Alright guys. I have taken the Auto-RX plunge and bought 2 bottles on the website. They came in yesterday and I have finally taken the time to install in earlier today. My current oil is Pennzoil Ultra 5w-20 with a bottle of MMO and 6cyl Restore. Hence the reasoning for a little of the gunk flush to help dissipate some of this [censored] before the new oil.
Supplies:
-5 quarts of Valvoline 5w-30 premium conventional oil
-1 quart of cheapie oil
-Pur Classic filter
-2 bottles of ARX (one bottle per phase)
-Gunk HM Flush
Procedure:
-Take Driver side valve cover off and take pictures
-Reinstall VC and run 1/4 bottle of the gunk HM flush for 10 minutes
-Take a picture of the inside of oil filler hole
-Drain oil for 45 minutes and take out old filter
-Pour 1 quart of cheapie oil down filler to get any left over stuff out of pan
-Install new filter and add 3 quarts of the Valvoline, then pour one bottle of ARX in
-Top it off with remaining Valvoline until full
Now like I said pictures would be plentiful and I will try my best not to disappoint.

Picture of the amount of gunk I put in. Used a coke bottle to 1/4 it since it's a 16oz bottle and the gunk is 32oz:

Hope you guys like it. I will be changing the filter at 1500 miles and taking another picture with the VC removed. Also will be cutting open all of my up and coming oil filters to show residual content. Hopefully this ARX will do something helpful to my engine and I look forward to hearing your guys input/suggestions to maximize the ARX's potential.
