Hi all, I've been using Auto-Rx in my cars since I ordered several bottles back in '04. Great product, and has really done wonders for me on the engine in my 2001 24v Taurus. I'm getting ready to add it to the transmission of the Taurus, and had a few questions. I searched and found that everyone is...

I just had a new auto transmission put in my 1995 Saturn 6 months ago (roughly 7,000 miles ago). Should I have any problem putting in 3 oz. of Auto-Rx as a "maintenance" dose, as I do with my engine? Thank you,Ryan

I have a 2004 Mercury Marauder with 31,000 miles on it and a 1983 Chevrolet El Camino with 371,000 miles on it. I have done an auto-rx application in both transmissions, the Marauder has an external trans cooler whereas the El Camino does not have one. I use Amsoil ATF in both transmissions and I have t...

I had a trans flush and a quart of additive at 30k miles. I also added a remote filter mount which runs a HP-1 filter. I added 6oz of ARx about 1500 miles ago. I haven't got all the Amsoil trans fluid yet and want to run the fluid for 5-6k miles. Should I just change the fluid filter? What interval?

I added 6oz of Auto-Rx to my 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix with 87,00 miles and after driving 1,018 miles, I had the transmission flushed at a "trusted" local transmission shop, using the "t-tec" method. No filter change. Unbelievable results! Prior to adding Auto-Rx, my trans...

Just thought I would share my experience. In March of 2008 I bought a 1993 Century with 145,000 miles, and had the transmission fluid changed. It drove fine before that, but right after the change it would fall into a false neutral at most stops. You would have to shift to neutral then back into drive...

As mentioned in an earlier post, the transfer in my car has a rear seal leak; in order to fix it I need to drain the transaxle, since the manual transaxle is continuous with the transfer and uses the same transmission fluid.

I've been using Auto-Rx in my engine and tranny, but didn't consider putting it into the transfer until I noticed a transfer seal leak a few days ago.

I believe using auto-rx in your Differential is a win win situation. I have used the product and after 1000 miles of auto-rx in the Differential the gears looked brand spanking new.
