ARX with valvoline with 4300 miles

[Joe1]

I did an arx treatment today. The previous owber of my 91 accord had valvoline all climate in it. Will it be okay to go 5k miles with this oil. I intended to start treatment at 3500 miles but forgot about it

I would go for an oil and filter change first. A clean filter and fresh oil is good for your engine no matter what wou are doing to it .

It's almost always a good idea to change the oil immediately after buying a used car. As an example, I bought my Accord with 90,000 miles on it and the salesman told me that he would have the oil changed before I picked it up. He lied, the oil was dark after the 65 mile drive home. The next OCI was 4000 miles with an HDEO, and the oil barely changed color.
