many gallons I can expect the fill up to take and it's usually accurate to within 1/10 of a gallon. I multiply that number of gallon by 4.45 and that's how many milliliters of Redline SL1 that I measure out into a 100 mm plastic translucent white graduated cylinder that I bought from McMaster Car, and then add that before each fill-up. I always were disposable gloves that I throw away when I'm done with that fill up and I store the graduated cylinder upside down in several plastic bags and throw away the innermost bag when I take the graduated cylinder out. Redline SL1 is a pretty messy oil base product and also it's very hydroscopic and it will attract water right out of the air even on the little bit that's left inside the graduated cylinder so you'll end up with a little bit of water in the bottom of the plastic bag and after a while it'll eat through the plastic bag and you'll find that the water and oil mix has protruded down to the next plastic bag. Also, every 10,000 Mi interval I use a higher dose at a of one bottle of Red-Line SL-1 per 20 gallons. My vehicle doesn't hold 20 gallons so I take an estimated guess about putting more than half a bottle in for the first fill up and then the remaining for the next fill up. I'm pretty sure my injectors are very clean because the engine runs like a screaming banshee out someplace very hot, if I ever stomp on it. It's kind of fun to drop it into sport mode and then open it up. In sport mode the CVT keeps the engine at higher RPMs with the ratios then it's constantly selecting and the ivteck opens up the second intake valve somewhere around 4,000 RPM and above and there is a quite noticeable Improvement in the amount of acceleration that you feel. The exhaust system seems to have two modes. Normal quiet and when the ivteck kicks in it sounds like there's a partial bypass baffle that has kicked in and it gets noticeably louder.
I consider the extra cost for the red line fuel system to be worth it because the engine always has that sporting performance ability if you ask for it.
The four pack of Redline SL1 on Amazon is the best price that I have found.
