Auto-Rx Customers Questions & Answers

Hi Customer, One thing that you may want to check out before starting with the Auto-Rx cleansing is the PCV valve. Its function is to allow the unburned fuel vapors that pass by the piston rings to be released back to the intake system for reburn. But more importantly get the unburned fu...

Thanks for this Frank. Appreciate the savings. You have a fantastic product. I’ve ordered a few times already from you and have used Auto-Rx in all my cars (power steering, automatic transmission & engine) and it has done wonders. I was especially impressed with Auto-rx in my 1998 Odyssey wit...

Gas & Diesel Engines accumulate dirt and other contaminants from combustion blow- by. Blow-by is a natural result of the combustion process. Occasionally contaminents will aso enter an engine through leaks around the intake and air cleaner. An engine with as little as 25,000 Mil...

Hi Jimmy, It would appear that the number 4 cylinder has an oil fowled spark plug. This could be due to either excessive oil passing by the piston rings in this cylinder entering the combustion chamber. It could be a bad spark plug wire, which isn’t allowing the spark to travel to the spark plug. Or perh...

Other boards lump everything as an oil additive. Oil additives change the chemistry of the oil change the viscosity of the oil (thinning out the oil) Other boards continuously say Auto-Rx is an additive because you add it to the oil ( need to think about that rationale since Auto-Rx does "NOT" change t...

First let me state that Auto-Rx works very well with Pennzoil Platinum for cleaning and rinsing. However, Platinum is a group III mineral based oil product, highly refined. On long oil change intervals it will darken significantly and will have some volatility burn off, although much much less tha...

Hello Frank, Thanks for the all the useful information you gave over the phone about Auto-Rx and Shell Rotella-T for my rinse cycle. I have been a big fan of your product, it really does work! I own 2 vehicles both which are 2001 Chevy Prizms. My First Prizm has 66k miles. I been using Auto-Rx as a maintena...

Oil consumption does far more harm than just wasting oil. It will destroy your catalytic converters and hose up your O2 sensors...making your engine run much worse and less efficiently.

Hi Frank,I received my order today of 5 bottles of AutoRx Plus, thanks for the fast delivery. Eight years ago I bought a 2001 VW Passat 1.8 turbo wagon with 65,000 miles on it.

Sure you can leave the product in for 4-5 weeks or more to achieve the desired cleaning. In bikes in particular, Auto-Rx can free sticky piston rings in a short period of operation. Running the bike hard during the cleaning application facilitates freeing up the rings quicker than mild street riding...

There are two options for running Auto-Rx in your 1.8t motor. In light of the fact that your VW service folks have identified sludge as a likely cause of the knocking I am going to suggest running the Fast Track cleaning option. For maximum effectiveness I am suggesting that you run Shell Rotella T, in t...
