Does risoline high mileage oil treatment actually cleans the engine?

[Jackson_Slugger]

Ah, earlier I thought you meant the high ester content and ester type might be too hard on the seals.

Good to know that wasn't it

I don't think that would hurt the seals, but someone that formulates this sort of thing would be better to ask...

If you know what you are doing and monitor/switch filters it probably is fine, but with a engine with a lot of deposits and sludge it might be a bit fast acting almost like a flush possibly clogging things up like the screen...

Slow acting. But yes, change filter early

What product are we actually taking about? I see several different similar products.

High-Mileage Engine Treatment​

Rislone High Mileage Ring Seal Smoke Repair​

High Mileage Compression Repair​

High Mileage Engine Treatment. Here in God’s country it’s High Kilometre Engine Treatment.

I even called our local Cummins place and they guy had no idea what I was talking about. I gave him the part number and he said it superseded into a new number. When I typed that in it went the Premium Blue One Solution - So I have no idea where to find this.

Doesn’t sound like he looked up the new part number correctly

Will call a Canadian branch next week just to see if they have it - out of curiosity. Doubt I’ll buy any.

How do the TMP esters in Rislone actually clean especially in the ring pack area?

 

[RDY4WAR]

It depends on which TMP ester they're using, which we (unfortunately) have no way of knowing. TMP esters, like polyol esters and other di-esters, can vary widely in their performance. It's also possible the type they use may change from time to time, depending on cost and availability.

Thanks. Do the esters react with the deposits, dissolve them, or something else?

 

[Revving2Redline]

The two "cleaners" in Seafoam are isopropyl alcohol and light naphtha which have boiling points of 179°F and 194°F respectively. They'll be evaporated out of the crankcase before you get 5 miles down the road, leaving you with just some pale oil dilution for the remaining 95-295 miles.

Well said! Seafoam remains content on non adding PEA to their products as they believe it takes to much of it in their opinion to do any good. It sounds like they are trying to get milk from a bull . Outdated product with highly misleading claim to low information individuals.

Is TMP Esters what Lubegard Biotech consists of also?

Esters with good cleaning properties will slowly dissolve carbonous deposits. This is unlike alcohols ("flushes") which attempt to separate the deposit from the surface, sending a chunk of carbon material through the oil system.

Agree . Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. I think playing the long game of removal is safe especially if it's gunked up or gooey inside. I seen the guy in Europe who ran kerosene in that lil turbo diahatsu but pulled some fuses so it wouldn't crank over. It seemed to work, but it looked like a tedious job with lots of time on your back and probably quite a bit of a mess to clean up. I wouldn't have a concern running BG EPR but I probably don't need it as this car has had a bath of redline,M1 and that's about it.

So...Rislone HM or HPL EC, or Yamalube ring free, or Auto RX....?
I have 2 oil burners...2017 KIA 4 cyl with 69K miles, and Dodge 4 cyl with 169K miles.

I've been using top tier gas in both for a year now after learning. I had KIA dealer put Valvoline restore & protect in after 2nd PISTON SOAK... I did EPR 109 flush in both before learning of LM and AMSOIL flushes. I wish I could have gotten dealer to do a B-12 piston soak instead of just their overnight TSB222 soak. With what I am learning at least my Dodge is getting a bit more MPG..

A lot of people have had good results with Riselone.
I’ve never had a sludges engine but I do use it as regulator maintenance just to help keep everything clean. I just use cheap oil and can get Rislone 1qt bottles for less than a qt of cheap oil costs.
You could try and see if it helps. If so you probably can save the $4k.
Some people, as a last ditch effort, have reported success with using Berrymans chemtool as and engine flush in the oil(1 1/2 to 2 oz per court) put in a cold engine and the idled (not driven) for 10 to 30 min.
If a cleaner or flush reduces the consumption much ya know it’s just caked rings.
As someone mentioned, you could buy a lot of oil for 4k.
I’d try and clean it up and if not just let it burn oil. You might could go a long time still burning oil. The decide on an expensive repair or not

Rislone has a sweet , fruity smell so I believe it’s using esters of some type. The Rislone bottle states it frees up stick rings so I too use it for extra cleaning adding to my new M1 5W30 oil every 2nd or 3rd oil change .

32oz Rislone or run Restore and Protect. HPL EC will not clean the rings like the R&P will but does clean very well. EPR at the ends is not necessary but will clean too.
