Auto Rx; culprit in premature alternator failure, bad oil seals, etc.
These folks seem perhaps laughing up their sleeves at me lately; with a plethora of emails about a new formula, when usually they send one every other year or two-if sometimes a little more frequently.*
The following link is to my thread begun September 8th, 2008 on the general subject of Auto Rx, after installation of their treatment.[http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=17178
Done beginning February 10th, 2007 with 138,983 miles to initiate the first of two cycles, with the second rinse of the second cycle completed 142,046 with no legible date-though the first rinse of that final of two cycles was done 140,,536 miles March 14th, 2007.
The data got recorded on the outer cover of the small notebook I keep in the car for recording milage figures each gas purchase that has suffered some moisture enough to make the figures a little hard to read near the bottom of the booklet.
The current emails from Auto Rx, are coming lately; at the same juncture as my having to replace an oil soaked alternator, a chewed up fairly new alternator belt showing signs of heat damage from slippage against resistance, the oil seals on the front end of the crank and cam shafts behind the timing belt, the timing belt, and the idler pulley for the timing belt.
Total expenditure about $750, including labor. Oil has also been apparently leaking out of any other place in the engine where leakage could be; far more so than previous to the Auto Rx treatment, with about 178,000 miles now. I began to notice the leakage symptoms around the same time as I'd finished the Auto Rx treatment; running two cycles of that, since begun with around 135,000 miles they recommend to do twice, if over 100,000 miles on the car.
When purchased at 85,000 miles from the original owner June of '99, a jet helicopter mechanic with the Coast Guard stationed with his family in Eureka, CA; he'd apparently given the engine and engine bay a careful cosmetic cleansing, which looked pristine. Soon enough this became apparent as a sales gimmick; as an amount of oil seepage became visible, not too unusual to expect of a car whose timing belt cover was considerably heat-distorted I noticed changing the timing belt cover at around 100,000 miles.**
These Auto Rx treatments are advertised to remove accumulated crude in the channels of the pistons the rings lay inside of; which no other oil treatment is capable of they say will assure the longevity of the motor like nothing else, greatly! So, perhaps replacement of a few seals, a prematurely worn alternator and the associated risks of the corrupted belts et al; is worth the whole event?
I'm hardly wild about being made an unsuspecting guinea pig, even in something so relatively trivial-easy to imagine as psychological targeting and abuse because of rich and powerful former friends who hate the social safety net; since so much of my life is associated with covert eugenics as someone Romani, and a tedious, involving history of manipulations and abuses via the medical establishment since doctors told my mother her milk would poison her children so we were never nursed.
Anyway, I'd welcome other opinions; particularly since a FordFestiva.com member of renown in oil expertise DarkDan, added a strong endorsement of the product when I'd been posting about trying same, with private messages to me.
These messages from DarkDan follow in chronological order from the earliest to the most recent of the four total. He'd seemed definitely to encourage the procedure; I also recall commenting in the forum about Auto Rx positively. I'm not too swift with the "search" procedure; so perhaps someone who is could help out?
If, and a big "IF" to imagine, if there is something to my theory; then this certainly seems a little over the edge?
Anyway, here goes with the three messages to me. I'm leaving in the totality of each message; for authenticity and to show we were communicating about more than only the Auto Rx. Dark Dan seemed both an intelligent and entertaining correspondent; who'd also advocated strongly about the Stilko toilet paper oil filter I use, in the affirmative:
My rich friend alluded to above, Daniel Hathaway; is someone when met May of '79 about ten years older than myself; whose mother Erica Hathaway had recently divorced his step-father in a settlement worth $20,000,000 including ten acres and a home with swimming pool in Ojai, CA they later got $10,000,000 for. His mother is mentioned in Indra Devi's most famous yoga book Forever Healthy Forever Young, for typing the manuscript. I met Dan the day I'd heard his truck with a hole in the muffler approaching from behind me so that I threw my left thumb in the air pedaling a ten-speed from Dallas to near Bonners Ferry via San Diego. Known for practice of "the Golden Rule" as they say; "the one with the gold does the ruling."
