This article is a perfect summary to what I have always been say about not using oil additive and engine cleaners. Who are these experts on this board that are pushing these engine cleaners like Auto-RX and Neutra and such and then claiming these unbelievable results? These are companies with good sales literature that goes out to their people convincing them this is good and then those people come to boards like this raving the quality of different products based on some literature thet was sent to them and how much better their engine runs.
I could not think of anything worse than loose "sluge", that the Auto-RX type cleaners are claimng to remove, floating around the engine. Remember, before any oil goes through the oil filter, it goes through the oil pump pick-up which has a screen that blocks larger things, such as thick "sludge" from going into the filter. Like an air filter, it will eventually clog up when this "sludge" is suddenly removed at once. Just read the article before buying any of the product, other then oil, people are recommending.
