I have a Volvo V40, it is 2.0 liter gas engine and 190000 km on odometer. Here in Poland I use 10w40 weight oil, so I thought that after clean and rinse phases I'll try 10w40 MaxLife (synthetic blend). But I read that high mileage oils are not recommended as they swell seals. On the other hand I've heard a lo...

I'd like to try this in my work truck, but can't be sure the mechanic would do the frequent oil changes. Any problems caused by just leaving the ARX in for 3 - 4000 Miles?

My cousin hit something on the freeway and doinked the cast alum oil pan on his 850 Volvo Turbo. I helped him do the pan change and after looking at the bottom end he did an Auto-Rx treatment to clean it up. He did two cycles at about 150k miles and after the second cycle we removed it again, now that we are exp...

Well I'm 1000 miles in to my cleaning phase. My oil is very dark and dirty looking. I'm convinced there is a lot of cleaning going on in there.

The last time I used Auto-rx, the treat rate was 1oz per quart plus 1 extra (for the filter). Now it is twice that. Did the formulation change? Or is there evidence that the larger dosage works better? Also, if the cleaning ratio has doubled then how about the "maintenance plan" dosage. ...

As most you know, Seafoam is also a quite successful product. What do you think of using it with Auto-rx? Or each product on it's own. -- Edited by piran21 at 17:09, 2007-06-30

I've got a 06 Ford Fusion 2.3L with 8500 miles on it. Would it be alright to go with a preventative treatment of Auto RX? I'm looking to be proactive rather than reactive and I'm curious if this is something that will be detrimental to my new engine or just be a waste of money. Thanks.

Before this round of A-Rx, I hesitated in front of the Gunk-brand 5-minute engine clean. Relax: I couldn't bring myself to do it. I am confident that running a kerosene-proxy through my Passat would somehow tick off the fine engineers in Stuttgart... That said, are there any other brands wo...

I just finished the cleaning phase in my 2000 BMW. The oil and filter were very clean after 1800 miles. When I started the treatment, the engine had 50000 miles.

I've read several times over at BITOG that Auto-RX works if you work it. I've always interpreted that to mean that ARX works best when the engine is being driven with it fully warmed up and for extended durations. Accordingly, I started this clean cycle on my car by changing the oil and filter, and addin...

I run the Auto RX for 2500 miles using Havoline 5w-30 for the cleaning phase. The oil was nasty to say the least and eve...

AUTO-RX piggybacks (so-to-say) the engine oil correct? My car oil capacity is 6.1 quarts. So basically I add my engine oil (6.1 quarts) plus 12 FL OZ of Auto-RX and I'm good to go? Thanks in advance and sorry for the noob question. Better safe than sorry. -- Edited by yogi at 16:32, 2007-06-16
