High Performance Lubricants Engine Cleaner

[kenny91]

I love that this doesn't use harsh solvents. It seems like a much safer way to get rid of sludge and varnish without messing up the seals. Just tossing in a quart for a couple thousand miles is super easy. Definitely worth a shot if you want a cleaner engine without the risk.

Auto RX not responding, HPL cannot send to me, looks like I need to buy Rislone from ebay.

Since someone else resurrected this oldie;
What did you do about your Turbo drain line?

The problem is still there. I suspect that it needs physical scrubbing. But anyway I have another 2 bottles of rislone, so I will use it in my next oil change too.

The wire from inside a motorcycle clutch cable, bicycle brake cable, or old fashioned mechanical speedometer with spray carb cleaner worked to chase the buildup out when I did my nephews. They're strong enough to push through, yet flexible enough to follow bends. I've also used them to clean out other small tubes. Just a suggestion if you end up pulling it apart to clean it.

Is there any extra cleaning EC would do if you’re already running HPL Supercar?

No. In fact the EC is watered down from their regular oils for a more gentle cleaning so you don’t overload your filter.

watered down? - so you can run 6 quarts of it?
Point being it’s made for 1+5 - I have run it 25%?
Base stock and ad-pack are boosted as well …
Would not want anyone to misunderstand that …

It results in a watered down oil sump when run as per the instructions from the company when compared to a full oil change with their PCMOs.

That’s better …
It is a mono - it’s not thinning either …

@High Performance Lubricants I purchased two of bottles of HPL EC 30 to be used in a Mazda CX5 NA GDI engine. I have couple of questions.

1. Does the EC 30 works better in a spring or fall OCI for PNW weather (not super cold, but wet rains).
2. I have Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0W-20 and Mobil 1 ESP X2 0W-20 on hand for this car. Which among these two oils works synergistically well with HPC EC 30.

The EC 30, blended at the appropriate 1-to-6 ratio, won't significantly affect the cold cranking viscosity of the oil. If a 0W-20 is borderline 0W-xx (ie: 6,000-6,200 cP in CCS), it might raise it to just inside 5W-xx range, but the impact would be relatively insignificant in the real world. There's no restriction as to the time of year. Use when convenient for you.

EC uses an HDMO add pack that isn't overly unique in its additive chemistry. Thus, it should blend sufficiently with either of those oils. If it was me though, I'd use ESP, but that's just me holding the Euro ACEA specs in higher regard than the API specs.

thanks, I have been reading M1 EP line contains Alkylated Naphthalene as one its ingredient which could offer better synergy with EC 30?
