    Reducing Oil Consumption - 96 Dodge Neon

    I know that the ARX treatment along with Castrol 10W40 High Mileage oil reduced my consumption from 1.5 quarts every 3000 miles to .25 quarts in my 22RE 4cyl. Toyota 4x4. And thats a fact!!!! Believe me, I tried everything and this did the job. I will try the 10W30 next oil change though instead...

    Toyota Manual Transmission

    I'm getting ready to do a ARX treatment in my 5 speed tranny with 137,000 miles on it. It has redline MT90 in it now. After the treatment should I continue to use the Redline or is there one thats better? And, how many miles should I run before changing it again? I'm a very conservitive driver...

    Auto-RX Question? (Engine--Tranny)

    Are the engine treatment and the tranny treatment the same thing? I keep trying to order a couple bottles of each and I can't seem to tell the difference between the two on my checkout list. I want to order this before the sale runs out so I need help here. Rando

    Best High Mileage Oil?

    In your opinion, what is the best High Mileage Oil? I'm currently using Castrol 10W40 in a 95 22RE with 135,000 miles. It has almost eliminated the oil consumption in my truck. I see alot of you like the Pennzoil. Any particular reason? Rando

    Oil Consumption (need advice)

    So, if my winters can get in the teens or maybe single digits during the night, should I run the 10W30,10W40, or 15W40? I'm currently using the Castrol 10W40 High Mileage Oil with pretty good results. Is the Penzoil Long Life better? Rando

    Oil Consumption (need advice)

    I had a bad oil consumption problem in my 95 Toyota 22RE 4x4 even after the ARX treatments. I used Mobil 1 10W30 and it didn't help at all. 1 qt every 1000 miles. Someone here suggested I use Castrol 10W40 High Mileage oil. It cut the use in half at the very least. Is it the High Mileage oil or...

    High Mileage Oils

    RE-JohnBrowning, You think the 40 weight is ok for the 22RE 4 cyl. engine? Thay viscosity is not too high? And you think thats making the difference more than it being a high mileage oil to help recondition seals? I like the Castrol oil but I'd try another brand if you think it would be better...

Someone suggested I run Castrol 10W40 High Mileage Oil. At first I used Mobil Drive Clean 10W30. It used that stuff up like...

    Your High Milage Vehicle

    We have a 92 Grand Marq. 4.6 v8 with 241,000 miles. Never missed a 3,000 mile oil change since it was bought new. Always used Castrol 10W30 and Motorcraft filter. At around 175,000 miles it started using a qt between changes and switched to 20W50 with no consumption or leaks. Also have a 95...

    Has info. from this website caused you switch your motor oil ?

    Before finding this site I used Valvoline and Fram filters in all my vehicles. I have switched to Castrol GTX and Chevron Supreme motor oil and use OEM filters on the Toyota. The other vehicles get Bosch or Super Tech filters. Oil and filters are changed at 3,000 miles, if I can wait that long...

    Call me stupid, Mr. Regular 87 octane.

    I live in southern Indiana. About 50 miles south of Bloomington, (IU). And 50 miles north of Louisville, KY. Went to work this morning and gas was $1.47 a gallon. On the way home the price had jumped to $1.80. This is for 86 octane. I use 92 in my Toyota 4x4 and it was $1.97. It has been around...

    Auto Windshield Cleaner

    Try using half water and half vinegar and wiping with a crumpled newspaper. Works great and is cheap. Vinegar is a great cleaner to cut through grime and bug guts. I've used this for years on all my vehicles with great success.

    Redline MTL in manual transmissions calling for ATF

    I recently switched my 95 Toyota 4x4 Ext. cab to Redline in the diffs. and tranny. There is a difference. It does shift smoother and I believe It drives better due to the Redline in the differentials. I used the MTL in the tranny and the 75W90 in the front and rear diffs. I will change them...

    Redline sl1 fuel additive,,great results...

    I've tried alot of different cleaners too. Cheveron Techron wasn't bad but the Redline is the one I'm sticking with. I get my gas at the same place all the time,(Sunoco), 92 octane. My mileage on a 95 Toyota 22RE was always around 18mpg. After the first Redline run it went to 22mpg and has...

    Berryman Chemtool in oil

    I'm planning to have a compression test done next week. I will keep you posted on the outcome for sure. Since I last posted I've changed the oil and went to the Castrol High Mileage 10W40 w/Toyoto OEM filter. I've only driven a couple hundred miles but it seems to run smoother and I definately...

    Berryman Chemtool in oil

    Tooslick, I'm sure your probably right about the engine being worn, although you wouldn't suspect it from the way the truck performs. I would imagine the previous owner wasn't as particular as I am with this truck. My plan is to see how this Castrol 10W40 HighMileage does, then I will try the...

    Berryman Chemtool in oil

    Frank, I'm sure I followed your instructions on the ARX right. And I used Mobil Drive Clean 10W30 for the applications. I was still using oil during the treatments and had to add a qt around 1,000 miles. And then I went to Mobil 1 10W30 because I wanted to try a synthetic and most people here...
