Rislone4720 Cat Complete Fuel, Exhaust and Emissions System Cleaner,16.9 oz. | Cleans Catalytic Converter, Reduces Emissions & Saves Gas

Kept resetting P0420 CEL on my 2007 Toyota Corolla, hoping I could quickly go through drive cycle and pass my smog check before it came back on. Same code kept coming back on within 2-3 miles of a reset so using Rislone was my last hope before I tried the non fouler trick. Below is exactly what I did, hope it helps someone!1) Filled my gas tank with premium gas, drove it down to half tank over a few days of driving before I inserted Rislone.2) Drove ~30 miles and then refueled to full tank with premium gas again(Half highway/half city as instructions state)3) Instructions say after completing step 2, drive the car to 1/4 gas tank at which point CEL should clear. For me, I drove ~25-30 miles over 3 days, clearing the CEL each time it came back on. During the 3rd day (~60 miles since using Rislone), the CEL didn’t come back on and all monitors reset! Immediately went to smog station and passed. CEL is still off, not sure it will last but who cares! Car is running fine and I don’t need to pay for a new converter just to pass a smog test!Tips:1) Not sure if premium gas made a difference but I read several people say they used non ethanol/premium gas which cleared P0420 so figured it couldn’t hurt.2) I bought a cheap OB2 monitor which I kept on when driving so I could see exactly when CEL was coming back on and when monitors are smog ready. If you’re lucky, resetting CEL and going thru drive cycle may be enough to get past smog without using Rislone. In my case, the P0420 CEL would come on within 2-3 miles each time I reset the CEL so using Rislone was a must.3) Each car is different but generally speaking, once you reset CEL the drive cycle consists of warming up the car for a few minutes and driving 50-60 mph a few times, ideally letting the car come to a stop with no or minimal use of the brake. Make sure A/C is off. Using the OB2 monitor while driving the car will help you get a feel for your cars drive cycle.4) If a CEL code is pending, the relative monitor to your code will not clear! In California, all monitors except EVAP have to be ready to pass smog, your state may be different.

Not much else to say, there. I followed the directions to the letter (driving more highway AND city than what's instructed) and P0420 remains on the OBD.I've been told now by two very experienced mechanics that these products rarely work - after now trying both Cataclean and this one, I now understand why they say this.EDIT EDIT EDIT!!!Just changed to 5-star because, although it took driving the car beyond what the instructions say, it has worked perfectly. P0420 is now gone, vehicle passed state inspection "with flying colors" and registration is complete.Key take-away: Give this more time to work if it doesn't do the job right away. I did nothing different - same gas as always (I fill up with Chevron or Texaco almost every time as they include Techron in their gas and my former racecar driver brother-in-law says that's the best). I do also add a bottle of Techron on occasion to give an extra "boost" to the cleaning power.

After driving over 400 miles in a three day period with a fuel fill up. This treatment were ineffective. The CEL did not go out. So, I wind up replacing the catalytic Converter in my vehicle. And, the problem has been resolved. This product was hyped up iot get it sold. I will not recommend this treatment to anyone. Please pull the plug on this treatment before another unsatisfied customer be disappointed

I.was used to last year very good product! Thank you!😘😘,

My car was throwing code about the exhaust being dirty, in my Kia Rio, used this stuff cleared the code & check Engine light went off. Works great. Price is cheaper here online.

Update. Worked for a short time then the check angine light came back.

It works! I use to have an alert come up about my catalytic converter but no more! Mileage does not seem to have changed much, but I also don't drive very economically.

Works great
