They can't, so they have to pick a suitable position which has been modified over the years by listening to client feedback. Clean initially started at 500 miles and is now 3,000 isn't it? I also learn't over the years not to use oil containing ester, a very expensive lesson for me on one vehicle. Cheers..s
sprintman, if people who are going to use arx have either used dino oil or had infrequent oil changes then the condition of there engines may not be that good, if they have just bought a used car, maybe expect the worst.
Lets take my Mom's 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo that developed a slight leak at 95,000 miles. She bought the car new, and at 3000 miles we started using Mobil 1, she insisted on 3000 mile oil changes with Mobil 1, her car, her rules. I did the seal leak application of arx, but I did a double Rinse, no more leaks, when you popped the oil cap off the valvetrain looked spotless, I believe arx was a success because the engine was so clean.
I know Gary Allan may read this, and please Gary do not feel bad about this statement, but when it comes to arx Stephen a.k.a. sprintman is the expert on arx, and Gary you come in 2nd.
The Monte Carlo now has 108,000 miles and there are no leaks.
