I performed a ARX clean and rinse phase on my vehicle about 15K miles ago. I have not been using the ARX MD. Do I need to perform another clean and rinse or is it OK to start using an MD now?
 
The vehicle has 102K. I have used Mobil 1 and on the last change plain Napa Dino.

Perhaps LC20 would be a better maintenance choice. Thoughts ???
 
You should be fine, using the MD now, without doing another full clean/rinse. Just considder using 4oz instead of 3. This seem to give even better results.
Personally, I think ARX is a better maintenance choice than LC20.
 
At 15,000 miles after Auto-Rx Application still have time to go directly to Maintenance Program.

Why the Maintenance Dose?

You have just finished with a cleaning and rinse applications, to clean up the motors internals with respect to harmful deposits, but you are really stopping at third base.
Early on with Auto-Rx we had suggested running a clean and rinse cycle every 25,000 miles to keep a motor deposit free. Over the last 3 years we have realized that it is more effective to run a smaller dose of Auto-Rx with each oil change.

In addition to keeping your motor’s vital internals clean, Auto-Rx has shown to reduce wear, as well as providing for a lower coefficient of friction than that of motor oil alone. With just three fluid ounces in the sump, enhanced lubrication is provided as well fuel efficiency. So why wait utilizing the Auto-Rx benefits every 25,000 miles, when you can have it working every time you turn the key.

The maintenance dose has shown excellent results through used oil analysis, with both conventional oil runs and full synthetic oil, with extended drains.

I would start the maintenance dose right away. I think you will find that you will get aditional cleaning and protection, in that you had a relatively high mileage unit with only one cleaning and rinse application. I can't argue with the results of the maintenance dose posted here at BITOG from both reduced wear and mileage.
