    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I've used the car version of this with good results. I tried to find the website where a guy used in a seriously gunked up Nissan 240. He was skeptical to say the least, but the photos were impressive. I couldn't find the page.

The photos on the front page of the auto-rx page might be from his test.

this looks interesting.....

also, i did end up dropping the oil pump on the honda, gave it a good cleaning and some new gaskets....now just waiting on some long stainless socket cap bolts to button her up and press the button.....:)
 
I second the auto-rx used it in my TDI and it lowered my oil consumption from ring pack cleaning. The guys over at BITOG are fans of this stuff and that says a lot because their a bunch of sceptics. Dan

The best news is this shouldn't do any harm. I've been kind of following the product for a couple of years after hearing about it at bobistheoilguy.com, which is the same place you did. Auto-rx is commercially connected to that forum and negative remarks are 'not common' if you catch my drift.

I wonder how true this statement is?

Nessism any info on a bitog/auto-rx connection?
 
a little update. i have been working on the honda, getting her cleaned up (not really that dirty, but a little polishing don't hurt!) and tuned up (valve adjustment, carb tuning etc. and she was really running nice, sewing machine smooth, without a single oil leak.

i decided to give the auto rx a try, against my better judgment.

10 miles later, the bike starts puking oil out of everywhere.

now, i realize that my oil seals are probably (no, not probably, they are almost 20 years old, i have the documentation from the engine rebuild completed in 1982) old and dried out. and the head cover gasket is the same age. but i was assured that this product (in emails from the owner) wouldnt do anything to my old seals, ie, make them leak.

i dont blame auto rx, it is my own damn dumb fault. but, unless you are prepared to do a complete engine rebuild, i would caution against using this product on an old motorcycle. if it aint broke, DONT FIX IT. lesson learned, and i wont be trying it in my GS.
 
I added auto-rx to my '81 650G a few weeks ago and am almost to the oil filter change interval. Haven't had any oil leakage, burning, etc. I learned about it on an Audi forum when looking for sludge removal ideas. Worked wonders in the Audi and I've high hopes for the bike.
