i just used this a few days ago for my 1966 Cadillac Coupe Deville 429 BIg block ,no longer smokes and is idling much better. i did not do compression tests but i can tell just by ear that my cadi is running better. i dont have 5,000 to rebuild my motor at the moment but this will give me time to save $$$ to have the rebuild done in the future .Highly recommend it for older engines.

thank you so much for making this video I was skeptical at first too but after watching some videos like yours I went ahead and gave it a try I have a 2002 Chevy Silverado 4.8. I was getting a little lifter noise also pistons lap no smoking or loss of oil did oil change and put this stuff in five minutes later it was quiet no more noise thanks so much for your video!!!!

This lubricant is awesome, I used this for over 9 years now and had no such problem. My car run smooth and clean .

Thanks for your integrity and honest remarks about RESTORE, I appreciate you sharing your experience and approach with engine oil weight, potential ring blow-by / smoking, etc. I definitely agree in believing that it DOES work. As you said, it is well worth the try. Thumbs up.

I agree with you about people destroying their cars beyond belief. its really sad how many people that dont do routine maintenance on their vehicle and when something major goes wrong, they go and buy another car!? The laziness and stupidity is disturbingly high. I'm so glad I learned to work on cars. It saved me and everyone I know money. This product is awesome by the way! Highly recommend to anyone if they have at least 30psi compression on compression tests.

It worked on my previa 320k engine, all blow by symptoms are gone after 50 miles of driving. This and Prestone head gasket repairs are best product I have tried in my 30 years of driving.

Ive used this stuff with syn oil n it works great! I had no smoke, no oil loss, i use it to keep up compression! When i started using this stuff, 12years back my car had 20000.0 u can feel ur engine has more power! No joke! I had no smoke no oil burning, just a good old car, n started ever oil change using one can of the 8 cyl size wit syn oil, belive it or not with n a few hundred miles u can feel the diff n the power of ur engine! I swear by the stuff n my old car has got 25000.0 miles on her

I think a lot of "naysayers" don't actually follow the directions. That being said, obviously some additives ARE still pretty useless. It's good to see vids like this where someone has not only reviewed a product, but used it properly and actually knows what they're talking about. I have used this product myself on some beat up old Hondas and I DID notice the difference immediately. The improvement didn't last "forever" but certainly lasted past the next oil change. Thanks for posting!

98 Lincoln town car 4.6 2v using 5w-20 full synthetic Valvoline oil over 100,000 miles added little bit of synthetic oil to the pan then added the restore then level the oil off. Honestly great product had no issues since. More power as expected

"Slowly it got worst, fast!" 😂great video I'm glad to see this product works so well.

+Dirt Riderz I think he said that was from using DuraLube. Everyone will have different results, some good some bad and some no difference. There are likely to be people with three different cars getting all three and they have no idea what to think of a product.

I've used this in a 4.9 Ford and a 5.0 Ford both were well maintained and did not smoke or need oil added between oil changes even there was some loss of it both were over 300k. This stuff made both of them run a ton better, just over all made them both feel like a fresher newer engine, I forget the compression numbers as this was some years ago. However just yesterday I used it in my lawn tractor with a big Briggs vtwin. On cold starts it would give out a puff of blue smoke and after mowing a few acres it would need a dob of oil added, also had some vibration at full throttle. This product made my 25 year old Briggs become brand new over the course of a tank of fuel. Amazing product.

Thank you for posting this video, very informative. I have a 1996 Ford explorer that' been in the family for quite sometime 208,000 miles and has recently started Idling rough/shakes. There is low compression in the six cylinder (around 100). I'm gonna give this product a try tomorrow, swing by The auto parts store, Shake it up real good and pour it into the engine. I will re-post after I drive the 500 mile mark and let you know how it goes. I really hope this can due the trick 👍😎🚗

I put this in my 1995 Camry. 209,000 , I must say , i feel my car idles better, accelerates faster and smoother then it did prior to using this stuff. I just touch the gas pedal now and it feels like it wants to move unlike before. I have only driven the car a few days and noticed a noticable difference.

My 88 4runner has 241,000 miles, never burns oil. I use this stuff every single oil change. It really does work. This really is a miracle in a can.

