What will a UOA during ARX rinse cycle show?

[OffOrWFO]

I would like to do an analysis on some ARX rinse oil and I am wondering what differences would exist when compared to a regular oci. I know some of you will say don't waste the money but I only drive this vehicle 1500-2000k per year. So I want to know what is going on in there but how will the ARX rinse affect the UOA results? Anybody else done this?

I plan on doing a UOA after the clean and rise phases of Auto-RX as well as a VOA of the oil that I'm using (Pennzoil 10W-30 w/PureBase). I will also post a post-Auto-RX UOA (however with whatever oil I decided to use afterward).

You'll have to wait though, I'm ~375 miles into the cleaning phase right now

you should see a rise in oxidation,possibly insolubles if the oil filter bypass's and a drop in nitration. Sometimes I see a change in wear values but usually not. most times no change in elemental wear rates. vis is stabilized and valvetrain operation will be noticibly smoother subjectively depending on the cleaniliness level of the engine and lubes used earlier.
