Review: This stuff is amazing when used on old, tired, low compression piston rings!!! - Absolutely yes. I've got a second hand 2500 Yukon XL with an 8.1 and it came to me with a rough idle and check engine light with codes for misfire on #1 and &#3. That's the drivers side two front plugs. I pulled the plugs and found some of the ceramic insulator chipped away on both those plugs(towing on cheap low test pump gas in southern USA heat with a large plug gap makes spark-knock and this vortec is just like the smaller ones in they don't appreciate spark knock, this is probably what killed the ceramic insulators). I pulled the rest but they all looked fine. I compression tested and found #1 was 60#'s less than the average (the rest were all within like 17psi of one another((the average was something around 200 or 205)) and #3 was 20#'s less than the average of the rest. I replaced the plugs, gapped them .020 tighter than the sticker says (there's a service notice about using a smaller gap to improve idle and reduce missfire codes) and cleared the codes. Idle improved greatly but it was still noticeably missfire at an almost regular rate. And the miss went away as soon as a little throttle was applied. I added an 8cyl bottle of Restore in I had (I already researched a lot before I bought the truck and had stuff in my desertcart cart). I fired the truck and by the time the idle settled down to its low idle it used to miss at, it was silky smooth. I did a good test rip out in the cornfield loop by my house for about 8 miles and came home with a very big smile on my face as a very happy big block owner. I tested all the cyls and the average had raised by about 10psi and both bad cyls came up to about 7 psi of each other and of the average. I now run a bottle in it every year unless I tow a lot in the summer, then 2x a year. If I go 2 oil changes without it, or about a year, I start to notice its less punchy and it starts to get a little random idle stumble. Not even a miss fire but just a very random stumble. I give this product 12 of ten. I have a lot of experience with using it to bring free junk small engines I get for free, back to life. This stuff even works in splash lubed small engines! It keeps amazing me.
Review: Seal In the Power On Old Engines, But May Need Something Stronger In Very Worn Engines - Generally, I try and not fix what is not broken, though I admit to trying out products out of curiosity. I have a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2 Liter V8 (177,600 Miles) and sometimes add a small dose (16 oz or less) of Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer at some oil changes to add body to the oil (and help it coat the old parts better), but that is about it. I make sure my crank case does not exceed 5 quarts total. Reading the positive reviews of this product, and understanding that the oil acts as a "Cylinder Sealing Lube" to help lock in the power strokes, I was curious. My engine was feeling like it was not quite like it used to be. No huge problem starting up, but the start up time was variable. Sometimes, the engine would start up eagerly, and sometimes, take about a half second longer. I was also wondering if my engine was making near the same amount of power it once did before we bought it at 128,000 miles. I decided to give the Engine Restore CSL a go, along side some Royal Purple 11750 HMX SAE 10W-30 High-Mileage Synthetic Motor Oil - 5 qt. and a Royal Purple 20-253 Oil Filter . I also currently use Lucas Upper Cylinder Lubricant to further boost the presence of lubrication in the system for good measure. After a month of minor improvements to the engine's characteristics, I started noticing that consistently, my engine was starting up right away and the cylinders were now roaring to life. Not only that, but I am noticing that my oil is staying cleaner (less blow-by?), and there is no irregularity in the revving of the engine now. Remember that this won't rebuild an engine and that you don't have to exactly follow the game plan that I did. Start with your preferred brand of oil, a great oil filter and the proper dose of Engine Restore. Keep things simple at first and if the engine is still burning oil, deal with that the way you see fit. My solution is not one-size-fits all. Update 5/4/2017: My review still stands from earlier, but now that I've been taking longer trips, I've found that I need a stronger seal than the engine restore can provide so the Jeep is using the Lucas Oil Stabilizer. The Jeep had a lot of driving in Texas with the first owner so I suspect that this may be partly responsible. I found the necessary % of Lucas Oil Stabilizer to nearly eliminate the oil burn in my engine, but this is only relevant for my engine's characteristics.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used in a 2003 ford 7.3L powerstroke?**
A: Do not! When I recieved this bottle, I found written on the label specifically to not use in Powerstroke Diesel engines. This is not listed on Amazon. The reason it ahould not be used, is because your 7.3 is equipped with a HEUI system, and this formula can cause damage under such intense oil pressures. Professional diesel technician, speaking. Cummins and Powerstroke specialist.

**Q: Will this eliminate the blue smoke out of my vehicle?**
A: Blue smoke indicates oil burning.  The question is how is the oil getting into the combustion chamber.  Most times it's due to valve seals, but it could also be due to worn cylinder walls, bad rings or a head gasket failure.
1.  Valve seals problem solution.  Replace the valve seals - could be an expensive fix.  Or try some chemical to swell the seals, but it's not a permanent fix.
2.  Worn cylinder walls solution.  This could work, as long as the wear isn't too bad.  Restore will fill in some of the scratches in the cylinder and reduce the blue smoke - maybe even eliminate it.
3.  Bad rings solution.  Try running some engine cleaner through the fuel - Seafoam is a good one to try.  If the rings are sticking, you may get lucky and it could clear up the problem.
4.  Head gasket solution.  If there's no white smoke coming out, then only oil is leaking past the head gasket.  The only fix is to replace the head gasket, which is costly.

I hope this helps.

**Q: Can I put in a dirtbike**
A: NO!!! If you have a WET CLUTCH (Clutch/Gear box that shares engine oil) it will RUIN your clutch!!!!!

**Q: Can i add this to my existing oil?**
A: of course...but it's best to add it to a new (clean) oil change

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 6.2 liter V8 Cadillac Escalade. THE REAL DEAL!
*by R***R on October 25, 2023*

I never bother to write reviews. Escalade 143K miles. Out of nowhere we ere sitting in line at Whataburger when the truck suddenly started misfiring and shaking. The check engine light started flashing off and on and the anti-skid system light came on. I just happened upon this additive on Amazon, read the reviews and said WTH! I’ll give a try. Delivered to my door the next evening. I had my doubts, but I poured this product into the oil filler and started it up. Right away the misfire and shaking was almost totally gone. Drove it and it drove really smooth at highway speed. It did misfire just a little at idle but the change was incredible. The check engine light came back on. I went and had all my compressions checked and all 8 were way low. So I’m probably going to rebuild the engine. BUT this stuff absolutely works! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product if the misfire is not too bad or if your compression is pretty good. It will definitely be worth trying. It really is a mini-overhaul and tuneup in a $10 can. It works!