I believe they are playing it safe, on an engine with no problems, no compression loss, no rough idle or smoking, they don't want you to do anything radical causing any other problems. If the cylinders have huge loss of compression it's going to take a thicker product to keep from blowing it all out the exhaust. I used the thinner oil with Restore Engine Treatment with very little luck. Used it with thicker oil and was good to go in 200 miles. Good Luck.

yes.it has worked. i tried on fiat uno 1998 petrol model. wanted to confirm on internet what has happened. i used cyclo stop smoke, oil treatment. i live in gujarat. the above is excellent video i find to authentic the process and improve engine life for few years. i am also going to replace it with new filter.thanks.

Spot on video; you pretty well cover the spectrum on how this stuff works; thanks !!

Thanks for the insight my Brother. I bought Lucas additive, but I didn't put in my Tracker because I researched it after I listened to a friend who told me to buy it. I will try Restore and I will make sure to follow all of your careful steps. I will make sure to check the bottom of the can too. -James

Used this stuff at my last oil change on my 96 Ford Explorer 4.0L engine and the engine runs better than ever. purrs like a cat idling roars like a monster while increasing speed.

I just dumped a can of Restore in my daughters 1998 Mirage which was smoking and running poorly. We have run the car about 75 miles today and it is running smoother. I'll let you know how it goes after 500 more miles. Great video. Thanks.

just bought a 77 Pontiac LeMans had a smoking problem added this stuff so far so good Uncle Buck is running better

Been using it for over 20 yrs no problem great stuff 👍

this stuff works very well! i had a 1969 gmc truck with a chevy 350 and it ran way smother after the stuff kicked in. ....This is one of the few things out their that work! ok well thanx for the vid man!

This stuff works. I had a head gasket issue and used this stuff and it restored compression. Don't ask how - but i don't lose water and compression was restored. All i added was 6cyl can.... i'll buy another one in a heartbeat.

I recently put this in a 2016 Kia Forte with 67,000 miles. It was burning about a quart every 300 miles and would billow smoke from the filler hole, when the engine was shut down hot. I did an engine flush with Liqui Moly, then changed to 5W 30 high mileage synthetic and a can of Restore. After about 350 miles, the change has been noticeable. I had to add less than a pint of oil. The next 350 miles, there was almost no oil loss.

It worked for me on more than one older high mileage vehicle. From lifer tick, to piston slap, to low compression. Keep in mind, the engine can't be too far gone.

I can't stress enough to people, if you don't get all the product out of the can it's not going to work. The best way to deal with this stuff is to pour it in a plastic bottle, then scoop the bottom of the can, and shake your new container until it's mixed well. I had friends forget this and I went to the trash grabbed there empty can of restore they used and showed them how much was still in the can. 1 inch of product at the bottom, they just poured the juice out. Thanks for watching

Good point PCwizard, It's always good to warm up a car before driving, allows oil to the top end of the motor. I see so often people start the car put it in gear and go, also more often with the younger drivers the constant free rev of the motor at 3000+ Rpm to hear the exhaust.

Hey robbie, Glad to hear that the restore worked on something. As far as the lawn mower goes, it's just a play toy for ya, so try 70w racing oil with Restore. You have nothing to lose at this point.....Thanks for the info.

I put this stuff in my 04 trailblazer. Haven't had any problems yet. Good stuff.

This is crazy!! It actually works no bullshit!! I put this in my car it has 200,000 miles on it with a 3100 V6 and it like new. I remember before i put it in, it sometimes wouldnt accelerate like it should when i was on the highway doing about 50mph trying to get up to 70mph it would accelerate very slow. i put this in and put 200 miles or so it doesnt have that problem anymore. good stuff!

Yes, I've used the 2 Lucas&Restore together... Working great, and no ill affects... 2,000 miles, and no problems.

Wish I had a dime for every person that experienced the same thing when using Restore Engine Treatment. I'd be rich! You'll really feel the difference in 500 miles. It's not a fix all, but if your car isn't too far gone it will give you thousands of miles more than you would have by doing nothing. Good luck! Keep us posted in a few months.

Yes i have a little civic with 160,000 on it does not smoke but makes a little noise so i put this in and the noise went away so it works for me.

