Can I use Auto-Rx with Shell Helix Ultra 5w-40? I recall reading somewhere that Auto-Rx works with Schaeffer Supreme, even though the latter contains some synthetic content, which is a No-no with Auto-Rx. Incidentally, the Auto-Rx treatment is destined for the fiancee's 2002 Toyota Celica...

I managed to score 3 cases of Schaeffer Supreme 7000 Syn-blend 20w-50. Waiting to go into my Suzuki Sidekick when I've gone 3,500 miles on current Chevron Delo 400 15w-40.

The whole thing can be summed up in 3 words: "Waste of time. Waste of money." Since 9/11/2001, millions of people have been forced to waste billions of hours standing in line, waiting to be checked. The same millions of people are forced to live in fear, looking over their shoulder. All...
