I am at 1600 miles into the cleaning phase and have noticed some real neat things going on. My dip stick had about a 3 inch strip of hard baked on deposits. They were so hard that you could not even scrape them of with your finger nail. After returning from a week trip I pulled the dip stick and noticed that a large portion of the baked on deposits had left. Granted about half is left, but it is just amazing to see even in the cleaning phase how this product is working. Also to note, the portion of the dip stick that I am talking about is not in the crankcase oil it is way above the fill line. I sure it will get some of the splashing that takes place. My vehicle is a 1994 ford f-150 351 windsor with 123,000 miles. I purchased it a few months ago with limited past oil change history. The oil back in the 94 day's were not as good as today's I am sure. That may explain the hard baked on deposit on the dip stick. I will take the cleaning phase to 2,500 and the rinse with Walmart Supertech oil.

Following the application instructions to letter, do 2 treatments, then go on maintenance. You will be more excited than you are now!
My 97 Firebird, my first ARX test mule, had funky discoloration all over the dipstick. ARX started clearing it off almost immediately. I was pretty chuffed when I saw that, but when I went to top the oil off a little and found that the varnishy deposits which had been baked on to the sides of the fill tube were turning into liquidy goo, I frolicked. I had to stop, because the other customers at the gas station were staring, but I was thrilled. 
I always check my dipstick in private
Geez Steve 20, get your thoughts out of Hazard County, with the new Daisy Duke.
The lower end of oil dipsticks should clean up nicely where there is decent flow of ARX fortified oil. No shame in checking that out in public.

Good time to end this subject. Only talking about motor oil and auto rx here.
RedOak,
I am sorry about my previous post. Perhaps a moderator will delete it. But the real content of ARX working where oil flow is prevelent is confirmed by my obersations as well.
