Definitely not! You don't want to waste perfectly good oil!quote:

Because for some reason the different esters in Auto-rx compete for space with the esters in your oil, so it just takes longer to accomplish the same level of cleaning.quote:

You can add it to your existing oil if you wish, just put on a new oil filter first.quote:

I just stumbled upon all this today and I'm trying to come up to speed.
I've got a '99 Mazda Protege which I bought a couple years ago from Hertz Car Rentals. I commute about 110 miles a day and its got 135,000 miles on it. I just got the oil and filter changed yesterday.
If after reading a bit more about Auto-RX, I decide to try it, do I just pour it in, or wait to add it to the next oil change? I guess I'm worried that it'll be too much fluid in the engine. And then drive around for about 1000 miles (2 weeks for me!) and then have the oil (and filter) changed again. That should be all there is to it, right?
