Amsoil & Auto-Rx is it a good combo?

[Da Game]

I have 3000 miles currently on the Amsoil 5w30 and SDF filter. The car has been on crude (the dealer brand)since new, and OCI every 3.75k mi, the mileage now is 56600. I used the Amsoil Engine Flush on the first application. I was wondering can I use the Auto-Rx to finish off the current Amsoil, and what affect will this mixture have? I want to run a second Amsoil perhaps the series 2K 0W-30. So far there has been no oil leaks that I can see. I read the Auto-Rx website and it suggest using regular oil. Any and all info., will help. Btw, I experienced heavy smoke within the first 1000 miles, since than no problems since any idea what that might have been??

IIRC - You can use Auto-Rx with synthetic - but you must flush with conventional oil.

How many miles should I leave the Auto-Rx in, that is with the Amsoil? Will it clash with Amsoil to produce the same cleaning?

Stick to what AutoRx recommends and keep on truckin.

Go to the AutoRx site and ask Frank.

I think it's 3000 miles with synthetic - It won't clash with Amsoil.....

While I do not recommend Auto-RX or Amsoil, I believe Auto-RX recommends you not use a syntetic with their product. This is for good reason because if it works, the synthetics have poor solvency and may not keep the sludge removed in suspension.

Q: Does it matter what type of oil I use with Auto-Rx®?
A: It does not matter what type of oil you use for the cleaning phase of the Auto-Rx® application. However, for maximum results we recommend that you use plain, non-synthetic oil for the “rinse” phase. Please see Application Instructions for complete details.

Q: Why do you recommend non-synthetic oil for the rinse" phase of the application?
A: We recommend simple, non-synthetic oil (do not use-semi synthetic or high-mileage oil) for this important step in the Auto-Rx® Application. Synthetic oil has a complex additive package that polarizes the liquefied debris on the engine’s internal oil-lubricated parts. The goal is to rinse all the internal parts of this liquefied debris, and a good “Conventional Oil”, with its simple additive package, does the job very well.

i also heard you should use conventional oil with auto-rx...just go with some good quality havoline

 

[TooSlick]

Yes it will work just fine, based on actual experience....

Frank has never presented any data to back up this claim that you can run synthetics with AutoRX. It's very strong stuff and will work with any oil. I think that's a good thing....
