Ok, I think I was wrong. After reading the posts in the oil forum about which oil is a good cleaner, it sounds like I should still use a product like Auto-rx. Question is, can I add it to Amsoil? And when I run it for 500 miles to the added oil, can I put Amsoil back in or do I have to use a Dino? Forgive me if I asked this already....I can't find the **** posts...there are so many to go through.
Quick Auto-RX question...

buster,
Go to www.auto-rx.com and look under installation instructions for using this product. It will answer all your questions better than I can.

I know you probably read the posts but here goes...
The dino is good during treatment because the esters in Auto-Rx aren't in 'competition' with the esters in a good synthetic oil for the metal surfaces.
The other advantage is since you'll dump it after 500-1000 miles you aren't wasting too much money.
Dino after is only necessary if you are trying to stop a leak.
BTW--I used Auto-Rx last summer and I'm going to try Neutra this spring. Just got confirmation of my order at $21 for the gallon jug

I've used 4 bottles now (And dont even ask what that costs here) and a few observations for what it's worth.
I wouldn't use it in conjunction with a syn. I did add it to Delvac 1 in our 60,000kms Outback and after the regulation 800kms clean the Sube OEM filter had really nothing to see. I may have another go with OEM filter and Pennzoil 10W30 SL but it's becoming a very expensive exercise.
IMO PureONE not a good match with Auto-RX, possibly too restrictive.
Also I feel the 800kms (500 miles) is a little conservative particularly in an engine in reasonable state of cleanliness.

Run dino for a while after completing Arx clean. 'Hardens' the seals I think Frank said. Then go Amsoil etc.
I believe I remember Terry Dyson mentioning that Exxon Super-flo worked very well with A-RX. I wouldn't sweat this too mich. It should work with any dino, if it's going to work.
I remember reading Mobil Delvac 1300 works well with auto-rx.
