[Shotimes] Oil pressure light on

[Paul Nimz]

Yes just yesterday finished the process with the second bottle.  I will go
another 2000 and put in the third bottle.  oil consumption and smoking upon
acceleration is way down.  The top end is a lot quieter now too.  I
attribute this to the passages being cleaned and more oil is circulation.
Great stuff for high mileage engines.

Before you use it the first time be sure to put a new filter on.

Auto-RX is a miracle in a bottle.  And I usually don't subscribe to the oil
additive theme.  Although this is a cleaner and not necessarily considered a
prolonged use additive.  It only stays in the motor 500 miles or so.
