Whether you're experiencing poor engine performance, you want to maintain the life of your engine or you want to increase fuel economy, a regular dose of Redex can help by removing harmful deposits from your fuel system.
A regular shot of Redex, specially formulated for petrol engines, can put money back in your pocket and help you to pass your MOT by reducing your emissions. Using Redex is a simple part of a car maintenance routine which can keep your injectors working better and extend the life of your car.
The purpose of the Redex fuel system cleaners is to remove this build-up of deposits and keep the fuel injection system clean. By doing so, the fuel will burn more cleanly and therefore give you better performance and fuel economy as the engine is working more efficiently.
In fact, dosing your vehicle with Redex is that simple, many of our customers add the product whenever they fill up with fuel. Remember, though, that whilst we'd recommend adding a shot of Redex each time you fill up, the product can be added at any time – provided your vehicle is adequately fuelled.
How often should you put Redex in your car? Yes, it's recommended to use Redex fuel system cleaner often to keep your injectors and fuel lines free of deposits. Use it as part of your ongoing vehicle maintenance – like washing your car or checking the tyre pressures. Around every 3,000 miles is ideal.
Yes. It's a good idea to give your engine a deep clean on the inside every now and then, as this will make sure it's always running efficiently. The Redex Advanced Fuel System Cleaner products do just that.
Whether you're experiencing poor engine performance, you want to maintain the life of your engine or you want to increase fuel economy, a regular dose of Redex can help by removing harmful deposits from your fuel system.
Redex Petrol fuel additives can be used safely with new E10 fuel in E10 compatible cars, as well as with E5.
For fuel injector cleaners, manufacturers recommend once every 3,000 miles. However, some brands may go up to 10,000 miles between fuel additives because you have a newer car or use high-quality gasoline.
Redex won't do anything on a modern car other than create extra smoke and muck (deposits) in the cylinders - a 20k mile Passat should have a spotless fuel system (unless you have been filling it up in Greece!).
Redex DPF Cleaner with Diesel System Cleaner – If your diesel car has a DPF filter and you do a lot of slow stop-start driving in town, add a shot of Redex DPF Cleaner to the fuel tank to prevent blockages in the filter.

Yes, you can use Redex fuel additives in older cars as well as modern ones.
The cleaner effectively removes residue and deposits from the engine's fuel system, making the engine run smoother and ensuring optimal fuel efficiency. My car felt more responsive, and the engine ran much quieter after using Redex. I found myself filling up less frequently and saving money on fuel in the process.
It removes soot from the car's exhaust by trapping it in the filter, but it can become blocked and be expensive to repair. Redex DPF Cleaner lowers the temperature the soot burns at, meaning it burns away during normal driving without you having to get your engine very hot.
Most automotive experts agree that properly maintained newer cars won't benefit much from aftermarket fuel additives (the kind you add to your gas tank). These vehicles may show small benefits in longevity and efficiency from pump gasoline with additives such as detergents.
Fuel Injector Cleaner Benefits
In short, when used regularly, fuel cleaners work. They can help remove harmful deposits, prevent new deposits from forming, and enhance vehicle performance. Fuel additives can improve gas mileage, reduce long-term maintenance costs, and they're affordable.
In general, these additives work best on older, high mileage engines that have either been neglected or missed out on regular maintenance. You're unlikely to see any benefit on a newer, well-maintained vehicle.
You can use Redex Petrol System Cleaner as often as you like to clean your car's fuel injectors and fuel system. Typically, we recommend adding a dose of cleaner each time you fill up the tank to make sure your engine is clean and maintained.
CAN I MIX E10 AND REGULAR UNLEADED? Not like diesel and petrol, you can refuel with E10, regular or premium unleaded without any damage to the fuel system or engine.
While E10 is a cheaper option than 91 Octane (91 RON) fuel, it typically has an octane rating of 94.5, putting it in line with the middle of the range 95 RON option. Ethanol is a cleaner-burning fuel than 91 RON too, resulting in less pollution of the atmosphere.
Redex Petrol System Cleaner is a fuel additive specially developed to reduce emissions and restore performance in your fuel system. It is compatible with E10 fuel, and our new updated formula also protects against corrosion from E10 fuel, so it can be used safely in all petrol cars including hybrid.
Adding more than one shot of Redex won't do any harm to your car and can give you a more intensive clean, so don't worry if your pouring isn't exact. Please note though, Redex has been safe-tested at 4 times the recommended dose, so please don't exceed this.
How often should I use Redex DPF Cleaner? We recommend that you use Redex DPF Cleaner in every second or third tank of fuel, particularly if you drive short journeys or do a lot of stop/start driving in a city.
