Well, I'm not so convinced the AutoRx is the engine panacea the redneck types on Bobistheoilguy forum claim. Expensive is a vast understatement. $25 for a teeny weeny bottle(8oz.?). Most claims of success are: "smoother running engine", "it sounds better", stops leaks???, cleaner dipstick,cleaner filler cap. Redneck logic and justification of the bloated price.

I used it to try and fix a sticky lifter. It simply didn't work. There's a lot of placebo effect going on with this stuff. There is a lot of sponsorship bias...and no one better deny that. There is a lot of rationalization that it must work it's expensive. Does it fix sticky lifters on a Volvo? Not mine.
Oh, and BTW...what about the buy 2 bottles for cars with over 100K....a real deal for we bricksters.

I categorically disagree with the patently false recommendation of" follow the AutoRx treatment and change to synthetic". Utter nonsense. Use Mann filters and Walmart oil and save yourself some $$.
