engine restorer?

Has anyone used it? I've never seen it before today. It says u ad it to ur oil and it fills in seals and leaks. It shows stats for a 4 cylinder and there is a huge jump in compression on each cylinder. Just wondering if it works at all, and if u can tell a difference.

Is that the stuff just called "Restore" or something like that in a tin-looking can? I tried that on a couple cars and didn't really notice the difference in oil consumption. I suppose it could work for some people, but it didn't help me.

I use Engine Restorer on both my cars. It's not the type of thing you put in your engine and notice like a huge difference right away it takes time for it to work and you should use it regularly with your oil changes. It's a good thing to use after your car hit's over 90,000 miles I have been using it on my 1991 Buick lesabre since 90,000 miles and right now it's got 360,000 km's ( 224,000 miles) on it and it runs like new. In the past 2 years I have been using it on my 240sx and with a 4cylinder you can notice it a little more. I noticed a huge difference from driving 1991 Buick lesabre with 224,000 miles on it and driving my uncles 1993 Buick lesabre with 165,000 miles on it. His car is 2 years newer 59,000 less miles same engine and transmission and mine pulls much better and accelerates much better and idles very smooth with less engine noise and he noticed the difference too and he has been using it too. If you are looking for instant performance difference you will not notice too much at first with this product if you love your car and you want to protect your investment and prolong the life of your engine parts and keep your horse power from decreasing as your engine ages this is a realy good product and yes unlike the crap you see advertised on TV on informercials and crap this actualy works. Engine Restorer doesn't use big advertising and stuff but most mechanics especialy the ones that have been around for years know about it and many recomend it. It will cost you a little more every time you change your oil but your not losing power due to aging and your preventing internal engine damage. Engine Restorer get's two thumbs up from me!

I've used it before and like it. It definitely didn't screw anything up. Hopefully it did more then make some money disappear. But its not expensive so it's all good.
