Robert - The website for auto-rx indicates that the application is for <<<<Auto-RxR Automotive Application Instructions For
Light-Duty Diesel Engines under 100,000 miles 1. NOTE: This application applies only to the following engines only: Ford PSD (Power Stroke) Chevrolet/GM Duramax and Dodge with Cummins engines>>>>> Are you saying that it works well for something like my 1981 300SD with 291k miles? Not really having any problems with it, but you never know.

I've had amazing luck with running a couple of treatments of Auto RX through old diesels. It does wonders for cleaning up sticky rings and bringing compression back up. I've even brought a couple of diesels back to life from the boneyard with it ( doesn't always get all of them though, it did bring compression up on my old diesel truck from the mid 100's to 200's , up to 405-420 psi all the way around, but one oil ring on #4 wouldn't unstick for anything on that one and I had to pull the thing ) check out www.auto-rx.com , not snake oil, it really works. Worst thing that can happen is you get a clean engine. -----Robert Robert Rentfro wrote: > It seems my oil consumption has crept up over the last several months. > Now, at 176K miles, it seem to be going through one quart each 600 miles or so. > It had been one per 1200 miles for the longest time.
