This stuff do anything or is it just another company trying to make a buck off the non-mechanically inclined?? Just saw a couple ads for it in my Sports Illustrated and it got me thinking.

 

Sounds to good to be true....because it is! No engine needs additives when using a quality motor oil. Some additives cause excessive foaming when added to motor oil...LUCAS...actually causing loss of lubrication.

Stick with plain old motor oil

 

George, if that could be proven, wouldn't that provide enough info for a lawsuit?

And, what motor oil IS NOT "quality" oil?

Just asking.

 

well... finally I found a thread about this product , but it does not have much information.

Does anyone has used it? does it work? o not?

I'm about to change the oil and I was thinking using it...

 

Waste of money. There is no miracle in a can.

 

yeap... it looks like, thanks FORDFAN2007!

BTW I found the others threads

 

at best its only a temporary fix and none of these products live up to what they claim (snake oil)

 

It does the same thing as STP - it's a viscosity index improver. It thickens the oil so it won't burn as much in a worn engine. Can actually be harmful to a healthy engine.

 

Sure...

 

I have ran the Engine Restorer in my dad's truck my old ranger and now i'm running it in my current truck! I have used the product on every oil change without any negative results yet! I haven't noticed and positive results either so it could just be a waste of money but like I said my dad and I both run it in our trucks without any noticeable harm done to the engines!

 

Restore uses copper and lead as a burnishing agent to fill excessive gaps in parts. It wears as fast as it is deposited as these metals are soft. It alos is a wear agent causing even more wear in an engine. If you have a beater that's just about to fall down, it can be useful. For any other engine, it is a hazard to it's health.

 

I agree. My dad put a can of that in his '84 lesabre when it was on it's last leg. My cousin told him he might as well pull the motor now before it leaves him stranded somewhere. Sure enough, a few weeks later the engine was dead. I believe when it fills in the gaps it leaves a rough residue and that puts a lot of strain on already worn bearings. You''l never catch me buying a can of that junk, and certainly not putting it in a healthy motor during every oil change...that's just silly.
