1998 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L 108k miles. 16.9mpg before AutoRx. 2 cleanings afterward and I am getting 22.4mpg. I went to Amsoil 0w30 for the better protection and better mileage thinking it will only compound and the mileage dropped to 18.2mpg. I drove for maybe 800 miles then I added 4oz of AutoRx to Amsoil and it went up to 19.4 with in 200 miles. This was strange to see the decline in mileage with Amsoil but it was verified over several tanks and using the same road and the same season. Almost makes me wish I never put the Amsoil in.
1993 Chevy Cavalier 4cyl 169k miles. This was a junker but I still drove it. The auto transmission had a problem with the lockup solenoid not working and come to find out it is very common. I found out that the fix would be over $700. I figured what he hell and put it in the tranny. Within 500 miles the problem was gone and never came back in 21k miles until the body rotted to bad to drive.
1995 Plymouth Voyager 3.0L. Fuel mileage was around 18.3 before AutoRx and 22.3 after. Valve train was very quite also.
My 82 Goldwing had a slight drag when shifting and it bothered me so I dumped in a dose of AutoRX and after that it shifted much more smoothly and had more power. The mileage was around 39K.
The next is an awesome testament to what AutoRx can do.
I bought this 1987 Jeep Comanche pickup, it had the 4cyl and was 4x4. It had 62865 miles and it was used strictly on a farm. It was stored in a barn for 12 years without being started as the owner died. When I started this up it had a hell of a knock and the oil light was on. The valve cover leaked so i changed that and found out why it had low oil pressure. I kid you not I chipped off a piece of carbon/sludge that was over 1/4 inch thick. It was all over the rockers and caked on everything. This stuff looked like charcoal. I could tell it was not maintained at all. I dumped in 2 bottles and drove it for maybe 35 miles and noticed that the oil had a pretty good amount of gas in it according to the dip stick. I checked for a leaky injector and that was fine, compression was fine also. I could not find the problem at all and I hated to change the oil so I drove it for another 15 miles and could not stand knowing that the oil has that much gas in it and thinning it out. I changed it and just used straight oil. I may have drove it for 50 miles and there was no gas in the oil anymore so I added in AutoRx again. I have plugged up 3 filters in maybe 200 miles, the light flickers at stop lights and the knock has lessened. It has a long way to go but it is working for sure. Now it has maybe 1000 miles on it and it is still coming along but it will take a while. The rockers show empty spots here and there where you can see metal.
I use Microguard filters and Oriley's regular oil 5w30, so its nothing special.
I was an ASE certified tech and I have never seen anything like this like this. I can tell you if it did not hurt a wet clutch motorcycle it is safe for your engine.
I can also tell you based on my findings for mileage tests it was better than Amsoil's best oil and I love Amsoil because i use it and I am a dealer. I hate to say that but its true!

Bitog took this post down .My guess is AMSOIL Dealers cried to Bitog Management. There is nothing derogatory about AMSOIL it is a report by both an AMSOil User and Auto-Rx Customer.
Bitog use to be something any more it is a board full of suppliers and followers for the most part.
The bottom line is that even a top tier oil is going to form coke deposits in the ring area. Without that being disrupted by some change in chemistry, it's just a matter of time. Auto-Rx will remove those formations in the ring area and do it fairly quickly.
These conditions tend to even out in terms of oil selection. If you're using a top tier synthetic and are changing it often enough, they'll take longer to form. It's kinda counter productive to buy an extended drain oil and not using it under extended drains, but some do that. It's the same with conventional oil. I speculate that it comes down to some time weighted average of accumulations.
There is no such thing as magic oil. Amsoil, Mobil 1, you name it, the best they are is oil that has greater endurance in longevity or greater tolerance for extremes. Basically it works out to like results over a protracted period indexed for the service they're subjected to.
You can either do periodic cleanings with Auto-Rx ..or use the maintenance dose.
The maintenance dose is especially appealing to the POA synthetic user (M1/Amsoil) in that they don't have to change to a conventional oil for full cleaning sessions. It's all maintained in process.
I'm an Amsoil dealer and do annual oil changes on everything that's practical to do so. The maintenance dose is cheap and provides more than enough benefit to justify the cost.
