Treatment Started - 2001 Nissan Pathfinder LE
Permalink  
 


Have a Nissan Pathinder LE with 87000 miles.  Have some sort of drip which ends up on the skidplate. Otherwise, I really have no problems with the engine.  I am the 2nd owner of this vehicle purchased with roughly 36000 mi in '04.

Started treatment today. Used cheapest conventional oil I could find at Walmart which was Supertech 5w30 and added 1 bottle of ARX.  According to your Basic Application I'll drive 3000mi for the cleaning and rinse.  Plan on using Supertech 5w30 for the rinse.  I just might do 2 rinse cycles since I'm close to 100,000 mi.  Will also use the maintenance dose eventually and I usually use Pennzoil 5w30.

Depending on my experience here, I'd like to try this on my '05 Audi A4 3.0 Quattro which has 38xxx miles and maybe send the oil for testing. Bought this car used and been driving it for the last 7 months.

Two Cycles would be smart to do . 1 bottle of Auto-Rx holds 12 ounces of chemistry and on high mileage or abused engines the second application is necessary. Please click on "Prevention" above your post. Good read and worth your time.

I hit 1000 miles on this treatment the other day.  Just want to say there are no more fresh oil spots on my driveway! And my skid plate is not as soaked from that drip I had - I would say it DRAMATICALLY slowed down!!  Almost to the point where it has, maybe 90%, stopped.  The engine is running great - maybe it's the pychosomatic effect, but it's really quiet.  Really happy so far!

It is vitally important to run the rinse cycle with conventional oil. In fact I would consider the next OCI on conventional as well.

Don't know if you have done it or not but it is advisable to service and change your PCV valve too.
