AUTO - RX: Does it do what it claims??

Frank · Jan 19, 2007

Pablo your almost posted the Auto-Rx Engine Contamination Application.If this got posted every user of cheap solvents-friction reducers-transmission fluid & mothers milk and who have tortured there engine into early retirement would want to use it. Applications on www.auto-rx.com would wither and die. It's bad enough that some can't follow these now.

Auto-Rx Works If You Work It.

I was skeptical too, but it did work. I tried it in my 92 Corolla. There will be naysayers, but I got 5 mpg increse. When I bought the car I was getting was I get now. The mileage dropped 5 mpg and I couldn't figure out why. I checked timing, plugs, wires etc. but found nothing wrong. After using Auto RX the mileage came back. You can debate, dispute and make accusations, but I did nothing else but add the Auto RX and it worked. It also visually cleaned up my oil. I have no ties to Auto Rx so I have no reason to make this up. I'm not sure why it works for some and not for others, but medicine is the same way and you don't hear people calling the Pharmaceutical companies quacks. There are very few cure-alls that work 100%. Some may disagree but it worked for me.

Too bad I can't spell (and do not proof read), I think you can figure out what I mean.

I'm currently using Auto-RX to clean several engines.
--After 1st clean phase(1500 miles on oil/filter) on one car with apprx 100,000 miles on it, drained oil was quite dark.
--After 1st (altered--put 4 oz LC20 in oil apprx 100 miles prior to adding Auto-RX) clean phase (2,000 miles on Amsoil EA filter & starting with clean oil as shown on dipstick), drained oil from 2nd car (92 Honda Civic w/153,000 miles) was EXTREMELY dark (like soy sauce). Oil stayed clean on dipstick til around 1,000 miles, then progressively got darker while stain on dipstick progressively got lighter.
It's not normal for oil to get this dark this fast or with so few miles. That is for me a very good indication that the Auto-RX is doing a great job of cleaning a dirty engine.
Though I also did some tune up work on the Civic while doing 1st Auto-RX cleaning on Civic, it runs much better now--substantially more responsive, faster acceleration, and substantially better mpg. It did have a little oil seepage from area where transaxle joins motor (rear main oil seal?). There is NO seepage now.
Auto-RX is a good name for a product that is in my opinion in a class by itself, because it's certainly good medicine for engines, etc.

i would love to see how you folks calculate a 5mpg gain. you put it on F and count from there? is it on the exact same point on F every time? Lets say you dont use F but use the amount of gallons on the pump instead. how do you determine how much you have actually used? 2 runs starting from a completely dry gas tank to a completely dry gas tank and compare the 2 diff mileages? did you make sure to keep the same exact weight in the car? make sure to accelerate teh same exact way for the same exact distances? For a site that dotes on scientific proof of everything (group IV vs group III etc) there sure are a lot of claims not based on science. and now it fixes exhaust noise too? amazing.

here is my experience. I bought 3 bottles because i was convinced it would work. treated one car. car got much louder during the celaning phase just like everyone else. car got much quieter after the rinse phase. but this was only in comparison to the loud ticking from the celaning phase. i didnt measure the level of noise but i would honestly say it is about the same as orginally. maybe my motor was already pretty clean. Was i satisfied? for $60 and change i surely wasnt. Will i go through the hassle or shipping back the 2 unused bottles? for $40 i dont think so. I have an older GM that has been run low on oil for a while so what the heck. may as well give it a shot. I know it does something. too many pics showing otherwise. plus that "test" someone on here did showed it improved M1's performance. I just think these great claims are funy sometimes, and there are a few things that puzzle me that i will never get an answer to.

i mean come on. It cleans EGR's too? it is getting rediculous.

More excuses by another newbie poster who refuses to verify their invoice. You have been complainingg about ARX from day one and it just so happens you joined the same time MBurn was banned, lol. I'll personally tell Frank I will send him double your invoice if you ask for a refund and verify your invoice. Socum-Maxicannon = MBurnikas, prove me wrong, that alone should be worth it hey jr? LMAO

Maximumcanon · Jan 21, 2007

verify my invoice (like you verify your stupidity)? I think i'll pass. and if you could read, you would have seen me state that i am still convinced it does something, just not the nonsense people claims it does. but if you want to send me some money, i'll take it.

and you really need to get that paranoia fixed

Shelby · Jan 21, 2007

An angry response and another excuse look an aweful lot a like.

Mr Nice · Jan 21, 2007

I'm doing an ARX treatment in a Honda with 155K miles.

This car is driven at 4000 RPM's on the highway, 5 times per week, approx 1.5 hours per day (all highway miles). So I am hoping the ARX does a good job at cleaning. I will also cut open the oil filter.

