Hello everyone. I'm going to be posting some test results for Larry. I'm retired now and I'm going to drop of the map in a couple of weeks to my cabin in Idaho. On to the test. 4 Honda Civic's were picked. One was given a maintenance dose of 4 oz's, one was give a 3 oz dose and two were given a...

Just finished running in an engine on the dyno with a new additive, Red Line Break-In http://www.redlineoil.com/products_motoroil.asp The owner after the good results plans on using it in his every day driving with this engine. This stuff works exactly as advertised. We had a camshaft problem...

I have received a lot of messages about my post that talked about doing something every day just to make your day, sometimes something for a specific person or just some little thing. I know you are all busy and have a lot of important things to do and not enough time but this is really a very...

We are starting a new test. These things can not be done over night and picking the right car is important. Right car meaning someone driving in a pattern we are looking for and someone that will come in for the oil change at the right mileage. This is a 4 ounce test. I have some experience...

Ran Auto-Rx in a new car. A local lab agreed to test for Fe levels. I was not looking for a complete uoa so I could run a couple of more tests. Car, new Honda Fit driven as a delivery vehicle about 5 to 7 hundred miles a week, lots of stop and go combined with freeway running in LA rush hour...

I know it's not an additive but it is used as a gas saver and if it's in the wrong place than bad on me. Gas Saver Pro is the latest gas saver for your consideration. I can not post their web address but you might be able to Google it and with a little bit of searching find in all on your own...

I just talked to someone that is a spokesperson for Greenpeace that said we should not drill in the US to protect the planet. Does that mean we should import as much as possible (we do) and trust foreign countries to be the custodian of the environment with their drilling practices instead of...

Are there any web sites out there that you just can't believe that someone has put up to represent their business? The kind I'm talking about are the ones that are confusing, hard to navigate and in some cases a site that leaves you wondering what it's about? I brought this up because I have...

I'm thinking of putting together a more formal Auto-Rx test. So far I have a shop to do the oil changes, a professional photographer, and some product. I'm looking for the right vehicle. I also have run out of money and would like to know if BITOG members would like to join a fund to do the test...

A friend received a car as a gift because it smoked, would not pass smog and did not run well. I helped with a tune up and we purchased a case of gallon jugs of Delo 15w-40 from Costco and ran two back to back 2-bottle doses of AutoRx. We just finished using 4 bottles of Auto-Rx, 6 gallons of...

Since becoming a member of the BITOG family what changes have you made in fluids and maintenance for your own vehicles?

I would like to publish Ted from Dixie Synthetics formula for oil change intervals. I think this formula has merit and better than mileage or time alone can ever be in managing oil changes. The reason to publish this formula? We just finished an evaluation of oci's for a document delivery...

A young driver, 23 years old had a car that he bought at a tent sale towed into a shop. The problem? The car was in his words a screaming deal but there was a catch. It has a standard transmission and he had no idea what that extra pedal was for and could not find the indicator that would show...

Hello all, Better late than never, I guess. This was a test using two bottles of Auto-Rx, 1k clean and 2 1k rinse cycles, then back to normal services. Each of three cycles included an oil and filter change. Oil was Kendall GIII 5w-30. 1998 Honda Accord 4-cylinder, 5-speed manual Clean phase...

We have a Toyota V8 hooked up to a 5-speed tranny driving a ball mill. This setup gets whipped like no truck ever does with long runs with constant load changes. We had trouble with some shiny flakes in the tranny fluid. The Magnefine people gave me 2 filters to try out and after 6 months and 2...

We had a guy come in the shop on a rant about Amsoil. He said they denied his claim for an engine failure and that Amsoil was junk and the company a bunch of pirates. I asked him to bring in all his paper work and anything he had records for. His vehicle was a GMC truck with a Duramax diesel. He...

Why don't more car owners use diesel grade oil in their daily drivers? What's the down-side?

When you run extended oil change intervals is the diligence required to do it safely costing more time and money than extending the interval brings back in savings? I’m asking because it does not appear practical to run extended intervals on new cars because of the warranty. Modern engines are...
