Is it ok to use Redex in a 182

Hi

Just found some redex in the shed, it says ok for cars with cats so guess this would be ok to chuck in the 182 to get rid of it?

This day and age i dont see much point in injector petrol treatments. Maybe back in the 70s or something but petrol has become much cleaner/effecient with added detergents now... But it wont do any harm aslong as it says safe for cats.

Makes my car smell less on tick over.

But that's probably 'cos it's been thrashed.

The manual says not to use additives.
