Engine Restore??

[60sec_assassin]

Has anyone ever heard of Engine Restore? They say its good for cars with over 100,000miles...they say that it reconditions the seals and fills cylinder walls for better compression. My MM just went over 101,000, has anyone ever used this product in their MM whether it is stock or Scharged...let me know if you have or would you recommend it:confused:

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I am an ASE Master Tech with twenty plus of experience and the only thing that should go in the crankcase is good quality oil.

Well I switched over to Royal Purple the 2nd year I owned the car that was in '05, so I'm okay there. Thanks for the advice...and your right "if it ain't broke don't fix it!" Just being cautious.

We got some for our jeep, when its used ill let yall know how it works

[Starman]

I have used it on a couple of cars and for me it worked. It made the car run better, kicked up the gas mileage a bit and I recommend it. Just my personal experience.

I wouldn't put that stuff anywhere near my Marauder's crankcase. It pours like bubble gum. I wonder how a 32v DOHC V8 with thin oil passagest likes circulating molasses...

If you're been running snythetic most likely there has been virtually no wear on your motor and 100k isn't alot of miles.

I put Restore in my first car, once. I think there may have been a slight change, but it was a carbureted chevy 305, not exaclty a tight-tolerance performance motor....and in the end I learned I never needed it in the first place. It's probably good for old worn out loose tolerance motors of years past, but not for a modern motor that has used synthetic oil most of it's life. This stuff doesn't "repair cylinder walls" like they claim, it's not changing the molecular surface of the metal or adding new metal, it's probably just increasing your oil's viscosity to fill in loose tolerances and worn parts and it's so gummy it probably sticks to stuff for awhile. In a Marauder motor that = yuck!

What ^^^ he said ^^^

X3 with breadfan. Throw it in a pushrod engine thats 30 years old. DO NOT put that in modern DOHC cars. The only thing that goes in my crank case on my MM's is 5w-20 motorcraft and royal purple in the mustang.

This stuff, along with STP Oil Treatment and most of the other so-called "miracle-in-a-can" products, is nothing more than concentrated viscosity index improver. You may as well put 20W-50 in your motor. :shake:

We need a "silver cross" graemlin...
