I had a similar thought, maybe the Auto-RX gets black from deposits and congeals when cold [ including on the filter].

It probably melts and flows through the engine at temp.

I can't wait to try my order when it arrives.

I think my engines are fairly clean since thay have a steady diet of Redline oil or Mobil 1 at 7K OCI, and regular use of Redline SL-1 or Techron.

When I look through the oil fill hole in the valve cover, the engine looks slightly varnish stained, but quite clean.

But I'm sure it will be even better after an Aurto-RX treatment or two.
 
You guys criticizing Ken4's grass are very naughty... don't you know that you're not supposed to:

1. Talk about politics.
2. Talk about religion.
3. Make fun of the size of a man's *****.
4. Criticize a man's grass.

Try to be more respectful!

Those clumps may be the lanolin in ARX that is congealed, and colored brown.
I've heard of others that noticed soft deposits of an undetermined make up.
Speaking of lanolin, how about geting some sheep to keep the lawn in shape?

After 5 years / 60,000km, I decided it was time to try Auto-RX on a Suzuki Grand Vitara V6. This vehicle has always used synthetics. Dealer uses Shell Helix Ultra 15w50 and subsequently 5w40 for 10,000km intervals. After the 3 year warranty expired, I did my own oil changes and used Castrol SLX 0w30 subsequently. For this cleaning phase I used fresh Castrol GTX 15w40 with a brand new OEM filter and drove for 2500km / 3months. I decided to cut open the oil filter and see for myself (seeing is believing right?) what the oil filter picks up. I am truely amazed with ARX and am convinced it is the safest cleaner to use. There were goobs of sludge picked up between the pleats of the filter. I never imagined a vehicle using synthetic all its life will still have so much sludge buildup inside. Here are the pics. I am now on the rinse phase with fresh Castrol GTX and another fresh oil filter. I may just cut open the oil filter again and see what the rinse phase picks up.

Not to step on holy ground here but has anyone ever mixed RX with motor oil to see if it mixes? and just does not disperse? it the sludge really sludge or RX lanolin ester being filtered out?

i just ordered 6 bottles of it... i'll be using it in 2 vehicles... I'll try to take pictures of the valve train and torn open filters before and after. I have my fingers crossed.
 
hello about arx. whats the best filter to use to make sure it catches everything and whats a good oil to use i use amsoil but they say not to use syn so i am not to good with the reg stuff.also the 4 vehicals i have to do this for are at 100,000 miles except for 1 its a diesal with 200,000 any recomendations on a good way to do this iam in korea right now and have to tell my wife how to do this back home. all help will be great thanx
 
OMG. That is horrible looking. I've never seen an engine with that much crop on it at such low miles. I actually feel bad for that engine. Give it what it needs. A couple of doses of ARX.
 
Well, with regards to the topic heading, I agree 100% that ARX is amazing stuff!

I'm now about 400 miles shy of cleaning phase completion in my '95 Civic and two things I've noticed; my engine runs significantly smoother and also I checked the dipstick yesterday and found ZERO detectable oil consumption in 1100 miles. The engine never uses much anyway but I at least expected SOME usage! Never in my life have I seen zero consumption in four digits.

Yep, I think Frank makes a truly outstanding product.
 
can i use ARX with high mileage oil? where do you guys get it from, first time reading on it, seems pretty impressive.
 
I would use the complete bottle for 5qts of oil.You can use the existing oil but change your filter.Also read the instructions you recieve with the Auto-Rx thats important.
 
one more question my car takes 5 qts of oil. so if using auto-rx do i add 4 qts of oil and 10 ounces of auto-rx? or 5 qts of oil and 10 ounces of arx? thanks
 
hotstartup,
Add two oz.of ARX to each qt.of oil in you five qt. sump.The inventor of ARX(Frank)has said that ratio is important.Also use a new filter.

Huh? If it didn't mix with motor oil how would it get to the ring pack to clean it???

Believe me, the filter shows sludge with carbon particles.

The esters "diffuse" into the oil, Bruce.

No, that's probably his MAID, it's common for homeowners in Singapore to hire maids for the household.
