Should Auto-RX be used in new car.

[Mystic]

Should Auto-RX (a maintenance dose) be used in a brand new car?

Wait untill you have a few thousand miles on the car(3-5k) before you use the Lube Control but the fule power right away. But you could use the Auto RX in place of the Lube control if you like, both would work well.

Why? Just run quality oil.

I would probably go with LC, from a financial standpoint.

I would contact Frank on this point. Seems that a "new" engine has likely some junk floating around in it that ARX would be beneficial in helping keep suspended.

There is, in an older thread, a specific mention of this by Frank (if memory serves).

If my memory serves me there was a post on someone who treated their engine at 1000 miles and found it had cleaned more than would be expected.

There is also the issue of carbon buildup on the pistons before the rings break in which caused carbon tracts.

I ran ARX in my car with 6800 miles for that exact reason. I wanted to remove any shaving and other junk that might still be floating in the engine. Coming up on 8500 miles and all is good.

I bought a new 2001 Ford PSD diesel truck and used Auto-Rx. My daughters 2003 Mazda got its first clean at 56 miles. Both are over 12K, no leaks and just maintence doses of Auto-Rx at oil changes. I personally recommend it on a new vehicle. My analysis after the clean was super. I did not have the factory oil or the auto-rx oil tested, just the first change after that.
