3 bottles came in the mail this morning.
That is the exact feeling I got from a bottle in my 2006 Sienna Limited 3.3L v6 after driving to work, smooth.
I going to add to the Avalon and the FRS and not tell the family.
Think they'll notice?

I recently got an oil change and noticed a bit more noise coming from the engine bay after about 100 miles or so. I drove down to RS-R and added another half bottle of RAN*UP, and the car was much quieter after around another 30 miles or so.

I was surprised that I noticed the difference, especially with the intake, tune, and exhaust on the car.

LubroMoly MoS2 Anti-Friction Engine Treatment (300 ML) (LM2009) : Amazon.com : Automotive


Now I am getting a oil cooler prototype this week that, here, in the desert north of phoenix, is a must have item. Its hotter here than in Cali.
How much of that moly do you put in oil? does it repalce oil? IE: if i need 5qt in engine do i put 4.5 and then .5qt of moly?

I don't think you will get a response from him, he has been banned for ages. Unless you can find his reincarnation of course.

Is anybody else still using this product? I tried it out yesterday and it really does make the engine feel a lot smoother.

I tried Liqui Moly MS2. Hard to beat $8. Next time I will try their ceramic additive which is like $25 bucks. See if it provides at least half the gains seen here.

I only used about half a bottle of the Ran-Up so it came out to about $25 worth. The effects are surprisingly better. Girlfriend even asked if my car was quieter. I just want to see if anybody is having any adverse effects. Otherwise it seems very much worth the money.

If you want quiet and smooth engine then get a hybrid or electric car.
