If say my car takes 5 quarts of engine oil and I am to use 12 oz of Auto-RX when changing oil, do I subtract 12 oz of the engine oil or, do I use the full 5 quartz and then add Auto-RX on top of that? Oh, and does the same principle apply for the transmission and the differential treatments? Thanks for your time and courtesy.
Auto-RX goes onto the metal of the insides of the engine and the engine oil is the carrier that carrys it around - no it won't overfill the Dip Stick MAX mark.

Welcome to the ARX forum and thank you for purchasing Auto-Rx. I would add the ARX first and fill oil to the full mark on the dipstick.

Q:Auto-Rx and Overfilling of the Crankcase A:The cleaning dose of Auto-Rx constitutes the addition of 12 fluid ounces into the crankcase. In any automobile motor this will not create an overfill problem with regards to sump capacity. Remember that we are only talking about just over 1/3 of a quart or liter. That will likely not even going to be readable on the dipstick, when comparing before and after the addition. To even further diminish the concern, the Auto-Rx will get some absorption into the deposits in the motor, such as varnish or sludge deposits as it begins to penetrate the binders of these deposits.
Also Auto-Rx, its blend of esters has some polarity. It will have an attraction to clean ferrous metal surfaces and some amount of Auto-Rx will remain on these surfaces after the motor has been turned off.
