[Shotimes] Quick informal survey of Mobil 1 users

[Paul Nimz]

My experience with the Auto-RX on my weary '93 was good.  But I quit using
it.  It originally cut my oil usage from 600 miles to a quart to 1300 miles
to the quart.  But you have to use it in the maintenance doses to keep the
oil usage down.  Without it I am back to one quart every 800 miles
currently.  Almost all through the valve guides.

I would advise to use it and then go to a high mileage oil or to keep using
the Auto-RX it it's maintenance dosage as the manufacturer recommends.
