We have attempted to configure out instructions to serve the most customers with the highest value in results and costs. The current instructions give a good balance of minimizing costs due to rapid oil changes while getting the full effect of Auto-Rx. This works very well for most customers and is r...

This is an independent test performed by an individual, using Auto-Rx in a car with only 10,000 miles on the clock. It is never too early to start with Auto-Rx. A good friend put forth some testing data on running Auto-Rx on a low mileage, yet fairly old model year Honda Civic. I think the points to note ar...

I'm 350 km (219 miles) away from completing the rinse stage of my first application on my '00 Mitsubishi SUV. At my next oil change, I will be using a bottle of ARX to start a second application, as my vehicle's done over 100,000 miles.

I have moved back to college this week and am living at an apartment a little way off campus. I drive to all of my cclasses at the airport, which is about a mile away. I would walk it but carrying flight gear there and back is just annoying. Since the drive is only about a mile, the car hardly even gets warm...

About 30 minutes into driving (after being parked 5 months) the oil light came on. I kept driving because I have read about sensor blockage before. My question is the oil RX stil...

My vehicle is about to get new oil and filter, and I was wondering what to do about the Motorguard bypass filter I have waiting to be installed. Should I wait until after the rinse is finished to install it, or should I install it while I have the chance now?

I put Auto-Rx in at 343,000 miles, and then accidently did 2 1500 mile cleans, followed by a 3000 mile rinse, and I did another clean and rinse before going on the Maintenance Dose. Of course I put in Amsoil 100% synthetic and had a leak, so another clean and now I am 1700 miles into a 3000 mile rinse. I just t...

Small Block Chevrolet Engines like the 1 on my El Camino have looser tolerances than today's engines, meaning that with today's engines they can easily clog up with junk inside the engine, that is why it is so important for people with newer vehicles to use Auto-Rx.

This is a question I threw out on BITOG with little response. I completed a clean and rinse cycle on my '02 Volvo S60 (Old Instructions) approx. 15K miles ago. Is it too late to start utilizing a MD? Do I need to do another clean/rinse phase?

I've been using rx for about 5 years now. It's been awhile since I checked the basic application. There use to be a chart that you would match the number of quarts of oil with the number of oz of rx.

Let me start by saying that if I had added a 1 ounce Maintenance Dose too my Dad's MTD Tractor back in 1995 when he got it, we might still have it today.

Thats an impressive test. I wonder if info like that is available for other such products.
