ARx problems in ATF

I think we will go on the low side and say 8 hours, that should be fair.

the ARx website says 6oz for auto trans and 1oz/qt for manual

considering ATs have much higher capacity (9 qts for my toyota, 12+ for larger cars) it seems strange. maybe the higher heat of autos enable ARx to work better?

The environment has just about 100% forced circulation inside an automatic. There's a lack of the combustion element. It did a great job on a sticky throttle position valve on my 30RH(904).

Thanks for the info Rick.

c3po and pantermike. Hard to make a fair test. Some people use their cars everyday, others park them for a weekend. I would say the average guy works 9-5, gets home at 6:00 leaves in the morning for work at 0800 so about 14 hours is the off time. Lets take into account how long the engine takes to cool off 1-2 hours. So I'd say 12 hours would be fair?????????

I think ADFD1 makes a reasonable request, so then we will do 12 hours. I already have the arx mixed with the ATF, the bottle has been shook up well, I even poured in the 2 ounces of arx into an empty transmssion fluid container followed by the 12 ounces of ATF, this will be shook up again before I put it in the freezer. I will post my results tommorow, and if the results are doubted then members who have a stash of arx can repeat the test, and show us there conclusions.

Why are you guys debating how long to leave the blends in the freezer?

Measure the temperature of the fluids, when it's down to ambient in the freezer it isn't going to get any colder no matter how long you wait...

Are you trying to see if ARX drops out of solution or something?

I just want to leave the mix of arx and ATF in the freezer for 12 hours and then pour it out and see what happens, good or bad.

c3po is your freezer 0*F or colder. 0*F in canada is fall and spring time, how about winter -30*F? LOL

I looked at the thermometer in there, it is 0 degrees.

c3po,

Your ratio of ARx to ATF is too high.

A 9 quart automatic transmission would need a ratio of .66 ozs of ARx per quart. You are 3x that ratio...

You need to read Rick20's post where he did 2 ounces of arx to a quart of ATF, my test needs to be the same as his as far as the amount of arx used. I do not have the room to mix up 9 quarts of ATF with arx.

Brent ever thought about getting a life?

 

[greenaccord02]

You should ask yourself the same thing.

Actually, shouldn't we all?

 

[ADFD1]

Yes some of these threads do show some people have way to much time on their hands, especially in these A-rX threads.

 

[sprintman]

I do have a life. I bung the RX in and in a year or so time I might do an oil change. But most put RX in and fuss over it like an old woman every day. Just forget it's even in there.

 

[ADFD1]

So you add it at every yearly OC?

 

[sprintman]

No that's not what I said.

 

[ADFD1]

Early here, and a long day ahead of me. With all that A-rX I read about that you have and the description above, I put 2+2 together and came up with 5. My bad!

Cheers.

Ex military here. I'm going to PM you with some stuff not for public consumption. You OK with that? Cheers..stevo
