Preventing leaks

Does Auto rx prevent or minimize leaks when using it on the maintence plan?  Either Tacoma or Jetta have any present leaks at the moment but i was thinking on either using Maxlife 5W30 or Moble one 0W30 with maintence doses of Auto Rx.  Both oils will be changed every 6 months or 7500 miles.

I would recommend the below you follow the below instructions before going to the maintenance program the seals must be cleaned first and if they have no damage to them Auto-Rx should stop the leaks just follow the instructions.

Daryl

D. Seal Leaks Application. First change your motor oil and filter. Add one full 12 oz bottle of Auto-Rx® to your engine.

Auto-Rx® works best with conventional (non-synthetic) motor oil. If you feel you must use a synthetic motor oil we recommend using a Group III oil to avoid competing chemistries.

Drive 2,500 miles, then change your oil and filter again, but do not add Auto-Rx or any other additive. It is important that you use non-synthetic oil during this phase. Drive an additional 3,000 miles, then change your oil and filter again.

Vehicles with over 100,000 miles require a second application. Repeat the instructions outlined above.

Leak should stop within the next 3,000 miles. Application is finished when leak stops. Returning to synthetic oil may cause the leak to return.

We recommend that you follow up your treatment by going on the Auto-Rx® Maintenance Plan. Do not begin a Auto-Rx ®Maintenance Plan until rotating seal leak has stopped.

Are you saying that your vehicles DO or DON'T have leaks at the present time? If they do not, then going on the maintenance dose will not cause any leaks. For the record, Auto Rx does not cause leaks, nor does synthetic oil, it can simply find them. If a seal is worn, damaged, or deteriorated, Auto Rx will clean any sludge, carbon, or contaminant that my be blocking a breech in the seal exposing a PRE-EXISTING leak. Following the "leak" application will allow Auto Rx the clean, and recondition, a dry seal - but not repair a damaged seal. I hope this helps.
