Auto-Rx safe to use with wet clutch
Test of Cycle-Rx in a Harley Davidson Motorcycle
Test Location: American Motorcycle Institute, Daytona Beach, Florida
Oil Analysis, Comments and Conclusion Provided by Dyson Analysis


Vehicle


2002 Harley Davidson RoadKing

Engine


Stock 88 CID Twin Cam

Start Mileage


10,770

End Mileage


12,500

Oil/Filters


Harley 20-50w; stock oil filters

Comments


Seemingly well maintained twin cam engine with a normal oil analysis signature before Auto-Rx.
Test Stats Provided by AMI

110 psi both cylinders (mileage: 10,770)

160 psi both cylinders (mileage: 12,500)
Note: 2 gauges were used to confirm 'after' results
Heads pulled at 12,500 miles

Test Duration: One month, 1730 miles

@2000 miles on fresh oil, NO Auto-Rx

@1030 miles after 12 ounces Auto-Rx added ("Cleaning Phase")

@700 miles AFTER fresh oil change with only residual cleaning effect of Auto-Rx ("Rinse Phase")

During cleaning lead bearing wear dropped to NIL, lead wear is a bit elevated by a dirt leak probably at the air filter or intake area. Auto-Rx while installed stopped the bearing wear .

Ring coating, wear dropped with Auto-Rx, spike of 14 ppm is oil or assembly lube add from post teardown.

Ingested dirt from air filter or intake , lead wear is being elevated by this but the Auto-RX treatment helped slow the wear rates. Air filter and ANY dirt leaks on engine need to be corrected.

Bearing overlay and assembly lube residuals, note Auto-RX contributed no wear during cleaning phase. Spike in tin is also related to dirt ingression in rinse phase.

Note MAJOR drop in solids production during cleaning phase , level returns to normal during rinse phase.

Oxidation


29%


38.5%


45.5%


Elevated trend indicates Auto-RX cleaning action is ongoing and active, oil is NOT oxidizing but the cleaning of deposits is.

Nitration


25%


31%


16%


A good measure of combustion efficiency and high levels of Nitration contribute to and enable varnish formation. Post Auto-Rx drop in Nitration means the cylinder is making much improved power, confirmed by correlating compression checks of up to 50 PSI increase.

Sulfur

Fuel and oil sulfur residuals, note the improved ring seal with Auto-Rx in cleaning phase.

Test 1 shows a normal shear trend for the oil and indicating SAE 40w, test 2 shows a oil that is SAE 20w grade and probably sheared from SAE 40w, test 3 is normal, solid SAE 50w as designed, in other words a clean engine doesn’t shear a average oil as easy.

Total Base Number (TBN)


9.5


8.0


10.0


Normal reserve alkalinity throughout test for the host motor oils. Auto-Rx does not harm the motor oil while cleaning.
Conclusions:
Relatively new HD engine on HD oil. Maintained by professionals of AMI. Saw impressive gains in performance and efficiency while dropping key wear areas in spite of an air or dirt ingression leak that persists throughout test.

Our conclusion is that Auto-Rx should be used in all Harley Davidson engines at least every 5,000 miles or annually. The Auto-RX treatment compensates for the lack of oil quality and real world dirt and cleanliness issues that all bikes will experience.

There is an implied endorsement there which, I believe, Frank should get Dyson Analysis's permission to use. (if he hasn't already)

Since this is posted under "a sale" topic and Frank is the creator/distributor of the product, I will construe this as "advertising" and not a user's UOA results. Terry may object to his comments/company being referenced in other's marketing material.

I don't know, others may see this differently.
 
This test belongs to Auto-Rx, this chemistry does wonders for all bikes, especially Harley.Try reading test 2 on Cycle-Rx (it is the best test ever done about a bike)

Bike Week has been supported by Auto-Rx and i wanted interested parties to know there is a bike week special price.

Sorry if this does not blend with your forum.
 
I have used AutoRX in my 1993 Ford Escort, and it actually worked like magic in that old engine. Fuel mileage went from around 35 to 36 mpg to 39 to just over 40 mpg. Performance was up DRAMATICALLY.

The AutoRX is a great product. I'm a believer.

And Frank didn't pay me to say that.

The big twins have 3 separate units (primary, tranny, and engine). The Sportsters combine the primary and tranny oil, with a separate engine oil.

The V-rods are all unitized...

And if I ride a "hardley" you ride... a "sushi-sickle."

Any tests on sport bike clutches with some significant horsepower? 150HP and high RPMs operating in a agressive sport-riding style are a far different animal than low-reving, low HP decades old technology engines just cruising along.

Sure, I used Auto RX, or you can call is Cycle RX, same product, in my GSXR750 road race bike this year. Slipper clutch and all, 2007 model. I don't have any specific test results to give, but I used the product with no problems in my Suzuki as I liked how it worked in my transport vehicle, a Power Stroke Diesel E350.

An low reving, low HP old tech engine is still air cooled and high torque with crushing inside loads. A 20w50 is necessary in that kind of application for the street, generally, while we use a 5-15w40 in our road race applications no problem. We have used SAE30 in some qualifying opportunities. One year we ran stock bottom end clearances, tight, on a GSXR600 and we ran a specially made SAE10 oil all year. No problems. The oil doesn't have the huge need for cooling like a low revving, low HP application.
 
We came up with Cycle-Rx name for bike week in 2006 and after paying for tests went to a web site just for bikes. Economics said join Cycle-Rx with Auto-Rx. In 2008 we did.

The chemistry works with any oil lubricated machinery. Only the ratio may change as in transmissions-power steering these units use base hydraulic oil, (very viscious) and would not use the ratio of 2 ounces of Auto-Rx per quart in engine or oil.

Glad you liked it
