Oil sludge elimination/prevention?

Is this a recommendation from the manufacturer? We ran 3-53 and 3-71
Detroit's in log skidders years ago and never had trouble with
multi-grade oils. The straight weights are just too hard to get started
in the winter, even with the propane block heaters.

I've never heard this one before with respect to DD engines.

Hey Phil, thanks a lot

Plenty of useful information.

I've already read about Auto Rx and saw the pictures posted there. It
seems to be a pretty outstanding achievement for some not so advertised
product.

Anyway Auto Rx was the closest solution that came into consideration
after reading about many other methods including the BILSTEIN R2000
flush machine (haven't found a service station offering that flush
close to my area, Boynton Beach Fl.)

I'm looking forward to hear about the results of your test using Auto
Rx.



Thank you again.

Nice addition Bill,

mine is 2002 Sebring sedan LXi with 58,000 miles on it.




Thanks

Beachrunner.

Can you describe more fully your test scenario? Engine type, prior
history, etc.?

I reviewed this web site and remain unconvinced. This was obviously a
seriously undermaintained engine. I'll bet that a few regular oil
changes with a quality oil would have had much the same effect. This
sort of test isn't really a test at all as there is no control. You'd
need to take at least two engines starting in the same condition and
then change the oil at that same intervals and use the magic elixir in
one and not the other.

My Chrysler 3.3L in my 96 Grand Voyager was cleaner than the after
photos on this web site after 178,000 miles and I never flushed the
engine, I just used Mobil 1 with 5,000 mile change intervals up to
150,000 and then 10,000 mile intervals from then until the accident that
totaled the van.
