Are you looking for fast or over time?
Fast - there used to be (I think they still make it but not sure) Mopar and GM combustion cleaner.
Slow - the Redline will work over time - I haven't tried it doing the fast method of pouring it into the running engine.

I don't think the SL-1 is designed for vacuum sucking in to a running engine, that would be more in the Seafoam's lane I think.

I don't think it is either but who knows what people do lol.

Not a seafoam fan here, though I hear it works well on old carbed boats.

I have used the Mopar and GM combustion/top end cleaners and they work well. I actually use the mopar on my wife DI motor to clean it periodically.

The guy i'm trying to help out should see this thread as i sent him a link to it.

I haven't used it on the Ram, but Seafoam cleared up a junkyard Nissan V6 for me very well quite a while back.

It was Corey aka hemi395 who boroscped his engine but the thread is over at BITOG, lol. Look up redline si-1 boroscoped. There was at the time 3 different boroscoped piston tops and all 3 showed impressive slow cleaning. We were gonna go a thing still might at some point, I even recently bought a boro. by the third time the engine was like new, and this thing was toast. Of note for whatever reason, chris fix did not get these results with many different cleaners including techron. He tried many PEA additives, I asked him to consider trying redline, he moved on. But this was one of the three guys and that post was nefore this video, this is the follow up. Results are undeniable, I guess it shouldnt surprise us this brand is the best but for sure there is one or two million bitogers that skin boils when they hear that, lmao??

You can skip to 2 minute mark, and of note that was treatment number three. And I can say for sure if you were to do three bottles in 3 tanks, you will want to change the oil asap. In fact these days when I use redline si-1 one is right before oil changes on me and the wife's suv and never early in the oil change interval.

Hi guys. I'm the one that Wild one is helping here. Thanks again!

I already have a bottle of SL-1 in my possession and just found some Mopar Combustion Chamber here locally at my dealership. Seems to be out of stock everywhere online.

Any tips for application? Do I just warm it up, then let it idle and just spray enough to load up and keep it from stalling until the can is gone? Then close hood and let it sit for 2-3 hours?

Thanks Mike,i was hoping you and Corey would join in.

The Red Line is to treat in tank, so dump the bottle before your next fill up. The Mopar one looks like you're on the right track, here's a write up I found that makes sense.

Use it and do not have any second thoughts about if it works or not(redline sl-1). I just ran 3 bottles in three fill-ups back to back to back. I did not do any borescope tests or anything but I can absolutely notice a difference. The idle is absolutely stable. my MPG absolutely did increase. I will be from here on out using one bottle every 3k miles as suggested on the bottle. Wish I had a borescope to get visual on but without a doubt it cleaned up some stuff.

Next time Im in reno I bring the boro, we almost went this week, but I was off my anniversary date by 2 years, lol. I thought it was year 15 but it was 17, so we like to do reno trips every 5 years. I actually bought the boro for plumbing reasons, but good for many many things from gutters, heating ducks, to looking under buildings etc and oh yeah combustion chambers. I bought a 50 dollar one with screen, but if I'm not mistaken there are 15-20 dollar ones that you use with the phone.

PEA was rated tops in a long ago study but the only product I can find with it is Red Line SL-1 in the ingredients label.

Even inventer Chevron changed their trade name Techron without it in the ingredients list.

I'm cynical having worked in corporate America too long. I suspect "just as good as PEA" cost reduction for same price.

I'd like to use some of this stuff on my wife's car we just bought her, a used 2021 Toyota Highlander with 42k miles on the clock. That's a lot of miles for only 1.5 years, so I suspect (hope) they did a lot of highway driving, but I also bet they went by the 10k mile OCIs, so I thought I'd give this a try. That model has GDI + PI, so it shouldn't be too bad, but I figure a little early owner loving could do no harm.

Looks like it's best to run it through a full (?) tank of gasoline, right before an oil change? Is going 3 tanks in a row before oil change for the really bad cases? Thanks for any input you guys.

it says safe for gdi on sales sheet, dunno the facts on that. Can you put a catch can on her engine? That would be worth doing for sure on a gdi.
