Auto-RX and my S500 results. . .

[JimF]

Just finished flushing the oil after about 800 miles with 16oz (for 8.5 qts) of Auto-rx in it. Engine is a 5.0L V8: 'chipped' to give 335hp with 367ft/lbs torgue. Pictures of the car/engine can be seen on my web page.

Here's two pics of the results.
I've just replaced both valve cover gaskets and I'm not about to remove them. Sorry! But you can see that it is CLEAN in there!

The filter:
It shows little if any 'particles' but the oil that was drained was mostly reddish-brown. The engine was not badly varnished/sludged but it's completely clean as you can see.

Where's your webpage? Does it have "before" photos.
How many miles on motor?

Forgot to include mileage,106K.

It came so clean that I do not need to do the 'second' treatment.

Read a previous thread about lifter 'tick-tick' to see why I tried Auto-rx. Also engine had varnish, etc after that many miles even though it was well maintained.

Check my Mercedes web page.
