Run this clean/rinse longer as you have removed most bad stuff. I always run a much longer second go as I'm currently doing in my BMW. 5,000 mile (8,000km) clean/rinse this time.

ST16 (e-core) filter
1500 miles on filter/oil
Mobil Clean 5000 oil
About 148K on Engine when filter changed
As you can imagine. Engine with more power. Smoother idle. etc.
Valve cover was removed pre clean phase, post clean phase, and post rinse phase with only slightly improved "clean look." Actually, I thought they were unremarkable myself. Varnish still there, but just lighter.
Also, there were several short runs of 2K OCI's due to oil turning black quickly prior to Auto-RX use. Purchase of minvan at 138K. Those oil filters were cut open also. But nada in them, just very dark.
All I can say is WOW!!! The Auto-Rx sure did its thing. Phenomenal cleaning effect.
This makes my last ARX'ing in my '95 Civic look extremely bland in comparison but the Auto-Rx will do what it can in any vehicle IMO.
StevieC mentioned sending the photo to Frank- I second that.
