Is there a particular conventional oil that works best with Auto-rx? I currently use a high moly content oil like Chevron or Havoline, but is it better to use something different?
Thank you for becoming a member of our forum. I personally have had good results with Castrol non-synthetic oil but Chevron or Havoline will work just as well Chrysler recommends Dino oil and about 2 years ago I switched from synthetic oil and with the maintenance dose it has worked well for me I took photos with the valve cover off and was surprised to see there was no varnish on anything. Thanks for helping me do editing with my post on BITOG a few months back when it was new and I could not get it to work properly.
I hope I helped you with your oil choice It is difficult to select one oil most oils work well with Auto-Rx.

Thanks for the response. Glad I could help with the editing over there. I have to say that it's nice to navigate around on a board where all the functions work and has an RSS feed (like this one). I know you guys subbed out the board, but it was money well spent. It's fast and it doesn't error on me all the time.
I'll continue with my Havoline/Chevron then. I'll post my UOA's (at both sites) when I have my autorx results.
I still think that Supertech oil is the way to go for ARX cycles. Cheap, and has a very basic add pack that will provide minimal interference with ARX. I have used this oil in 2 vehicles with ARX and am very happy with the results.
Walmart Super Tech runs very well and extends the life of the oil just as it was blended. Auto-Rx does not change oil chemistry.Look at the various oil tests contained on the Auto-Rx Web Site.
Bulk dino Pennsoil has worked well for me in both the clean and rinse mode.
Hi, guys, I just registered on this forum and this is my first post. After reading so many good things about auto-rx on BITOG forums I am queit impressed by the results people are reporting so i went ahead and ordered 4 bottles of the stuff. I ordered on the 19th of July but still haven't recieved my shipment, which is kind of dissapointing. Anyways, i'm anxiously awaiting my shipment. Now, my question is, which dino works best with auto-rx? I read a thread recently where a person had used castrol gtx 5w30 and didn't get the desired results, maybe because the new sm rated gtx contains anti sludge additives, etc.,. I have quiet a bit of pennzoil 5w30 dino sm rated oil in my stash, and that's what's in my 96 caravan right now, bought this oil at walmart for a good price of 10 dollars for 4.73 liters, which a very good deal here in Canada, as this oil regularily sells for around 17 dollars for that jug size. I have recently changed the oil and filter and have put on close to 700km on it so i'm thinking when I recieve my auto-rx i'll just add it to the existing oil as it's still pretty new. Would that be ok to do? Or, should I put in fresh oil and filter again before adding the auto-rx? Another thing I wanta know is that, is pennzoil dino a good oil to use for both the cleaning and rinse phase? Or should I go with something different with a weaker add pack, like walmart brand dino oil.
Also, I wanted to ask Richone that he wrote that "Bulk dino Pennsoil has worked well for me" would that be the same oil i'm using (my oil wasn't bulk) or does the bulk version have less of an add pack making it more favourable to use with auto-rx.
By the way, my caravan has the 3.0L mitsubishi engine which is working pretty good withought any issues. I do however, see varnish and a little bit of sludge deposits when i look through the oil fill cap so i thought it would be a good idea to do auto-rx treatement as preventitive maintenance.
