Engine Restore, 2 days later 🤔 ...issues...

- You've added Engine Restore to your engine. Now what? Everything might be okay, but it can cause issues. Engine Restore and Lubrication caused me a number of issues during this oil additive test. Here, I'll discuss some of the issues it caused, what you can do about it. This is an ongoing process. There will be a part 3. Here's the only good things happening Part 1: • I can't believe what E...
I can't believe what Engine Restore did to my Engine!
Engine Restore and Lubrication can be used regularly, according to some online sources, at a 5% solution to your oil. Many small engines like this have a 4 quart or 32oz. x 4 capacity. Times that by 0.05 and you get 6.4 oz. This little Hyundai only has a 1 liter engine and a little less oil capacity so I kept it at 3 oz but 5% would have been 5.6 oz.
I originally thought I was doing about 5% use of Engine restore and Lubrication but I forgot that there is 32 oz. in 1 quart and I did the math wrong. I want to thank "bill smith" in the comments for catching my error.
When you need Engine Restorer and Lubricant using less is better than more. Rhkips has used it in a lot of engines and he says it can cause oil starvation and block up oil filters. It contains solids which can get in there with soft metals and fill in spaces which shouldn't have space in then.
A hint for part 3. I think 1 part Lucas Fully Sunthetic Oil additive and 1 part Engine Restorer will have you in good shape.

"Engine Restore" is meant to rebuild the compression in your cylinders and it's a super lubricant. It's not meant for anything else and it takes about 200 miles for it to make a noticeable difference and yes it works great. I've used it several times and it works very well bringing back almost factory compression to a high mileage engine
Would it work on my 286,000 Honda Pilot. Got one bad cylinder
Does it use variable valve timing?
That's usually the only, you'd have to be desperate because it'll break that....
I'm sorry u are having these issues. I hope the engine restore didnt make it worse 😬 And that u are able to fix it. These kinds of issues during this time can be extra stressful to deal with. Be safe and be well ❤
i used it in my f-150 4.9 6 for years and got over 500,000 miles when i sold changed my own oil add restore the last 15 years everytime, now have a Cherokee 4.0 and been using it from my first oil change when i bought the jeep 14 years ago no problems
Well if that isn't a great review of a product, I don't know what is!
wonderful video and thanks for making it and show your love.
Happy to! I suggest you be sure to check out part 3 which is coming!
Hello. I have oil treatment + viscosity improver and engine restorer&lubricant from RESTORE. Can I put them together into the motor If motor has 3 litres? And what proportions do I need to use? The reason is that motor eats oil. I have quad bike.
Thank you!
I have used Restore for years. With many engines. No problems whatsoever
Does it help? Heard mainly good but not to add loads
ive been using it for years its never caused me a single problem your engine must be completely gone
The engine is still improved with the Engine Restorer, I just didn't know this engine doesn't sound good in warm weather. Soon as it got cold again lately it sounded better. Plus, I tried something else and I think I have a new secret to using Engine Restorer and Lubrication: czcams.com/video/NwO9dnwDgj0/video.html
@@DENicholsAutoBravado i have a 2006 saturn ion ticks to its normal i heard yours in your video thats not a rod or you would know it my car ticks to engine restore brought my 245,000 mile saturn ion 2.2 back to life i mean almost instantly within 20 miles i notices the engine getting stronger pulling harder i use lucas engine oil stop leak 1 quart every oil change and engine restore together after my next oil change the oil leak will have vanished mine was burning and leaking now it stays full thanks to lucas and engine restore yeah bro that ticking is normal mine does it to just like yours just moving parts if it were a rod it would be rapping and low oil pressure awesome video yeah your fine you can use lucas engine oil stop leak and restore together im doing it right now their both in my oil keep up the awesome videos
Thanks for the real world report! It's one of the best reasons to put up a video. I love hearing about other people's experiences. I fixed all the oil leaks on mine before this and the engine restorer caused about a quart to burn off. While it was happening it was running the best.
I read synthetic oil stops engine restore from working so when I topped off with synthetic I may have stopped some of the benefits. Instead of 53 hp on the freeway I'm back down to 30's but on a 43 hp engine that's okay.
You shouldn't get a high hp read at higher speeds as most of your power is already used up just maintaining your speed. Still really up from the 22 hp which wasn't enough to get up a hill and increasing speed on the autobahn. I could maintain before but now acceleration is still an option on hills.
@@DENicholsAutoBravado id be putting a bottle of lucas engine oil stop leak in every oil change with the restore the restore takes time to work and yours obviously like mine was already burning oil lucas is a dam good product and coats your engine use engine oil stop leak version with the restore and the synthetic oil and restore not working together is bs cause im running synthetic lol any questions just ask me but id defenately be putting some lucas in to to protect your engine parts and keep seals soft
Any experience with manual transmissions and additives? The transmission is a little whiney.
Thanks for sharing this tips..very informative and helpful
which oil did you use with Restore?
Interesting tip. Didn't fully get everything here, but you used too much oil last time?
I believe the engine restore caused oil to burn off which wasn't a previous issue for the engine. My horse power is still restored but the engine sounds harsh. It could just be increased compression which is good.
