Lubegard was brought about by a guy that formulated the original Mobil 1. I forget his name but a very intelligent man indeed. Pretty much any transmission shop you walk into will have Lubegard for sale. I have used it for years ( the RED bottle and the power steering protectant) and have actually noticed that it does what it promises in most cases. I believe it is a plant ester technology. I have never used BG.
BG, I think Lubegard's stuff outdated.
what are you trying to solve with it?
application might be the key to which is best for you.
application might be the key to which is best for you.
actually i use both products..i use lubegards engine protect, its a great friction mod, in my oil and bg limited slipII in my diff. and lubegard platinum in my transmissions and transfer case.
Why not go with a synthetic ATF and forget the additives.
i use redline d4 atf in transmission,redline 75w140 in diff which i changed and replaced seals and bearings while at it.
The Red Line gear oil has all the LS additive you need already in it. What vehicle are you using these products in?

From their website:
LUBEGARD® technology was developed under the direction of Phillip S. Landis, Ph.D., a highly distinquished research chemist who headed the Mobil Oil Applied Lubrication Research Group until his retirement in 1984. Dr. Landis is a worldwide leader in the mechanistic studies of elimination, rearrangement and pyrolysis reactions of additive preparations for fuel and lubricant applications, and of catalytic organic reactions and petrochemicals. He holds more than one hundred patents.

And you don't think Mobil 1 and Amsoil have excellent chemists working for them?. Or a team of excellent chemists?. The patents he filed while an employee of Mobil are the IP (intellectual property) of Mobil and not himself or any other company.

I would think the D4 Red Line and the 75W-140 Red Line gear oil would be all that you need without any additional additives.
Both Lubegard and BG make good products I just think they are not necessary in your application.

I have Redline D4 with lubeguard platinum in wife's 2003 Honda Accord with magnefine filter. The car shifts great although no notable difference from just Redline D4. I will run the ATF at least 30 K with this setup

Is Lubegard Bio, and their transmission formula compatible with A-Rx?

Never said that. Mobil, Amsoil, Shell, and a lot of other companies have excellent chemists working for them. I was just answering AzFireGuy79 question about the head chemist that works for International Lubricants. And I agree about intellectual property being Mobils. My Dad worked for the Mobil Field Research Lab in Dallas for 30-years and he invented some sort of exploration tool. He had to sign the design over to Mobil and they have the patent on it. I still have the original drawing and blueprints, and a copy of the papers where he had to sign it over to Mobil.

That's what I thought when I read your post. Maybe someone knows for sure.

Lubegard is an additive that is intended run continuously with your fluid of choice with the idea that it may improve the quality of that fluid. It does contain bio-derived esters as well as other compounds.
Auto-Rx is intended as a safe cleaner to use in your transmission for 1000-1500 miles to gently clean the metal throughout the unit. It is recommended to do a complete fluid exchange after the cleaning miles have been run. No "rinse" cycle is needed for automatic transmission application. Just go back with your fluid of choice or recommended fluid.
If you have some Lubegard in there with the ARX, just run it longer, like 1500 miles. They are both esters, and it may take a few more miles to clean it completely.
