Auto RX - should I do it now? or wait?

[delta901]

I just ordered 2 bottle of Auto-RX for my ES300 with 1MZ-FE

(spell: SLUDGE)

Anyway, I got this car with 120k on the clock. Change the engine oil with the following: 3/4 qt of GC, 2qt of Havoline, 1qt toyota oil, 1qt Pennzoil and some LC20. Oil has less than 200mi on it. Previously Seafoam it (put it crankcase).

Now I want to ARX it to make sure no sludge will be there or at least make it run better. Should I wait till 2000mi then ARX it with FULL dino? I drive about 600mi per month.

Is the 1MZFE a "sludge" candidate? I think I have the same in my newly acquired 1998 Toyota Camry LE V6.

Wait and use full dino. I've had best results that way. Make sure you get the engine hot. I blocked half the radiator off with a pizza box, nice and hot and pepperoni garlic aroma to enhance the experience. No I'm not kidding..s

Wait, drain that cocktail and use fresh dino oil.

Another Idea: drain the current oil into a 5qts jug for reuse later. Do ARX NOW since it will be summer, alot hotter with pizza box.

Near overheating a car is not a good thing to do IMO!

California summer heat + traffic is good enough!

Delta 901 why not go to www.auto-rx.com and follow the insrtuctions ? read the FAQ, go to Auto-Rx Forum and read section on sludge.

Auto-Rx does not care is climate is sub tropic or freezing as long as oil is flowing.
