For Normal Engine Cleaning
STEP 1:
Add 1 full, 12 fluid ounce bottle of Auto-Rx® Plus, as part of a fresh oil change, with a new filter installed.
STEP 2:
For all oils treated with Auto-Rx® Plus, drive 3,000 Miles. For Full Synthetic Oil treated with Auto-Rx® Plus, drive 4,000 Miles.
STEP 3:
Drain out the oil and install new oil and filter. Drive 3,000-4,000 miles and do new oil and filter change as you normally would. Application is finished at this point.
Note:
There is no incompatibility with Auto-Rx and Mobil 1. However, M1 is a group IV, PAO oil base type oil. PAO oils require an addition of esters to hold the oils additive package in suspension. These esters are also polar or attracted to ferrous metals. These esters tend to compete for surface metal, as do the cleaning esters in Auto-Rx.
For maximum cleaning and rinsing we recommend that you run Auto-Rx with a Group III synthetic oil such as Pennzoil Platinum, for example, for absolute best results. After the cleaning and rinse, if you want to return to Mobil 1, we recommend running a maintenance dose of 3 fluid ounces with each oil change.
UOA shows us that the maintenance dose helps the performance of M1, from both lower wear metals, and greater detergency, as well as neutralizing acid build up in the oil from unburned fuel seeping past the piston rings.
For Engine Sludge
STEP 1:
Add 2 full, 12 fluid ounce bottles of Auto-Rx® Plus, as part of a fresh oil change, with a new filter installed.
STEP 2:
For all oils treated with Auto-Rx® Plus, drive 3,000 Miles. For Full Synthetic Oil treated with Auto-Rx® Plus, drive 4,000 Miles.
STEP 3:
Drain out the oil and install new oil and filter. Drive 3,000-4,000 miles and do new oil and filter change as you normally would. Application is finished at this point.
STEP 4:
For vehicles with heavy or extreme engine sludge, we recommend you repeat these steps with a 2nd application of 2 full, 12 fluid ounce bottles of Auto-Rx® Plus, as part of a fresh oil change, with a new filter installed.
For those experiencing oil consumption it is recommended that you inspect the PCV valve and replace if needed. A sticky PCV valve will trap positive pressure and force oil burning, as well as promoting sludge.
This application is also useful for those that own collectable cars, whereby the vehicle is only driven 1,000 to 2,000 miles per year.
Important Information: It is possible that the oil filter will become full of contaminants before the end of the application. At that point the oil will flow around the filter in the bypass mode. If you do hear abnormal valve ticking or noise, change out the oil filter and proceed to the recommended mileage. If this is not possible, change the oil and filter.
