    ARX in tranny

    I did the ARX in the tranny a few months back on a 99 lexus es300 u140e tranny with toasted nearly black fluid. I had just bought the vehicle. I put in 6 oz of ARX. After 1000 miles I drained and refilled 3 times with a quick drive in between each, and replaced with Amsoil synthetic ATF. I now...

    5w-20 as a rinse oil? Or separate cleaner

    Curiousity has gotten to me. I have read tidbits here and there that 5w-20 oil is an excellent cleaner for engines SO I was thinking that an engine could possibly benefit from doing a quick 1-2 or 2500 mile run on that as a sludge removal process? Even if my 99 ES300 with the 1mzfe engine is...

    ARX problem (not with the product)

    First post here so bear with me, I'm a lurker... I was about 900 miles into my auto-rx cleaning phase last week when I let my little brother borrow my ES300 for the weekend while I was away. He decided to show a nice gesture by changing my oil for me, knowing nothing about my arx cleaner. So...
