I'm trying the ARX cleanze, in my 4.6 Police Interceptor. Prob is she uses oil here and there. When I see I'm at a qt. of usage, I of course replace it. I was wondering, what amount of ARX is needed, to replenish the mix to original strength, when a quart of host oil has been burned off? Thanks!
ARX Replenishment Dose When Using Oil>?

ULVER, is this your 2nd engine treatment, or am I thinking about your trans treatment?
Did the AAMCO MV go in yet?
I hope your oil consumption goes down!

Still on the first application. Getting close to a change. The Mercon V should go in next week.

Considering most of the working chemistry is "clinging" to the walls of stuff...I wouldn't worry.
That's interesting Dan. I wish you'd go into more detail.
Between replacing qts., and having to guess miles, because the odemeter is gonerzzz...I wonder if it's all worth it!
You could always add oil that has been treated with A-rx in the proper ratio.
I think it works out to about 1 ounce per quart (correct me if I'm wrong). I would simply add a little to it and not worry to much about the exact ratio. A little too much won't do any harm.
Groucho is correct - if you pre-mix in 2 oz with the quart of oil you are filling from, you don't worry about the proper ratio. I wouldn't worry about it unless I were burning a quart in less than 750 miles - that was the original duration until Frank changed to 1500 miles to accomodate synthetic oil use.
12oz bottle treats a 6 quart capacity, so 2oz per quart.
Auto-rx is made from organic esters.
Esters are polar by nature. So they are naturally attracted to the metal.

This is correct. 2oz. per quart.
No replenishment is needed - on the Auto-Rx forum, Frank provided this response to a user who had already made up one quart and needed to add yet another quart 800 miles into the clean phase:

Auto-Rx is already on the metal. Oil burning will not effect Auto-Rx cleansing. Just top off oil and continue with correct application for your engine."