Completely agree with you. I have a BMW 2007 with 175k miles and cylinder 6 has lost pressure to about 90 PSI. Mechanic said to rebuild my engine or replace it. I’m gonna try this. Also I’ve heard about X66P Upper Engine Cleaner and have seen good videos on it. Good luck to all.

results?

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense because he currently uses the green blend coolant. We will keep checking and do a compression test to make sure all is well in the cylinders.

Good deal! that's two cars now used with synthetic oil with great luck...Thanks for info.

I have used it for alot of years and it really does work.

I Been using this stuff since 2000 in very car I owned its been good to me I notice more power better mpgs and when I change my oil it goes from darker to lighter colors I'm using this on my 03 Audi a6

Glad to hear. I love this stuff, but for some people they have no luck. I think it's due to repairs that are far behond the can. Thanks for posting.

my 91 4.3 started smoking a few weeks after i was beating on it a little bit. figured i'd try this stuff and am hoping it will help out in the next few miles, i only have a few miles on it so far.

Very well spoken my friend !

Good luck, hope you get some results, keep us posted!

Great! Let us know how it goes. If it continues to smoke try some high mileage engine oil with the restore to soften the valve seals just in case that is causing it...Good luck.

@faffaflunkie I agree with you to a point, but most people that may have a rare car, or one they can't afford to rebuild, this is the way to go... so many people I knew that used this stuff were ready to junk their cars when they saw the repair bills, from $500.00 to glue together or a total rebuild of $3,000 - $8,000 for new engine or rebuild. They added Restore Engine Treatment and still running after 3 years with no smoke. The trick is to add it every oil change.

I did try this with my Honda Passport 139000 miles on it and my Honda Civic ex with 213000 miles and wow they are both runs smooth and kicked some power before i go to smog my cars. both of them pass the smog.

I was just thinking, also check for vacuum leaks and your pcv valve, make sure the engine isn't sucking in oil at the intake. I use an oil catch can, keeps all that oil out of the intake. A friend of mine had trouble with the pcv system on a chevy, it sucked tons of oil into the intake on a LS1 & LS2 motor. Just a thought.

Keep me posted, I just ran it on another car with 10w 40 GTX castrol. It stopped the car from smoking at 250 miles and noticed smoother idle at 467 miles. Good luck.

This stuff actually works; takes a little time and a few miles; but when it kicks in you will be amazed; it really works !!

Of all the fords I've had, none of them ever burned oil, hard to imagine you having such a time with a ford engine. I bought this chevrolet out of desperation cuz there were no ford trucks for sale in my price range, it does serve the purpose and it multi tasks by killing mosquitos. I have used lucas in it to no avail, and now that i've put the restore in it, the smoke has gotten worse. The oil pressure is higher by just under 10 psi, it's always had good oil pressure, maybe the rings take longr

Unbelieveable, I tried this and it is like magic. A mechanic who told me my engine is weak can't understand either

thank you for your kind response

I had a mini truck one of the small ones for hunting with a very small 4 cylinder and put new valve stem seals in it and it still smoked I tried all the no smoke and no help I then tried restore and let it run for serval hours in my yard did it a few days and it finally quit smoking .

A good and positive video, it help me a lot, thanks! I will try this next time. Regards!

Thanks, but yes I've already checked for vacuum leaks and there isn't any. When I first purchased the truck the inlet port for the pcv was plugged up at the throttle body, I removed the throttle body and cleaned it out, breathes like a champ now. Where else would it be sucking oil from and where does the catch can come in to play? The oil returns were plugged in the top of the heads, I cleaned those out thinking that ought to do it but nope. Gotta be the rings

Great to hear. Restore Engine Treatment does work well, but people need to understand that if a car is destroyed and has been abused it's whole life, Restore will not make you a NEW engine, so sometimes it doesn't work. Don't blame the product, blame the amount of damage.

I have sold engine restore at a NAPA auto part store for many years and restore is one of the few products that is NOT snake oil.We have many regular users including my fellow employees.

I have used this woth good results in my dad's 87 gmc sierra and was wondering how much should I use if using in a yamaha kodiak atv?

