When to use AutoRX?

[rich mds]

I have been doing a lot of reading regarding AutoRX lately on their site as well as this BITOG site.
While many here say its good to use it on higher mileage cars or leaks or some sludge. The AutoRX site recommends it for newer cars as well, saying it can clean out metal deposits and other dirt even if the engine is new.
So I am wondering what everyone's opinion is on using it on a new engine say with about 30K miles.

Rich,

I start using Auto-Rx when I do the first oil change on new vehicles. My theory is why give the sludge/varnish/debris a chance to start. I don't want to try and fix a seal leak, I want to prevent it. So my recommendation is to do a clean as soon as you can, then do a 3 ounce maintenance dose every oil change after that.

Auto-RX is primarily a carbonacous deposits cleaner.In extended independent testing we have seen a benefit using Auto-RX as a "liquid filter".

I agree that using RX as a new engine cleaner is a good one. I would wait until the last part of the initial fill oil drain interval, say last 1500 miles of a 3000 to 4500 mile initial miles on a gas engine with a fresh oil filter ( full flow). 2 to 3 ounces per qt capacity is optimum.

The amazing thing about this product is that it is slow and gentle while cleaning, lubricity is superior to oil on its own and the "liquid filter" capability assists scavenging break-in and assembly debris that cause odd wear issues for the most discerning.

If I can figure out how to make a oil filter prepackaged with RX in a gelatinous form we may be able to revolutionize the full flow oil filter industry !
