Hi fellow Bitgoers,
I just ordered two bottles of Auto RX. I was searching both here and on the Auto RX website. I have a 98 Toyota Sienna with some mild sludge around the edges of the valve cover and some varnish. See the photo album link for details.

Following the OCD of most loyal Bitogers, I want some feedback of what I should do in an effort to best remove most of this crud.
Option 1 - Should I run one bottle for the first phase, do the rinse for the second phase and then use the second bottle after the rinse phase.
Option 2 - should I just use two bottles for the first phase.
I know it seems kind of dumb, but on the Auto rx website, the instructions don't say replace one quart of oil with one quart of auto rx at your next oil change. I'm assuming that I would be replacing equal parts oil/auto rx with the total of oil volume required which is 5 litres.
One final question, for the rinse phase should I use dino or can I swap back over to synthetic? I normally use full synthetic during the winter months, since I'm up in Canada.
Current Oil fill is Mobil Super 5000 5w-30.
Regards, JC.
