5 bottles divied up? LOL, that's funny.
Once you guys up there in the great white north try it you'll be buying 5 bottles for yourself, each one of you. It's not inexpensive, but for the results you get it's worth using. The difference in how the engine runs is quite noticeable. If you put it in your trans you will see noticeable changes/improvements.
As gas becomes more and more expensive and cars continue to get more and more expensive and repairs become more and more expensive, the cost of ARX will be easier and easier to justify.
Buy cheap tools and they break, you end up buying another one to replace it. Buy a quality product that really works and gives significant results that are simple and safe to achieve-that makes sense.
I had to overcome the cost factor too-in my mind. It was difficult to justify paying that much for an oil additive. We are accustomed to seeing low cost additives and quick fix products in a bottle for $3 or $4 etc. and we think, oh my, $20 for a little bottle of ARX?
Too many peope on BITOG have used ARX and have had great results to be skeptical at this point IMO. I was a big skeptic but after reading so many positive reports here I was convinced that I had to try it.
I don't drive new cars, in fact all of my cars have at least 50,000 miles and are at least 7 years old, one has 129,000 miles. I need all the help I can get to keep them going and alive. My Olds Silhouette minivan is the one with 129,000 miles and it runs terriffic after ARX and several fuel injection/fuel sytem cleaners run through it.
I also had the plugs, wires and O2 sensors replaced about a year ago. That's maintenance too, just like ARX, except that replacing plugs, wires and O2 sensors cost hundreds of dollars.
My point? Don't fret about the price of ARX. It works, it's a lot safer and gentler than solvent cleaners and your engine will give you better performance and last longer-Arx pays for itself.
