Don't know what is going on but replies are not showing up. Here is what I had to say:
RENEW is just another UTF that is being hyped to the older tractor crowd. Jim Allen (no relation ;-)) over at BITOG had a VOA conducted on it and the results were very generic. Unfortunately TSC does no publish ANY technical data sheets for their Traveller house brands so it is a pig in a poke as far as further specifics go. Supposedly it has increased levels of seal conditioners to benefit older machines. Given the paucity of rubber seals in an N-series that isn't much of a selling point. Much like the High Mileage hype used to sell engine oil to old car owners. IMO you are better off buying a $35 bucket of their Premium UTF than the $50 bucket of RENEW. The Premium UTF actually had better VOA numbers in Jim Allen's testing.
