Guys, this is Marylandrauder's son, Brent, you may have seen me at the Safford Lincoln Mercury Car Show that goes on every year in June, I need some advice.
I was a moderator for 2 years on a forum for a product called auto-rx that claims it cleans out:
1) Engines
2) Transmissions
3) Differentials
4) Powersteering
I left the auto-rx board when I found out the product was originally designed to clean printing presses that runs on hydraulic fluid, and these printing presses are a closed system, meaning no introduction of air, just like a transmission, differential, or powersteering, so the contaniments are soft.
In an engine the deposits are harder, and many people are claiming that all this product has done is maybe clean there ring packs, it has not cleaned there valvetrain because arx does not work under splash lubrication. I also found out this product was never tested on an automobile engine, this stuff is not cheap, it goes for $26.00 a bottle.
They tried to sell the product to Auto-Zone, and they were going to give auto-rx $20.00 for every bottle that was sold and charge consumers $50.00 a bottle, many people who tried auto-rx are now using Marvel Mystery Oil that goes for $3.50 a quart and they are getting better results.
This is as big a scam as Z- Max and maybe Slick50, I want to report them to the FTC, I was an insider and I was given a lot of free product, do I call the FTC, I was thinking of mailing in a short letter, but I am afraid it will get lost in some bureaucratic mess. I do not want to see this product show up in some auto parts store.
There is a You-Tube video on this product and the pictures of the valvetrain are fake, do I post underneath in the comment section and say hey FTC check these guys out.
Any advice would be appreciated.
