RSR RAN-UP - who is using and do you recommend

http://shop.microimageonline.com/RSR...-RSR-ranup.htm

What are y'all's thoughts? Curious as to how to install (with oil change, or pour in, or what). Does it seem to help even if you are already running full synthetic oil?

Thanks,
Pat

I read the review on motoiq.com and they found some gains... they're a trustable site too, I might give it a shot this summer.

People who use this say it works. I haven't tried it yet, but probably should. We do keep it in stock.

In regards to the Yaris, how much of the bottle goes in to the crankcase? I'm interested also.

Garm, what are the instructions for use? I am wondering if you should only use when doing a fresh oil change, or if you can put in your engine at any point.

Please advise when you can.

You can add it anytime, but because of the cost, I would add it at an oil change.
They say you can even skip an oil change, since it coats the interior surfaces.

its it just an additive or extra lubricating properties or is it a form of micro lubricant that soaks into the metal and prevents stuff from sticking to the metal surfaces.

Snake oil nonsense. save your money. It will not work. BTW, most everything else will wear out before your engine.
