      to me oil additive = bad thing
      and oil companies say to not add oil additives

          yeah, oil additives scare me a little, but there is some lucas additive that i am tempted to try, there should be a little gear display of it at your local napa

              BOB is the oil guy told me not to use lucas because it oxidizes your oil.
              Oxidizing = heat especially for gears
              I dont trust fuel cleaners either
              I dont trust some octane boosters (some dont raise your octane level)

                Restore is alright, Lucas is not...at all.

                  Re: Engine Restore

                  just seen a commercial for the engine restore stuff last night. I personally don't have any experience with it, but I am skeptical. Anyone have a crappy winter beater or something to try it on and let us know? lol.

                    oils passed by the American Petroleum Institute and SAE(i forgot that one) already have detergents to help clean your engine and addatives in em. u should be alright as long as you keep up with schedualed maintainence. i dont think you need to add ne thing but it woudn't hurt.

                    i have never used Engine Restore so i duno if its ne good either

                      Engine Restore doesnt clean your engine at all
                      quite the opposite actually, it fills in little scratches between the cylinder walls and piston rings

                        Re: Engine Restore

                        unlike most people here, ive had first hand experience with restore, i had a 91 dodge shadow that i got for fifty bucks that i beat the SH** out of, (jumping and such), and i got a real bad valve tap (at least thats what it sounded like), and i wanted to sell it, but the valve tap was horrible, i put restore in it, and the valve tap got much much quieter, almost barely noticeable, sounded like just ur average valve tap, (if youve ever driven a shadow, you know they practically came from the factory with a valve tap), and i ended up selling it for 400 bucks...so, i think restore was well worth what i paid for it. just my two cents. later.

                              No one has reported any problems after using Engine Restorer, as I've searched, only results, or nothing at all. I just put some in today after I changed my oil. I won't make a regular thing out of it unless I'm convinced that it did anything spectacular, which I am not.
