Occasionally you will hear someone recommend doing a "piston soak". What exactly is a piston soak? The first step in performing a piston soak is to remove the spark plugs so that a chemical solvent can be injected into the spark plug opening. Depending on how the engine is positioned in the vehicle will determine how easy or difficult it will be to remove the spark plugs. On certain vehicles this can be a very time consuming process.
The idea behind a piston soak is that the chemical will loosen up any oxidized oil on the piston rings allowing for better piston ring sealing when it's finished. Typically one let's the chemical sit for a number of hours before reinstalling the spark plugs. Be prepared for a cloud of smoke when the engine is first fired again.
Auto-Rx® Plus isn't suitable for use as a piston soak because it contains no harsh chemicals and requires heat to dissolve oxidized contaminant build up on the piston rings.
