I have a small engine building shop here in fl, with 24 years experience building automotive engines. I specialize in doing japanese engines, in particular toyota trucks and 4runners. I would like to share my experiences with AUTO RX.
1 - nissan 3.0 v6 in a p/u, high mileage, with a severe rear main leak. Completely stopped with only autorx.
2 - Dodge caravan 3.0v6 (mitsubishi) with a knocking from the auto trans. Stopped with autorx.
3- honda accord 1.8, with stuck rings. Stopped burning oil during second treatment.
4 - and the most impressive - Toyota 4wd, 217,000 mi, 22re, severly sludged. the sludge had crystalized and riddled with carbon grit. I told the owner I didn't think the engine would last, but offered to try some autorx in it. He ran it for 1,800 miles on the first bottle (yes, I advised him otherwise)and returned the truck to me. I removed the valve cover, and to tell the truth, I was floored! The sludge was all solublized, and there was none of the grit in the oil I expected. I am even seeing bare metal in some places. I knew this engine would be what would make or break AutoRX in my opinion.
As A mechanic, I see a definite place for autorx in my shop. There are many vehicles that aren't worth the cost of an engine rebuild or replacement. If they are leaking, sludged, or suffering from gummed up lifters, Autorx is a way for me - as a shop owner - to effectively repair thier engine, make some money, and develop a devoted customer. I will continue to use AutoRX, and it's a welcome addition to my toolbox.

As an engine builder, 2 things are of utmost importance to me: tolerances and cleanliness. there are types of sludge and carbon that are almost impossible to remove, and I refuse to use any type of blasting media, as i think it's impossible to completely remove from the parts. finding chemicals that work well for cast iron and aluminum is almost impossible. With this kind of experience, you can see why I would doubt AutoRX would actually clean the carbonized oil out of the 22re engine I mentioned. To say it was almost disbelief when I saw the valvetrain was sludge - free would be an understatement. Finally, a product that works. Pricey? well, compared to some of the more commercially available products, yes. But then I get about 3,000.00 to rebuild a toyota 3.0v6. You figure out the cost. Good thing it can't fix timing chains, head gaskets, and "ventilated" blocks. I'd be looking for a new career !
