I bought my 93 MTX in 95 with 12k. I started using Mobil 1 at 15k. The car
now has 112k. At 75k I replaced my clutch, seal and carrier. At 100k I would get
a drip or 2 under the rear seal, I also started burning more oil [about a
quart every 1000 mi]. After much research I decided to try Auto-RX and change to
Valvoline Max-Life [ I don't drive the SHO in winter, if I did I think I'd go
back to Mobil 1 during cold conditions]. I cut the filter open after the
perscribed Auto-RX treatment and it was clean. I've been running the Valvoline and
2 oz Auto-RX for the last 10k [oil changes every 2-3k]. The leak has stopped
completely and I burn about a half quart between changes. The oil stays very
clean between changes which I'd attribute to the Auto-RX cleaning the engine.
The leak and consumption issues are probably a result of both products. Bob 93
