Maybe the brown globs are RX being filtered out?
I had a similar thought, maybe the Auto-RX gets black from deposits and congeals when cold [ including on the filter].quote:

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?quote:

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.

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

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