Hi all
I was at an Ace Hardware store yesterday, and saw they have Amsoil products right on the shelf! Kind of amazed at that. All I can guess is one of their employees is a distributor and the store let them set up some space.
Anyways, they have the Amsoil PI on the shelf. One of the employees there said it’s good stuff. I asked how it compares to Seafoam (a stable in my garage) and Tecron. He said “it doesn’t…it blows them away”.
So of course I bought a bottle lol.
Bored at work, boss is at lunch, went looking for reviews on it. Visited a good dozen pages found by Google. Then found this forum. Read a discussion here on various additives…and I have to say of all the sites I read this was the most “mature” (no name calling, bashing, arguing, kids saying they love it because their uncle likes it)…and decided this is the one I want to join.
So, howdy all!
John

Thanks for the welcome. I lost the opportunity to do a review of the PI on my Mustang. It’s been stumbling on acceleration for a while now, and yesterday I pressed on the go pedal leaving a red light, and it refused to accelerate at all. After thinking about the symptoms for a bit, I decided to try the TPS. Replaced it, and all is well again. So it having a real mechanical problem repaired at the same time the PI was in the tank negates figuring out what it really did.
But, I did also buy a bottle for my 87 Ranger with the Cologne 2.9 (complete with the “I will NOT idle for you” curse). I use it as my utility vehicle, meaning dump runs on Saturdays and occasional trips to Home Depot. It stumbles, has a surging idle, and after sitting for a week takes forever to start. I’ll add the bottle to the next tank fill and will post results on the forum (after I figure out the best place for them). It has 197,000 miles on it, I can see in the EGR tube it’s full of carbon, so it should be a good test of the PI cleaning abilities.
