The Auto-Rx maintenance dosage is recommended anywhere between 2 to 3 oz for the maintenance dosage and it does not have to re-added until the next oil change, but has anyone in here tried to add more than the 3oz for the maintenance dosage. From the oil analysis and what Frank said here, it is all natural and does not show up in any oil analysis thus this leads me to the conclusion that more will not hurt anything. The one issue that can come up are the seals and I do know that some have recommended if the seals to continue to leak to either increase or decrease the maintenance dosage to fit the specific application needs.

But here is where the confusion comes in, Frank has mentioned many times on this web site for the people who do a regular cleaning cycle that Auto-Rx does get used up during the cleaning process thus no need to extend the cleaning phase. I hope that Auto-Rx does not get used up during the maintenance phase as it is cleaning away the burned carbon and I do hope that it can last the 10k mile interval beyond which most people in here do not go. I understand that in the cleaning phase more carbon is cleaned out than during the maintenance phase but I hope that Auto-Rx does not diminish in its ability to clean out carbon at the end of the oil interval. Your opinions please.
 
Kgboo7stb,

If you do the cleaning and rinse phases 3oz of Auto-Rx will keep the sludge out of your engine why use more. I use 3oz at each oil change and it works for me.

There are photos of my valves on this web site high milage 1999 Dodge Caravan.
 
dbd- nice photos (I mean that), but without before pics, it doesn't prove ARX did anything at all. Do you have any before pics?
 
Moving2,

When I started useing Auto-Rx about 4 0r 5 years ago I did not realize how important the photos would be.Unfortunatley two weeks ago while stopped at a red light someone traveling at about 40 miles per hour hit the rear of the van and the insurance company totaled it out. I just bought a 2002 Chrysler T/C with 40,000 miles.

I plan on taking the valve covers off before and after I do the Auto-Rx cleaning and rinse phase I will post the photos
 
Are we all having a bad luck lately, my 14 year old probe got hit by our VP of HR at work and it is a total loss. Perfectly standing still, like you were at the light and got backed into, ouch!
