I've been reading again and again on here how to "properly"run auto-rx in our engines. The mantra, run, rinse, run or you aren't doing UT "right" didn't seem to jive with my reading of the instructions so I emailed them. Here is the exchange below. It's your money, do what you want with it.
Hi David,
You certainly can add the 2 bottles of Auto-Rx to the existing oil with only 300 miles on it. Cleaning is best if this oil has a mineral oil base, as opposed to a full synthetic PAO or ester base. Yes, 24 fluid ounces would be fine.
Yes, then just run for 3000 miles. Then all you have to do is run a rinse phase for 3000 miles. You do not need to run a second rinse phase. A rinse phase is just an oil change interval for 3000 miles with no new Auto-Rx added.
After one rinse phase, you may start a second application if needed. It is alway clean, rinse , clean, rinse. NBot two cleans or rinses consecutively. Thanks for pointing out the instruction confusion. I will contact the Auto-Rx administration.

I am planning on ordering Auto-RX to treat my ford 6.9L diesel. I am a little confused by the instructions. Can you clarify them for me please?
I understand that I need approximately 22 oz of Auto-RX for my 11 quart capacity. I assume 24 ounces is close enough.
Here are my questions: Can I add it to an oil change that has been done within the last 300 miles? I understand the first two steps. From the way I am reading it, I am doing ONE treatment, two rinses and I am done. However, others are telling me that I am supposed to run a treatment, a rinse and then another treatment. Can you clarify this?
Thank you for your time
STEP 1 Add Auto-Rx® to a fresh fill of motor oil with a new filter at a rate of 2 fluid ounces per quart of sump capacity by dipstick measurement. Be careful not to overfill the crankcase.. Each bottle of Auto-Rx® contains 12 fluid ounces. STEP 2 Drive the vehicle as you normally would for a total of 3,000 miles. STEP 3 Drain the Auto-Rx®-fortified oil and refill, and install a new filter. STEP 4 Drive 3,000 miles on this oil change interval and repeat step 3. STEP 5 Congratulations! You have completed the recommended procedure.
