Where did you read that Auto-RX is a "solvent"?

Just a generic term for 'that which dissolves.' Perhaps 'detergent' is more accurate?

nearly 200k on my accord in sig, orig trans and engine etc.
people sell vehicles cuz of issues they don't want to deal with or just loaded and buys new vehicle every x yrs.
when I was in the mrkt for a used car I went to test dr an oddy owned by a city lawyer. I puled the dip and no oil but a tad bit of blk sludge at the tip.