I added more high quality oil and that helped but (I hope) the final conclusion is in the next video.
Oil isn't still burning off but power is still up. That's as much as I'll say until the next video comes out. I don't want to ruin it. Lol
@@DENicholsAutoBravado You engine must be really in bad condition. As soon as you can, take it to mechanic. I dont think, these kind of additives can do miracles for a long time. maybe just to help you get to mechanic and not destroy engine totally.
Useful tips ! Great vid !
Thanks!
I was just wondering do you have to do it every time you do a oil change
If it works one makes a difference, too maintain the change, yes, you'd want to use it regularly. At a much lower treatment though. The recommendation I've been following from bobistheoilguy is to use just 5% regularly as maintenance. This is a lot less than it says on the bottle.
I've further read that the Engine Restorer and Lubrication works best with conventional oil. I tried that and my results are way more consistent.
Do you think this product could help to stop blue smoke ?
Blue smoke is from piston rings leaking oil into the combustion chamber and this could help. Improving that is how it can improve combustion. It works better with conventional oil. A lot better than with synthetic.
i had blown gasket with my engine, white exhaust but no milk coolant in the crankcase. Tried the Prestone Dupont head gasket repair, it worked out for me. Just remember to flush out radiator and coolant after few hundred miles. Recently tried the Engine Restorer because of blown by problem, after 100 miles, blown by problem seem to be long gone. Don't know if it will hold up though, keeping my fingers crossed here.
Well for me when I did my normal full synthetic, that's when engine restorer didn't work. Switched back to conventional because Engine Restorer said it works better that way and they were right. 👍
One of my friends only used it when engines were really bad. If you're earlier than that it could help for longer.
Good tips Ang ideas...helpful
Can’t change your oil but you can add an additive?
Exactly. In Germany it's illegal to change your oil without a sealed floor under you, and with COVID 19 the shop was closed.
Thankfully, I've been working away on all kinds of cars once the shop opened up.
The reason why you are not having success is because you don't understand the true issue with your car. Your oil cap is telling you your head gasket is blown. Oil is seeping past the gasket into the cylinders, and coolant is also seeping past and mixing with your oil. Engine restore will fix low compression piston rings, but will not seal a head gasket. Your cylinder head is warped and needs resurfaced and a new head gasket and bolts. While most additives are not a guarantee, engine restore is proven to increase piston ring compression. It's the one additive that actually does something. Your best bet is to try Rislone or Bars Head Gasket Fix. I will say, the head gasket fix is a hit or miss. In my case, it did not work because my cylinder head was too warped. But it has worked for others. If you end up trying that out, follow the instructions. If you do not follow the instructions and pour it directly where it needs to go, you could end up blocking the heater core.
I really appreciate you taking the time. Is it possible there is a slight head gasket leak? Yes.
What you may not know, is that having a milky oil cap when you live in a very wet place is normal even on brand new cars.
When I change the oil, there is no obvious contamination. A oil test would be more accurate to say more definitively one way or the other. It could prove you or me more accurate on the assessment.
Something else of interest. This engine has a lot of looser tolerances. When it is cold out the engine is much quieter. If there was more than a slight head gasket leak a small change in weather wouldn't improve things dramatically.
A thicker oil would help with the tolerances.
Check out what happened next:
It suggests my assessment is accurate:
czcams.com/video/NwO9dnwDgj0/video.html
You'll also see the oil cap is building up less moisture as it was a dryer couple of weeks for Germany.
Be sure to check out the first video and see how much more power Engine Restorer gave the car.
czcams.com/video/PUGZMKJBNr0/video.html
I'm sure the product did help with lower compression. 👍😁
@@DENicholsAutoBravado NOT
Agreed.
@@DENicholsAutoBravado dude your headgasket is gone you are blaming the wet environment for the white crap on yor oil cap is insane the heat from your engine is enough to evaporate any environmental moisture unless your driving under three feet of water all the time you should have tore it down when you first noticed moisture on the cap instead of keeping driving it and ruining the engine it could have been saved then putting in additives and putting them down when the problem isnt solved basically your just throwing money at a dead pig now and dragging good products through the mud behind you i seriously doubt you know anything about cars judging by this situation no one should listen to your advice and grow a real mustache for gods sake.smfh
This is the best product on the market!!!!!! My engine runs smooth with no more ticking noise!!!! People it's no way it will hurt your car, it can only help.
If you watch the whole series, I Gino you'd catch I figured out the issue.
This product is terrible with synthetic oil. Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer shuts this product down in a bad way.
Always running conventional with it? No problems.
I suppose and hope you changed the oil after a running it for a while!?
Oh, but of course. Most engine's are fine changing the oil at 3k miles with conventional oil or even 5k or 9k miles with synthetic oil and a modern engine.
This engine at 600 miles wanted an oil change. It typically got that. Tiny, weird 1.3 liter engine...there are motorcycles with more displacement. Lol
The manufacturer said it was fine for 5k km, but this old engine prefers more attention.
Ads watched until end. Big help for those with cars thank i have learned somerhing atv
Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time very much!
