Auto RX in my Taurus GL

[gavinl]

Finishing my final "rinse" cycle with dino oil and picked up an average 2mpg gain from 17 to 19mpg on a 180+k tired Vulcan OHV!

Another 500 miles to finish off the rinsing and giving her Mobil 1 10W-30, hoping to pick up another 1mpg

Frank!

I'm in the rinse cycle in my Mitsubishi truck 70k , I see a 1-2 mpg increase as well , like you said after the next change then a synthetic fill maybe another 1-2 more will happen ? Cool

Just put in Mobil 1 10W-30 for Fall/Winter....I'm hoping for another slight bump up in mileage for the ole Taurus

btw, I followed Pablo's recommendation of finishing two rounds of AutoRX then AMSOIL flush. Left the oil draining overnight and topped off with M1. She took the entire 5qt jug! Compared to 4.5qts during my regular oil changes in the past

Good job. Sounds like you got rid of a half a quarts worth of evil out of your motor. How much draining occured after the first 15 minutes? Curious.

I didn't measure the quantity that came out initially but the overnight drain really meant something!

Thanks to Pablo for his engine flush FAQ

Final flush with fresh oil, good idea!

To clean out the last old oil in the pan I will sometimes pour in a pint of fresh oil after almost all the oil has drained. Watch it drain and you can see when the fresh stuff works its way through.

Exactly what I do but I use and entire quart of the cheapest dino. Like a $1.50 so who cares.
