Fuel System Cleaner additive - Use it or not?
 
Guys,

I got a free bottle of the Red Line SI-1 Fuel System Cleaner. I have never used this kind of additive and I am not sure ifs worth trying and using it once. I am just thinking can this thing harm the engine somehow.

Can I use on EJ205?
If yes, should I change the oil right after the fuel tank (with additive) becomes empty?

Please advise.
Thank you.

it wont harm anything and you wont need to change the oil after using it. what good it will do is debatable but it wont damage anything as such

its a fuel system cleaner so videos of inside of engine aint gonna me much use. i've seen gummed up fuel lines & injectors but thats on my wee mk2 golf because it lies for 6-9mths a year - so id throw a fuel treatment through it each year before its summer use.

likes of scoob is my daily so no need for likes as the fuel is continually moving as such
