Oil/Additive Questions

OK, so after reading the FAQ's and visiting several other forums such as bobistheoilguy and autorx, I wanted to get some input from Maxima owners who may have used these products in their vehicles to see if they were worth the expense.

1. Fuel Power/Lube Control
-- Has anyone used either of these products and if so, have you seen the same improvements that I have read from many of the posters on other sites? How is this product when compared to Lucas or Berryman B-12?

2. Auto-RX
-- Another product that has gotten great reviews on other forums. I know that several .org'ers have used this product and was wondering what your thoughts were on its benefits. Also, for the rinsing phase, which Dino oil to you recommend?

3. I just purchased my 2001 AE about 1000 miles ago and am wanting to put Mobil 1 or some other highly rated synthetic in, without knowing what is currently in there or what has been used in the past. Should I first do a change with a blend such as Drive Clean or can I go straight to the synthetic (this after the AutoRX process, of course).

After coming from a '98 Tahoe 4x4 and using MaxLife for the last 2 years, I am really seeking some good input on what I should do with my Max. Thanks for the help.

Not sure about 1-2, but for 3, just jump right into the syn. Mobile recos this itself, even though some people think it's better to ease the stuff in, but frankly I think that they're just wasting time.

yeah from what i hear about that auto-rx stuff is that it basically cleans the engine, if you buy a used car and are not sure the history of it, then auto-x would be smart choice.
I broke my maxima in the right way and am currently using amsoil so i don't see any benifit by using it am i wrong?
