Did anyone tried Auto-rx?

Can any one share their Auto-rx experience?
Was it worth it, is it is good idea?

Yes, a great idea....never heard anything negative about it.
Go for it and report your findings back here.

You can read about Auto-Rx treatment experiences at the www.bobistheoilguy.com site.

For me, Auto-Rx made a big difference for my engine efficiency in that I was previously getting bit over 300 miles on a tank of gas. After running one Auto-Rx treatment, I'm now consistently getting over 400 miles.

I'm also hoping that it can help with rear main seal that's starting to leak.

Never hear of the stuff, but am very interested in other's experiences as I may want to try this myself...

I used the stuff when I first got my car at 105,000 miles. It seemed to make the cam lobes a lot shinier and also helped a bit w/ overall smooth operation of the engine I'd say. When I took my valve cover off to install my GLT cams, it was extremely clean in every little crevice under there. Probably due at least in part to the Auto-RX along w/ running only full synthetic engine oils.

Ok I got two bottles and put one of them after oil change yesterday. I must say its quite pricy 50$ for 2 bottles.

Before Auto-rx I had put a bottle on CD2 oil detergent, In fact the guy who changed the oil came out to show me filter he was horrified told me that it

DON'T EVER USE FRAM....worst oil filter for your Volvo. Buy a case of Mann filters from www.fcpgroton.com and use these or take them to the guy who does the change for you. Have heard nothing but BAD from other Volvo owners about FRAM.

about 100 miles since added Auto-RX, haven't really noticed any difference so far.
Couple of times in morning car had no accleration, but I had this syndrom earlier also and it was cured by just driving. Gas milage is still pretty much same 22mpg but since last week i am driving on a broken flame trap cup that may be causing poor milage/pickup and offsetting any Auto-rx gains.
