thanx

I've been using the stuff for years in all kinds of different vehicles with as much as 250,000 miles on them in all kinds of weather from double digit sub-zero temps to low 100's with humidity in the 90's and everything in between. I have never experienced anyhting like that nor have I heard of anything remotely close to what you are describing from anyone else using RESTORE. I have a can in my '96 Grand Am right now and I have over 3,000 on the oil. It had not been started since New Years Eve day. It was 3 degrees here yesterday evening and I went out and hit the key on it and it fired right off like it was the middle of July. I have a hard time believing your issue was caused by the RESTORE.

So why go to the doctor for stitches and pay through the nose when you can slap a little Neosporin and a band-aid on it?

I'd be interested in reading those, can you post the links?
Thanks.

I would like to retract all i have said on here about restore as i received an email from dave at restore today via ebay giving me 48hrs or he will call his legal team.

That's what I do..

Oh !!! I trade in a 92 Chevy truck with no problems at all.. with 260,000 miles on it..
I now have a Chevy truck with 163,000 miles on it, with no problems..
And My wife's Yukon has 175,000 miles on it no problems..

And Guess what ??? They only have oil in them.... Just change the oil when you should.. and they will last..

Duct tape and the cleanest piece of rag I can find. I'm not joking either. Duct tape holds up MUCH better. If it needs to be pretty I just use athletic tape and cotton.

BTW some people may not know this, but the first band-aids were given as a gift from the founder of Johnson and Johnson to his wife on their wedding day. Apparently she cut herself a lot in the kitchen. This is back when women knew where they belong.


and Marvel Mystery oil is some amazing stuff, I buy the large bottle of that everytime I'm in the parts store, I'd get the gallon size but they don't carry it.

That is quite true........ as long as the guy before you changed oil when he should. I'm not always that lucky on my work beaters and in those cases RESTORE works.

ap72, I get MMO in gallon jugs at Wal-Mart. I don't use it "IN" my cars though, only as penetrating oil and external lubricant. I have my suspicions though that it's basically ATF cut with Kerosene.

Super Glue works good on cuts, stings like heck for a split second but no worse than Mercurochrome or Iodine when I was a kid. Learned that one from a fishing show, which is odd that I was watching it because I don't fish.

I hear you Hippie.. I really have nothing against it.. And have heard people say good things about it. And would agree that in todays oils it may help.. Like I said..I have nothing against it.. I just have never had to use it.. If You find it work's.. great..And sometimes what I say is only a opinion... Like I said.. I have never used it.. Maybe I should give it a try.. I might get 300,000 miles out of my old trucks..

I'v heard MMO is pure naptha.. I'v used it in gas b4, and my '65 Rambler needed it dumped in the carb to keep the valves seated.. if I don't run it in my snowblower w/ the gas it constantly backfires

Don't know about being made with Naptha but it's the creepinest stuff I ever saw. I keep some in a metal pump type oil can to use for drilling and cutting oil and I have to keep the can in a pan or tray because the stuff is always seeping out the cap and soaking whatever is under it.

I hope the women on this forum are in the kitchen now. If they read this they may come over to your house and give you a reason to use some bandaids...

Came upon this thread just before starting a trip where I was using my '95 Chev Suburban (w/236,000 miles 4x4, 5.3, AT) and a Uhaul tow dolly to drag a butt-fugly '67 IH 3/4 ton pickup from Portland OR, to San Diego, CA (approx 900 miles). I do almost nothing to take care of this rig other than change oil about every 5k miles.

At the start of the trip my rig was running rough and could tow the load on level ground in 3rd at 3k-ish RPM. Could not hold speed in Drive even on level ground. I ran from Portland to Medford OR without using Restore. There are several small mountain passes with "normal" steep freeway grades and on these I was doing 40 barely.

In Medford I bought a can of Restore, a can of fuel system cleaner and a can of AT magic juice. Put all three in and started out over the Siskyous and on for 14 hours to San Dogg. Just like the Restore can said, after about 100 miles I could start to tell a difference. By the time I had refueled 3X and was going over the Grapevine into LA I was doing 65mph on level ground in OD and I did the steeper parts of the grade at 45 and the less steep at 50-55 in 3rd no problemo.

After dropping off the ugly truck and the tow dolly was the first time I had the Burb back in normal driving mode and it is like a different truck. Quicker, better, whatever.

So my calibrated ***-mometer says Restore did something good and I would think it is on the 5%-8% kind of improvement (my *** being calibrated and all.)

Good job to the magic elves at Restore!

[One to Remember]

this is the best info on the WHOLE net on this issue. i have a 318 out of an 86 b250 ram. out of the 7 cylinders i could check my results were some where 160-180, a few abt 3 were 62-89. the guy who works on my vehicles thinks there are little tears in the cylinders causing that and the rings are still good and doing their job. i have no clue. i bought rislone because the guy from oreilly's recommended it. i know when i put oil in the spark plug holes compression was good and meeting standards. i also know that its got a lot of miles on it, the speedometer is broke and it drove well enough even with bad compression. but i am going to try to keep checking compression again before the fact and then after i add this stuff and see if it stays consistent. eitherway i got a huge can for ten bux or so and its claiming a five dollar rebate so im cool. thats what i was hoping more to see in these EIGHT PAGES, more after the add compression test results. and more info about how long ago it was added too.

I know it's off topic, but the first real use/test of super glue for wounds was in Desert Storm (1991). Combat medics used it all the time to stop bleeding. Docs could trim a little, then sew things back up. Saved LOTS of lives, sometimes all it took was sealing the end of a vein or artery...
