My feeling is, one bottle will be enough if you run it for an extended cleaning cycle. To me that means a minimum of 2,000 miles, but longer is better. If you're going to use fresh oil, then use a Group III syn (preferrably Shell's Rotella syn 5W-40, since it's Grp3 & offers the bonus of an engine-cleaning additive package). A 4 qt system will need 10 oz of A-Rx, leaving you with 2 oz left over. If you decide to run it for longer than 2,000 miles, be sure to change the filter every 1,500-2,000 miles. Pre-mix the last two ounces of A-Rx into a fresh qt of oil & use that as top-up when you change the filters.
Of course, I thought I'd only need two bottles for the engines of two cars. Then we got a third car, & I decided to also use it in the trannies of two of the cars. With all the engines, trannies, filter changes (I'm running two of the cars for 5k-6k mile cleaning applications), & oil consumption top-ups, I've used four bottles so far. It's a sickness ...
