After going through all of the Auto-rx posts in the additives forum, I called the number on there website and asked them if I HAD to run a Dino oil after using there product. He (I assume Frank Miller??) said he would NEVER run a synthetic oil in a toyota. He said the oil gallies(spelling??) would clog easier using a synthetic oil. He said synthetics really add to the problem and he would only use a dino oil and auto-RX. Now obviously it sounds like he is pushing auto-rx, but could it be true that Dino's are best for Toyota engines? This contradicts 100% of what I hear, especially with there sludge problems. **This post could technically go into two forums, but I chose this one bc it is oil related. I'd appreciate it if anyone has any info. on this. It sounds very odd to me. As mentioned before in a previous post, i really don't need to use a flush, but was thinking of trying it for preventative maintainece. thanks
I emailed him to see if he could tell me what he meant by using dino in toyotas. He sent me this. It varies from what was send during our phone conversation. No mention of oil gallies here.
"Dino Oil flushes out third party abrasives much easier than synthetic
plus it is much better to repair seal leaks if necessary."
