Auto-Rx Customers Questions & Answers

Hi XXXX I can understand your concerns. An inch or two of sludge in the oil pan is a boatload never mind 5 inches. Normally sludge that is present in the pan would indicate that the valve train is pretty much loaded with sludge as well. With regards to the oil pressure light this is dictated by the oil send...

I'm now towards the end of the rinse phase with my '93 Roadmaster with 5.7 TBI engine and about 175,000 miles. I never thought I had sludge problems, but ran a bottle through just to ensure that everything was freed up as much as possible (especially the rings). Oil pressure on the highway had consist...

Hi XXXX Having to add a quart of make up oil, every 1000 miles is on the high side of what VW considers normal oil consumption, in the V-6 motor. This can be due to a few factors that you can easily rectify. From a mechanical side, replacing the PCV valve and inspecting or cleaning the associated plumbin...

At the end of June I bought 3 bottles of Auto-Rx, expecting to use it on my Geo Metro. These engines are as notorious as Saturns for getting gunked up. But I ended up tearing the engine down and finding my first compression ring on the number one cylinder to be broken in two places. I received the engine...

I dumped a bottle of ARX in my 06 Mustang GT and ran it for 3K. (Car now has 40K on it.) I plan to run a 5K rinse, then do a maintenence dose. Was/is that a smart move? I don't think it will hurt. (I've had that bottle for years.) And what's the deal? This seems to be the only place to admit using/liking the produ...

Had success with ARX last year in a 02 V6 Toyota. The smoking on start up and poor oil consumption were solved. Added 2oz of ARX with the oil/filter changes since.

I have been using Auto-RX for a few years now and I have a concern. I have spoken to you previously about how I was not consuming oil in my 2005 Toyota Highlander but after using Auto-RX I now do.

I am really trying to make my cars last. In no way do I want a bunch of dumb responses with flames attached. I have used Amsoil (0-30 and 5-30) for over 20 years and always changed oil and filter at one year or 10,000 miles whichever came first. Somehow, as I age, my guts are telling me that 10K is too long an...

I first started using Auto-Rx in 2008 to clean up an old engine that was consuming oil and running rough, despite new plugs, PCV, adjusted timing and idle, and new cap and rotor. After a sludge-style application with 2 bottles of Auto-Rx, most of those problems cleared up. I then went on the Auto-Rx m...

I am trying to choose which conventional oil to use with ARX? I don't want to be too technical but as I look at oil analysis from PQIA I find some major differences in the additive packages. So, my question is this. Havoline is higher in Moly and Mg with a touch of Boron. Mobil 5000 is high in Moly and Cal...

I bought a Saturn SC2 w/ 112,000 for my daughters. I thought the engine felt weak so checked the compression which was at 120 lbs. New it would be at 190. After some research I came across Auto-Rx. I did the engine treatment and the compression came up to 180 lbs. My father bought a Ford Windstar w/ 90,000...

Oil skips over dirt and all other contaminants on engine internal parts same for transmissions. Oil can't lubricate through dirt etc, it is the major reason that metal wear becomes an issue requiring new parts etc. Auto-Rx can't fix metal wear however it can change the effects of wear by giving any oi...

I am looking for recommendations with regard to order of operations of using Auto Rx in a high mileage (200k) TDI.

Dear Customer, As a general rule, it is never a good idea to add two different additives to an oil sump at the same time. Although I believe that moly has some great boundary and extreme pressure capabilities when added to a host oil, we tend to make our recommendations based on a no risk policy. You have a...

I can't help specifically on your year, but I recently had an experience on my 2003. I bought it used so I don't when the last service had been done and I had foolishly went way past the recommended interval, assuming it had already been changed once at 60k. It had started to slip just a little in first but n...
