Quick Auto-RX question

[tuan209]

Hey Guys,

I just got an oil change and drove for about 200 miles. Is it too late to add Auto-RX now? Should I just wait for the next oil change to add the Auto-RX?

Thanks
Tuan

Yes, you can add it now.

Throw in the bottle and drive (hard)..s

Yep, put 'er in. But remember- don't overfill the crankcase...

Thanks guys! I used synthetic oil so should I still follow the 1500 mile recommendation or should I extend it further? If I were to extend it further, how much further should I extend it?

You can use any oil for the cleaning phase so just follow the directions. You must use cheap dino oil for the rinse.

How many miles on engine?

tuan209, since it is synthetic, you should extend your cleaning phase to some 2000 miles. When you have finished your cleaning phase, i really reccommend using a mineral oil for the cleaning phase. Did you read instructions?

You will want to extend it since you're using synthetics. Go at least 2,000 miles, but 3,000-4,000 may be better.

When you do the rinse phase, get the cheapest conventional oil you can, and go 3,000 miles.

For best results follow the instructions. When in doubt ask Frank.
