i like ARx but have never tried it in ATF. wifes 05 RAV4 had 25K and original ATF so thought i'd add 4 oz and drive it at least 500 miles before doing two drain/fills w/ T-IV. ATF was brown, not red at all but not a burnt smell. lot of short trips too.
Day 1 - within 5 miles the Maint Req light comes on and stays on. drove it for a week then did a 4 qt drain/fill and the ATF came out purple-black! never seen anything like that. only 150 miles on the ARx treatment
This was a shock and tells me ARx indeed works even in a week.
it's been two weeks since and Maint Req light still on. car runs very smoothly. I just got 4 more qts of T-IV so will drain/fill again. stealership wanted $275 for a flush (!)
anyone else had this problem before?
