Re: engine restore does it work???? It worked on my old ford pickup, but I had to use it like every oil change. I dont know if I would use it on anything I value. Ask Patman.

Re: engine restore does it work???? Do you think that pouring this stuff in your oil is going to replace worn away metal? Cause that in essence is what it says it will do. Can't happen

Re: engine restore does it work???? Stay away from Restore, it does not work. If you want a product that does work, go with Auto-rx. It's a cleaning product which uses natural esters, that slowly cleans an engine so that if it's super dirty this product will not dislodge big chunks of debris all at once, which could clog things up. Auto-rx liquifies the sludge slowly and carries it off to the oil filter.
I know you're thinking it sounds like snake oil too, but trust me, it's not. I've used this product on my car and have gotten amazing results. I did before and after oil analysis results, and could see considerably lower engine wear, and much lower oxidation and nitration on the after results. Plus I was consuming one quart every 5-6k and this product slowed consumption down to about one quart every 8k.
By super cleaning the engine, it restores the compression in the engine and allows the oil to properly do it's job without having to fight against the dirt inside there.
Most of you probably don't have dirty enough engines to really need this product, but if you've got an old beater car with 100k on it or more, it's a good candidate. Or if you've bought your f-body used and the previous owner neglected the oil changes and/or used an inferior oil, like the previous owner of my car did, then this product is worth the $25.
Also keep in mind, no product can fix a badly worn engine, but in some cases an engine which may seem to be on it's last legs, is simply so dirty inside that it needs to be cleaned out. (if it's super super dirty, two treatments with this product are needed)

Re: engine restore does it work???? Years ago my buddy bought a 79 TA with an olds 403 (6.6) The car was a dog, it could not get out of its own way...
He used Restore, and it was like night and day! The car came alive!
Maybe it is good for old, dirty, million mile engines!

What do you think of GM engine cleaner Patman?

Re: engine restore does it work????
If you were using that would you increase oil changes?
