Auto Rx

[hvac]

Hey guys,
I was talking to someone yesterday about auto rx
and that I was going to try it and they brought up a good point.
My question is when you use auto rx and it cleans the inside of your engine, what keeps the loosened particles from stopping up your oil pump screen and filter ect. I have heard of people using similar products and it causing problems like this or even causing serious damage to the engine.

Can some of you guys explain how and why this will not happen with auto rx.

In advance, thanks for any and all comments.

p.s. I'm not saying that my engine has lot of sludge, its just got me to thinking.

This doesn't happen with Auto-rx because it liquifies the dirt inside your engine, so it then passes safely through the engine into the oil filter. Other more agressive solvent type flushes will break off larger chunks of dirt and can then cause clogging of the oil passages.
