Is there a spot to find out what you're talking about? I just remember that ARX was all the rage when I joined this site. After being away from the site for some time, it doesn't seem to be talked about nearly as much.

Well, you'll just have to look back through the old stuff for yourself. No matter who tells the tale, you'll get a slanted story. I particularly dislike the stuff, but that's just me. Sprintman, on the other hand, is a distributor, or so he has claimed, so obviously neither of us are impartial people to get the straight talk from. You'll best serve yourself with research.

That's cool. I looked back last night, but didn't notice anything. I'll probably have to go back further. I used ARX once. Not really sure it did anything. At the time I assumed it did something since it was so hyped on here.

Conventional oil, run it a looooooooooooooooooong time. Forget 2,500 miles.

I ran 1 cycle through my truck last year.
A little history, its a 1993 Chevy 1500 pickup with a 305, the truck appears to have been severely neglected, had tons of crud under the valve covers and in the intake valley.
The Auto Rx most definitely did some cleaning, I cut open the oil filter and there was alot of crud in the pleats. I had the valve cover of the other day, it looked cleaner, but I think it will take another cycle or 2 before I am happy with it.

There are lovers and haters of it on this site, but it did work as advertised for my application.