Wow, that sounds too good to be true!! Hopefully it will work that well for me. I wonder what would happen if someone would add two cans at a time.

my spark plugs keeps fouling , some mechanic adv its piston ring or scratched cylinder wall, but my car doesn't smoke, im wondering if this would help

Put a can of this in my smallblock chevy with synthetic oil change, i felt a difference in HP instantly.

Wow! I could see how it may work, build up may have filled a leak like bars leak but from the gas side of the engine instead of the coolant side.

I have a couple old cars that do not run much in a year. They have very low miles on them however from sitting so long they like to smake a little during a first few minites of start up. Also after a while of low idle. Would Engine restore solve this or does the engine have to have high miles?

will that help if the compression is from the valves and not the rings? Doesn't that only help if its bad rings because it fills in the cylinder walls

I'm thinking of doing this also, my car doesn't have any problems but I like to use it to see if I can get some of the power that the car once had when I was new. I have 152,000 miles on it. Nothing really wrong with the engine but it seems that I has lost some responsive. I just changed my oil not to long ago I used synthetic oil. What do you recommend doing?

You mentioned that it doesn’t work with synthetic oil. I’ve been using synthetic blend in my 06 Ram 1500, it’s not smoking, but doesn’t seem to have that get-up-n-go like it used to. Should I use conventional oil and Restore?

Ok, I'm a case study. 95 celica started smoking bad last fall. Had leak down test done that said rings bad on #4 cylinder. Put in fresh 10x40 with a can of restore today. Shook it up good, poured fresh oil into restore can and mixed it up good to get it all in. Keep you updated. 5/23/13

Would this stuff be good to use on a 94 cavalier Z24?It has a 3.1 liter mult port fuel injected V6 6 cylinder

How would you use this on a motorbike? My motorbike uses only about 1 quart of 20w-50 synthetic oil. I assume stir it up completely, and only use 1/5 the volume, as a typical car uses 5quarts of oil as opposed to 1 for a motorbike. Also one grade heavier oil from 20w-50 would be like 10w-40?

I used it on my Nissa Murrano And it smoothed the idle out big time.

would this work with 2.2, 04 cavalier 5w30 oil

updates? thoughts on Liqui Moly products? use transmission fluid in the engine oil?

@GMurphSC06GT Could be anything from worn rings, valve springs, head gasket....Blue smoke is oil... White smoke is water (steam). Black smoke is fuel... to rich mixture.

I have a 96 Montero. its had a slight problem with smoking, mostly when its idle for more than a few minutes. I usually use stop smoke and it gets a little better for a short time. so i decided to use the Engine restore and straight 40 weight (guy at auto zone recommended theses products) but now its smoking more (quite a bit more). Is this normal for this to happen when you first use this product? please tell me its gonna get better, or what should I do? Any advise is appreciated.

The scratches that are being talked about are the honing scratches, there gone after the cylinder and ring pass those horizontal scratches 8 billion times a second, creating a smooth broke in cylinder wall... It's for break in (the honing scratches). After the car is past break in and mileage adds on, we get contaminant scratches that are vertical in the cylinder wall. Those scratches won't hold oil, they create micro rivers of oil that will pass the rings with oil & gas, creating blow by.

They use fine lead powder in it as the lead fills the gaps and melts into the voids under high combustion.

how about using in a 350 that only has 7k miles on it? Just to aid in getting good seal on rings??

Yes, I like to add it first so I can pour the oil behind the treatment to get it to the oil pan and not sit up by the rocker arms so it can do it's job.

can i use this with locas heavy duty oil stabilizer? or one of these at a time

I have a 2004 Saturn ion, with 230,000 miles on it, and It just started to smoke. I doing an oil Change on it and I'm going to use 5w-30 and a can of engine restorer. Is this weight of oil good to use with the engine restorer product, and if its the valve seals do you think it would soften them up?

Could be coil getting weak had same problem changed coil and it went away with 177,000 miles on it quit smoking and added this to it now running great thevmore I run it the better its running

Great to hear! Many mechanics recommend Restore Engine Treatment to their friends and family. I can't say it enough, if your car is not too far gone, Restore Engine Treatment can help bring your car back to life.

