I was quoted $3400 to replace heat exchanger and oil filter and water pump housings. I researched and found Auto-Rx. Not only was the s...

I just took my car to the dealer to see if I can trade it in and they offered me $10,000. I am feeling terrible that I know it has a sludged engine...although dealer didn't help me when it was sludge with 30,000 miles on it.

My 2008 Lexus had some smoke coming out of the tailpipe. It has 35,000 miles on it.

I have spent a bunch of time watching the saga unfold, over at BITOG, with Artems Toyota V6, 1MZ-FE6, motor as it relates to varnish deposits. First I have got to give the man credit for all of his efforts. But I must say that Artem should be happy with the overall cleanliness of this motor given the 230,0...

I see adds all the time with oil companies toting the cleanliness of their full synthetic motor oils. And yes it is true they can run longer before sludge formation sets in. However, I a do not believe that they work effectively in dissolving sludge deposits that are already in place. I was just looking...

I'm trying to clean up my N52 engine. Currently it's not badly sludge up but every 5k oil filter change there will be quite visible sludge on it. Another issue I have is loud lifter noise .

Not all sludge is created equal. Some motors have very hard deposits, resembling charcoal, while others can have a soft, gooey, black paste appearance. Sludge can form from a variety of reasons and will clean up at different rates based on how it was formed in the first place. A motor in the condition p...

Hi XXXX,I dont know what reviews you have been reading. But to say that Auto-Rx does not clean deposits off of aluminum is ridiculous. All pistons are aluminum for the most part. Auto-Rx cleans the lands of the pistons freeing up piston rings all day long. Almost all motors in passenger cars and light t...
