Auto-rx change overdue

[Bluj40]

I had put in a whole bottle of auto-rx in my 2002 accord which had about 41000, now im at 43200 still on the cleaning phase. The instructions said that I had to drain the 1500 later. I went completely passed that. Is it necessary to do the whole cleaning process all over again or continue to the rinse phase? After the rinse phase, I wasgoing to put a 3oz maintenance dose and 1 oz of LC together to ensure extreme cleanliness.

Drain the oil, continue as normal. '1500 miles' is a general Auto-RX recommendation that could mean anything from 1500 miles of pure highway driving to 1500 miles of bumper-to-bumper in-town traffic comprising of many times the hours of operation.

In the realm of oil, rarely is anything 'exact'.

Change oil/filter, select a dino and continue for say 2,000 miles or whatever. I ran a clean for 5,000kms while testing RX.
