Wow... Pretty much around the time I fell out of the womb. LOL. I'm sure BJACH has changed a lot since then. I don't really visit all to often though. Part of the 509th.
After the first Kreen 1K interval on my wifes 03 Acura MDX, I was planning on dropping the Edge oil and Pureone filter at 2K miles total but I may just do another 1K Kreen interval and then drain at 3K miles total on this Castrol Edge OCI.
The oil still looks light brown and does not smell at all like fuel. The BG 44K gas additive that was used the first 1K miles of the OCI(for some head carbon build up) before any Kreen, does not seem to have effected the oil at all. Before I used the kreen the oil did have a fuel smell. Now it feels and smells like normal oil.
Should I chance it or change the oil filter now?

I would just add another dose and continue to 3K.
Kreen does not seem to have a cumulative effect,after 1K
the oil level drops by almost the corresponding amount of Kreen used.

Part of me was thinking of adding a pint of Kreen to my last 1,500 miles of a 3-4K cleanup interval I'm about to start after my oil change on the Civic this weekend(trying to clean it up with T6 HDEO and MMO).
Sounds like a good idea.

It looks like I can only buy it in Quart sizes, not a problem. What's the typical final price from buying online at KanoLabs?

My only concern was the first 1K miles of this OCI, I used BG 44K in (3) tanks of gas(did not have Kreen in the oil yet). That got me throught the first 1K miles of this new OCI. Still not sure if a lot of 44K got in the oil and may shorten the OCI because of dilution. Then I went to Kreen in the oil for the next 1K miles. Now I am at 2K miles on this OCI total and was thinking of doing the 2nd Kreen interval. Just wish I knew for sure that the oil was not ruined by the 44K. Nuts.
Would installing the new PCV have any effect in helping eliminating the fuel/44K in the oil? I did this a week ago.
Maybe, I will just run this current OCI until 3K miles without adding anything else. Next fresh OCI I can start over with using only Kreen in the oil for an OCI...

If you didn't add it directly to the oil, unless you are having fuel beating up on your oil in frequent short tripping/cold starts/long idle situations, then 50/50 of hwy/city driving for another 1,000 even with another dose of Kreen shouldn't bring you to a critical point on your oil. I would be curious to see a UOA afterward.
If you had added the BG 44 to the OIL, and put Kreen in on top of that, I'd be somewhat more concerned with another dose and 1,000 miles on top of that over the course of severe service. If you are seeing plenty of 15-20+ mile trips and not extreme short tripping/city driving etc, you should be fine, IMO.

Thanks. The 44K went in the gas tank... The oil does not smell like fuel like it did right after using 44K. Thinking it must have burned off. I am waiting on changing the oil for another 1K miles. Thanks again for your input.

No problem. If you can top off at all, put some fresh oil in there, since the Kreen may evaporate off more on this last dose. That should replenish your operating viscosity some. FWIW, I wouldn't personally run Kreen treatments beyond 3,000 miles in total. So definitely drop it by the 3,000 mile mark either way.

The oil reads full on the dipstick but I can always just drain out a quart or two and refill will some fresh oil before pouring in the second round of Kreen. I will take a sample and send in after this current OCI.
Probably will not send in a sample if I add additional oil.

Oh, I see. Well go with the route you had in mind, first. We aren't in the middle of summer yet anyway.
I'll just add the kreen and not worry about draining and adding fresh oil. The current oil still looks and feels great so I'll go another 1K on this fill...
Trav any idea if this is a good deal for Kreen. This is from the Genius at Work 620.
4 Quarts Kreen, 1 plastic dispenser, Shipping and Handling for $66.50 Either was you look at it, it looks like you either can say you get a free dispenser (worth $16) or free shipping (worth $17) for the savings of $16.50.
I know they run offers all the time once you order, so is this a good deal or should I wait for the next flyer for something better or a smaller quantity. I see they have a empty bottle guarantee. Use it and if you aren't happy return the empty can for a refund.

Yep that a decent price including shipping.
This Thread started on July 2nd, 2010. That is a little over 9 months ago, and all of the results from users of Kreen has been positive, it sounds like this product is a winner.
The OP seems to be very satisfied with this product, he has used other oil additives that did not measure up to Kreen, this product seems like it is the best bang for the buck if you have a dirty engine.
I hope to hear other members testimonials with this product, it sure seems like a WINNER and not like a product that was pushed with PAID POSTERS that showed very little results.

What about using Kreen on a long trip of 1K miles and then the return trip of 1K miles, all highway driving at 60 to 70 MPH. Would this Kreen be a positive or a negative for use in a long highway mile trip?
I'm thinking of making a trip to Georgia soon and wanted to know about using this Kreen in my 4Runner, V6, SR5. The total miles I would be using this Kreen for would be 3K to 4K then a OCI.
Any suggestions on the dosing and intervals would be appreciated. I have PYB in the crankcase now with about 1K miles on the oil.
I might have some fuel dillution since I do use a mix of TC-W3 and Chevron Techron in the fuel at every fill up, 3 ounces of each.

If you did that, I'd imagine you should carry a quart of makeup oil since the Kreen may evaporate out over time, being that you will be traveling that many miles.
Hi Jim, I usually keep my oil at the full mark in my 4Runner. So now, I have a full crankcase of PYB 5w30. From what I have read in this thread, you are supposed to use a full crankcase of oil and then add 3 ounces of Kreen for every quart of oil....run it for 1K miles....then add 3 ounces for every quart of oil run that for 1K miles and then change your oil.
Since I have an oversize filter on the 4 runner, I use about 6 quarts of oil at my oci. So I would stick to the 16 ounces of Kreen to make matter simple.
Are there any people who have any insight into my proposed usage of this Kreen product, if I order it for use on a long trip? I would not be using Kreen in my fuel since I'm sure that everything is clean with the TC-W3 and Chevron Techron at each fill up.
