Can you use Auto-RX and Neutra 131 or LC and FP simultaneously?

First post from a relative newbie who has been lurking for a couple of months enjoying the collective wisdom of the group.

Currently at the 1000 mile mark of my first Auto-RX cleaning cycle in a high mileage, high compression, high maintenance engine.

I am wondering if I can or should use any Schaeffer Neutra 131 or either of the Lube control products (Fuel Power or Lube Control) at the same time. Or will either of those products interfere with the Auto-RX?
 
In the oil the Auto-Rx is sufficient. It is used as a stand alone product to clean your oil lubricated system. In your fuel you can use Neutra 131 or Fuel Power anytime, even during the clean and rinse cycle of Auto-Rx.

peterr, remember that Fuel Power goes only in the fuel. Lube Control goes in the oil only. Neutra can go into fuel or the oil. Auto-RX is only for the oil, although it can also be used in transmissions, etc. Don't put Auto-RX in the gas.

I personally believe in Auto-RX. I had a seal leak and I tried both Valvoline MaxLife motor oil (which is supposed to have a seal conditioner) and a stop leak product to try to stop the seal leak. Neither worked. The Valvoline MaxLife did seem to really run great in my car, however.

I tried Auto-RX and after the Auto-RX cleaning the seal leak stopped. I can't prove it was the Auto-RX that stopped the leak and I am not a lubrication chemist or engineer. But I can state that the seal leak stopped and did not come back. That is the simple truth. It made me a believer in Auto-RX. Plus Auto-RX is considered a safe and natural product, although I certainly would not drink it.

If you consider Auto-RX too expensive you can try Neutra. It can be used in the oil and the gas-follow the directions on the container. The guy who used to own this web site (Bob) really believed in it. What I was hearing was that it worked kind of like Auto-RX but would not necessarily stop a seal leak. The smell was not too bad for me. I find Fuel Power and Lube Control to be very strong.

I once put a full 12 oz. of Neutra in my fuel tank and it seemed to improve my fuel mileage. The car ran really good also. I didn't seem to get the same effect used smaller amounts.

Based on the results I achieved with Auto-RX I figure it is worthwhile to do a cleaning once a year and use maintenance doses of 3 oz. each oil change. If you wanted to use Neutra instead you could maybe do a yearly cleaning with it-but I don't believe it is intended for continual use as maintenance doses.

There was a mechanic at this web site who swore that Auto-RX worked fantastic in sludged up engines. I think he was kind of a Toyota specialist. And I have heard that Auto-RX is used by some used car dealers.
