Since I am finishing my second rinse cycle with Auto-RX, I thought I'd give a quick report for anyone interested before I convert to synthetic motor oil.

1995 855 NA with about 185K.

Prior to the treatment my engine had no leaks. It still has no leaks. Feels like it pulls a little stronger. Oil consumption is down a little. This engine is just like my 240's engine, use basically no oil around town and consumes a little on highway trips. Must be characteristic of Volvo engines, eh...:) Still puffs a little at idle so I guess I'll be doing the PVC overhaul job sometime in the future.

I used Auto-RX to clean the seals and avoid future leaking seals (particularly the RMS). So far so good. But time will be the real test!
