The use of ARX can save alot of money. The product was originally designed to clean out the lubrication system of motors and transmission, as well as gear boxes. I have read many posts about fuel savings which are huge, some as many as two to three miles per gallon. To that I must say that the cleasing of st...

I think the new instructions for normal cleaning and rinsing are great. The beauty is that you now run the normal OCI on dino oil while cleaning and rinsing. What I do is add the cleaning dose 500 miles into a new oil fill. Then I run the cleaning cycle for 2500 miles. So I get the full 3000 miles worth of oil s...

The gold standard is that all engines should have a pressure of 10 PSI for every 1,000 RPM of operation, not more, not less. After all, you do need some pressure to move that oil along, but only enough pressure, not more. More pressure is not better, it can only result from the impedance of oil flow. Remem...

I have a 2003 VW Passat W8 with 38,000 miles. I got it used and don't know the oil history on it. I want to use Auto-Rx as a hedge against the oil screen problems this engine can have. My question is it has a capacity of 9 quarts, so is one bottle enough for a treatment cycle? Since VW requires synthetic oil and...

Step 2 - Change oil and filter. Add one 12 oz. bottle of Auto-Rx®. OK, I get this. I have Jeeps that hold 6 Quarts of Oil, & a Honda thats just under 4 Quarts. It seems like the Honda will have a higher concentration of Auto-Rx® Why doesn't this matter?

Hi I'm just starting my rinse phase and it may not be complete before I store the car for a few months. Is there any concern if the car sits for some time before I run it again? Perhaps I should do an oil change again before storing to be safe? What about storing a car part way through a clean phase? Thanks

Hello everyone. I have been meaning to try Auto-RX for several months now. Money is tight, as always, but I am due for an oil change soon in my two Firebirds, so I'd like to bite the bullet and see what this product can do for me. Both cars have about 130k miles on them. Both run fine, although I am curious...
