Hey guys, my car (00 eclipse 2.4l) currently has alot of lifter noise and just hit 100k miles so I wanted to put something in the engine that would quiet the ticking and help out the engine over all. It has hydraulic lifters, so they cant be adjusted. Anyways, I have seen Auto RX promoted on this site very often but I see that it costs about $30 a pop. So my question is, "Has anyone tried something else with success?" I went on a recon mission at Wallyworld and came back all confused beacause there were so many choices for oil/engine treatments. I'll list them to see what you guys know about them.
Restore. Engine restorer and lubricant. $5.44
Gunk. High mileage 5 min motor flush. $3.67
STP. Oil treatment. $1.68
Seafoam. $5.96
Lucas. Oil stabilizer. $9.68
the following recomend substitituting a quart of oil with their product.
Rislone. Engine treatment. $3.67
Slick 50. Engine treatment. $11.98
Slick 50. High mileage. $11.98
Duralube. Engine treatment. $14.44
So, many choices...
Are any of these a good choice or should I pony up the $ for Auto RX?
Let me know guys.
