Hello everyone. I've got a '97 Volvo 960 with about 135k miles that has been consuming oil.

So what is the consensus of having auto rx in the crankcase in the extreme cold?

Something occurred to me while driving tonight. See if you can follow my logic. Auto Rx clings, bonds, or adheres to the engine metal during the cleaning phase, and stays there until the rinse phase. In other words, if my assumption is correct, its on the metal until clean oil washes it off. When you do t...

To make a long story short, I bought an '88 Jeep Wrangler cheap. It was in rough shape with 107,000 miles. The 4 cyl. engine ran loud and rough and oil leaked like a sieve.

Hi guys, Well i've run my BMW 728i through a auto-rx clean and rinse cycle and have to say im quite impressed.
