EDIT:
I just found ARX FAQ and I think I found my answer.But what do you guys think about what my Mechanic said in the lower part of my post?
Hello,
I was wondering if an Auto Rx cycle will stop a Rear Main seal leak in a 1997 Tahoe with 117,000 miles? It is starting to leak a bit. I did an Auto Rx treatment at 99,000 miles just to help clean up the engine as I bought it used. I have been using Lube Control sence right after the ARX at 99,000 miles. Truck runs great and I have been using Castrol GTX 5w30 oil with outstanding UOA's!
My mechanic advised me not to ever use a additive to swell seals. He said it would be a temporary fix and then the seal/leak would get worse.
What sould I do? Thank you!