@kuningmuda ...YES..I believe it is blueish... If you see some stuff left at the bottom of the can after pouring it out, just put some of your engine oil in the can and stir with a screw driver or mixing stick and pour in the engine.

i got a 95 tahoe it has 200,000 miles and it smokes really bad it has a rough idle when it gets warm and the oil pressure drops to 20 when warm does the engine restore bring the oil pressure back up

does this work with semi synthetic oil? Have been told about this and will be adding to my engine during next service next week cheers

I have a 1994 Nissan 240sx (2 liter 4 cyl) with 220,000 miles. It's starting to blow blue smoke after the car sits at idle for any time longer than a minute. I've been changing the oil with Mobil for the past 10 years (not Mobil 1). I'll add this additive to the next oil change and report back with my findings. I've always used Lucas with my Harleys but I'm really interested in seeing what this product will do.

@cobrachoppergirl ...the mixture sounds about right. Stay with your 20w-50..it's thicker oil than 10w-40. The higher the numbers the thicker the oil. Good luck.

A tip for everyone out their using OR not using restore. Let your vehicle engine warm up before you start driving a little even for a minute or two during the winter and summer. This will help you avoid adding more scratches in the cylinder walls and give you better engine performance when you drive. During the summer I let the vehicross warm up for a minute and during the winter I let the vehicross warm up for a minimum of 5 minutes. The main reasion I do this is expansion and contraction

@XX65XX you added the restore 1st before pouring the oil in right?

Yes...Restore Engine Treatment works on all cars over 50,000 miles. They have a can for 4,6,& 8 cylinder engines. If your not sure if you have a 4 or 8 cylinder engine ask the store like Auto zone or Pep Boy's.

My 94 5.0 has close to 160k miles and its still running strong but its old anyways, should i use this product ? And if i do how do i add it, do i add the 5 quarts my motor requiers or do i need to mix restore within the 5 quarts ?

Remember, blue smoke can be caused by a lot of things, bad rings, clogged PCV, worn rubber valve seals in the head of the engine. Restore Engine Treatment handles scratches in the cylinder sleeve and seals them. Rings that are shot? are shot. Nothing in a can can fix worn out parts. High Mileage Engine oils are great for Valve seals and seals on the engine, they soften them back up and allow them to seal once again.

If your refering to oil on the sparking end of the spark plug in the motor head...yes! Restore will stop the oil from getting on to that spark plug and seal the metal rings on your piston. If your talking about oil dripping from the spark plug area and there is a puddle I would suspect your valve cover is leaking onto the spark plug valley. If that's not the case, you may have a loose spark plug. But yes... this will stop your car from fouling plugs. Need to drive around 250-500 miles to work.

I've actually run Restore with Valvoline full synthetic oil in my saturn L200 with a new engine (when I got the new engine the compression sucked, I couldn't accelerate worth a damn and a compression test showed it was less than 80% of what it should be on most cylinders). I found out about restore and put it in with the valvoline and shes running so much better I've actually spun the tires in dry weather on a level road (not intentially but I don't regret it).

That's great.. Like I've said before, if the car is not too far gone Restore Engine Treatment will get you more years out of a worn engine. Should run better too with the compression back up, smoother idle.

can i use this in my scooter as well??

should i ues this stuff after or before an oil change?

Thanks guy, I'm going to give this a try. I have a Mazda MX-3 that's been sitting for a while. The car was burning oil a lot but I did not even know this. Eventually when I checked the oil a few weeks after an oil change I saw it was bone dry. Due to someones recommendation I put some 20-50 oil in there (dumb idea, didn't drain any left over oil first, just dumped it in), this is when the car started smoking and has been sitting ever since. The recommended oil is 5w - 30. Any thoughts?

Do you have to drive it 500 miles all in one trip? Or over a week of starting and stopping? How far did you drive it immediately after adding the additive?

You could've had a carboned ring pack. Before doing Restore treatment, I'm researching some technique/solvent to soak the ring pack after doing a preliminary compression and leak down test. Maybe I'll use diesel fuel to either cold soak or hot soak the ring pack by pouring hot diesel fuel in the plug hole, putting the compression tester back on and rotate the motor by hand to build compression to force the cleaner into the ring pack or use shop air. Also, there is GM Piston and Ring Cleaner.

I've got a 89 300zx with 128k on it. Doesn't smoke at all so could I use this to gain some hp back or could I do more harm then good?
