If say my car takes 5 quarts of engine oil and I am to use 12 oz of Auto-RX when changing oil, do I subtract 12 oz of the engine oil or, do I use the full 5 quartz and then add Auto-RX on top of that? Oh, and does the same principle apply for the transmission and the differential treatments? Thanks for your tim...

Just got my Auto-Rx in the mail, i couldnt wait for it so i did my oil change about 200k ago. It doesnt specifically say anywhere but im under the assumption that i must first drain out approx. 12 oz's of oil out of my engine first? i know its not good to run your engine with too much oil.

I am going to pick up some auto RX for my 02 Audi A4 1.8T. I currently use mobil 1 0W40 and im only a few hundred miles into my oil change so the oil is pretty fresh. How exactly should I go about doing an auto RX? From what I read, I am ok doing this with mobil 1 since its not a 'true' synthetic, but a really good cla...

It seems I've gotten my neighbor interested in A-Rx. He has a 1994 Honda Passport 4wd v6 with around 160k miles on it. It is not used for long trips. He has an oil leak around the plugs somewhere, and also what sounds like a loud lifter tap. Someone told him it was a "collapsed lifter". He also ha...

All through the Clean and Rinse Phases I used dino oil, when I went on my 1st Maintenance Dose for 3000 miles I used Pennzoil Platinum III which is a Group III motor oil so it is not 100% synthetic, for my 2nd Maintenance Dose I put in Amsoil 100% synthetic which is a Group IV motor oil and now I am having some l...

I have a diesel tractor with a lower rotating seal in the PTO that leaks hyd fluid. I have replaced on other tractors and it is a pain and my tractor is down in the country to boot. Will ARX cause any issues with the hyd fluid? If I use ARX will I need to replace fluid after a short time? Thoughts? Thanks

I filled up my gas tank today and when I calculated the miles it was 23.5, this is not highway driving but going too work 10 miles 1 way and back, so essentially short trip driving, what is also amazing is that this car has a carburetor on it and with what Auto-Rx has done it starts up and drives off like the ca...

Larry · Larry

This week end I will have some fuel mileage numbers for the 4 ounce dose. Right now it looks like the pattern I've seen on two vehicles is that it will take one or two tanks of gas run through the engine for the maintenance dose to start showing a mileage increase. I'm working with Barkerman from BITOG. He t...

I am in the process of an ARX cleaning cycle in my Jeep 4.0L Inline 6 engine right now. It holds a little more than 5 qts of oil. My wife's Nissan Xterra holds a good bit less than 4 qts of oil.

Last weekend, I pulled the Va...