Alright, for those that cannot think on their own, here is how I calculate mileage. It's a new scientific idea that has taken the world by storm, it's called averaging. By averaging I do not need to drive exactly the same and have the exact same weight and have the exact same pull of the earth and have the exact same amount of gas down to a gnats behind. So here is how I figure it out. I record my mileage driven and how many gallons to fill up (I do this every fill up on all my autos). I can average out 4-5 tanks to get an good average mpg. When it comes out to 5mpg for 4-5 tanks I can say that it improved my mileage by 5 mpg (it has actually been 5 mpg more for a couple months now and I fill up at least once per week). If you still do not understand then pm me and I'll give you a more detailed explanation for the learning challenged.

I never said it fixed exhaust noise. My truck still makes lots of noise, Just the sound it makes while cruising at steady speed is different.
However I do agree with you on the EGR thing

flatlandtacoma · Jan 21, 2007

I bought some Auto-Rx last year and after following the application to the letter I couldn't tell if/that it had done anything at all... Mind you I had no complaints or problems with my Toyota engine to start with, just 100,000+ miles and thought it might stand some cleaning.

I noticed nothing. No dark dirty oil, no dirty filter, no engine noises, no change in mpg, no nothing.

There - does that mean I'm Mburnickass too?

Rick20 · Jan 21, 2007

No flatlandtacoma, you are not Mburnickass. But I would say that your Tacoma is much more likely to perform well over the next 100K from your preventive maintenance cleaning.

I am sure that some cleaning of deposits did occur in your truck motor. That in itself will help take the load off the detergent/dispersant package in your choice of motor oil in the future. Or perhaps there was the start of some biuld up in the rings and lans. May be some debris was growing around the crank seals, not a problem yet, but who's to say in the next 100K.

So to say it did absolutly nothing is hard to imagine.

flatlandtacoma · Jan 21, 2007

Right, I'm not saying it didn't do anything. All I'm saying is I couldn't tell that or if it had done anything from any immediate results.

The paranoid poster who claims everyone who doesn't see immediate miraculous results from AutoRx is a single troll with multiple ids is out of line. My

okiedokie · Jan 21, 2007

Wow. What would you people do if you had something serious to worry about?

Apparently you are missing the historyonics about the guy because the posts are deleted. Brian used the same term Paranoid yet it was PROVEN that MB had multiple niks. All these newbies have to do is verify their invoice, thus proving they aren't MB plus getting a refund as ARX is garaunteed, and then I would look like a fool huh? But....they do this

under a bunch of excuses and I look smarter day by day. Cmon little girls, you have the sand to complain louder and louder but you don't even have a grain of sand in your pants to get you money back per Autorx garuantee, lol cmon now.

Anyhow, this has been a hoot, but I'll leave this thread to the dogs.

Falcon · Jan 22, 2007

Put AutoRx in engine at 6:00p on 1/21/07. When I checked at 8:00a on 1/22/07 the engine was new. It wasn't just clean, there was a whole new engine in there. It even fixed what was wrong in the back of the car. AutoRx works if you work it!

BrianWC · Jan 22, 2007

Now, now kids. The stuff does work. Some people get a little excited about it but...

Mystic · Jan 22, 2007

I can't believe some of the stuff some people say in these posts. I use Auto-RX. I used it in a Saturn SL2 car I used to own and it seemed to stop a seal leak. Nothing else stopped the seal leak-not Valvoline Maxlife oil and not even a special additive that was supposed to stop seal leaks. I can't prove the Auto-RX stopped the seal leak. But the seal leak stopped after I used Auto-RX to clean the engine.

A lot of people at this web site have tried Auto-RX. A lot of people say that it seems to work. There was a mechanic here that specialized in Toyota cars and trucks and he said that Auto-RX often seemed to help in the engines of the vehicles he worked on. Terry who does oil analysis said that he tested Auto-RX and it worked.

Now, you can believe in Auto-RX or not. That is up to you. Nobody says that you have to use it. Without using Auto-RX you could probably drive a car or truck a long, long way using reasonable mileage/time oil changes and either good quality conventional oil or synthetic oil. There is other stuff that may work in cleaning an engine like Neutra, Lube Control or even an engine flush like Amsoil. It is your money and your choice. I happen to think Auto-RX will not hurt and that is my choice.

If an engine is very clean Auto-RX probably will not do much. But somebody who has 200,000 miles on an engine might notice something. Auto-RX is not some miracle product. If you have physical damage to a seal it will probably not help. Performance in a very clean engine will probably not be improved. But a seal leak that is not due to physical damage may be stopped. And a sludged up engine may be helped.

I don't believe much in supplements. There is a short list of stuff that I believe in anymore. I believe in Auto-RX because it seemed to work for me.

I don't believe in pounding somebody because of what they believe. I like the idea of friendly discussion. Is is possible to discuss various things at this web site without people trying to pound each other?