It works great but it's beat to use it with a fresh Oil Change. I use it all the time with a Quart of Lucas high mileage.
Absolutely, that's best. The pandemic had just started and living at an apartment I had no legal way to change my oil.
It worked even better even I stopped using synthetic.
The next owner of the car wouldn't replace the alternator but she wanted it easier to start. I told her it won't run as well but 0w-30 synthetic will get easier starts.
She should have listened. I was no longer in Germany and she bought a tune up when those were already new.
Some cars out there? Perfectly fine. Their owners?
As always bud, good info......#flyerstone
If it’s struggling to get up the hill and accelerate properly ain’t that the fuel filter?
Yes it could be. This car has no fuel filter. So maybe a fuel pump would help. The fuel mixture doesn't exactly go rich like regular cars do when you're trying to make power. It could need a newer fuel pump.
This stff ruined my motor, made it run worse cuased the cataylic converters to fail, let me explain. It cuased the oil to turn black and gritty, it messed up the viscosity, turned the oil black, the engine restore has some kind of fine grit metals that supposedly increase compression and restore rings but it made my motor runs worse, fouled plugs also.
One of my fellow mechanics, who has used this product for a lot more years than me said when it has that effect it's because the engine was done for anyway. He often uses Engine Restore as a last result. It can have a much more stable influence if the engine is worn, but in better shape.
I suppose and hope you changed the oil after a running it for a while!?
Works too well, only thing is it leaves behind clumps of material I can only assume is the lead and copper if I recall correctly. I would not use this on a dirty engine in any circumstance. It needs cleaning or it will clog all the smaller oil passages, resulting in a very noisy time. That being said seafoam it visually inspect that the engine is clean and then restore it. My 03 Saturn v6 has a filter housing and I found it all clumped up inside in corners of the housing. it improved all of the issues I was having less smoke less noise(aside from a couple loud taps right after adding)it even seemed to add power back, reduce oil leakage. but going back without it later on results in a return of issues after a couple hundred miles. Smokey on startup again and lifter noise returning. I plan to use another can soon. My engine is at 176.5k mi.
Ah yes. You remind me why, now that I've used this product, why I want to run an oil flush 3rd oil change in with this product.
I've maintained this engine for my customer for over 200k miles. Whenever I needed to get in the engine it was surprisingly clean. Maybe you have a point that the product works better on a cleaner engine.
It's going more than a little better on this 98 Corolla with going on 500k miles than that Hyundai Atos with many less kilometers in Germany, but then, this Corolla engine is in better shape.
You could try 6 oz. Of Lucas Heavy Duty oil stabilizer. Ran some of that instead of more engine restore as I burned or leaked some oil out and it really helped.
Start with 3 oz. even. Should help with pumping losses on the cylinder walls and even clean some of the engine restore off.
Because this was the oldest engine I've ever treated, it's interesting to explore. With the issues you're having saving for something in better condition is a good idea, but I love the opportunity to test more of these products and see how far I can go.
Waiting after this engine is done is a gorgeous 44k mile engine waiting for me.
So overall are you happy with restore?
Yes, all the issues I had was because of using synethic oil with it. I learned that using conventional oil lets it work the best. Who's going to complain about going from 21-22 wHP on the freeway to 44 wHP? At lower speeds, it was 55 wHP after. This engine was definitely lacking compression, and Engine Restore helped boost that up high enough to have better wHP than the promised HP by the original manufacturer.
First car I used Restore 1980 Mustang 300,000 miles very low compression and Restore brought it back to life and I used it every Oil change lasted another 3 years
Noice!
Don't do what I did here then. Use it with conventional oil. It doesn't work well with synthetic oil. Series may be further expanded. Lots of unedited photage. Lol
DE Nichols I don't know where or what kind of synthetic oil you used, but I have used both types and never had a problem. If that milkshake Oil was not a result of a blown head gasket, most likely the detergents in the oil were breaking down. That's why I quit using a brand of Oil called Kendall. It liked to get milky even after short time after Oil change. That and I have heard but not sure pcv valve can cause it
@@hookyjo72 so the car lasted 3 more years.. so it completely died after 3 more years?
Low compression is often an engine death sentence so if so that's really good.
Good job. That’s a great help . thanks for sharing. Thanks for sharing
Ada finished. Very helpful topic which i can make use thank u
I'm here cause you were in my comments
I'm now here forever
Lol. I appreciate it! I'm going to ask you back. Why are you alive? If anyone wants to get this visit my friend here. Has has a question for you.
So you cant change your engine oil on your own property?
In Germany? No. I'm back in America and I hope to never have this situation again.
If you have a sealed driveway. Like a ga re age with a nice sealed cement then it is authorized. Out in the country farmers are allowed to work and they don't get messed with.
Specifically car fluids. Anything else is fine by them. I changed my spark plugs and wires during the beginning of the pandemic. Things like that are allowed.
They also don't allow car washing. Cars get covered in petrochemicals by other cars as you drive and they don't want it getting into the water supply.
I honestly don't think the environment is that sensitive. I think it's a B.S. move to make car washing places get more business. Plenty of cities try to do even worse laws in America. Car washing places still typically go out of business.
Not a safe industry, unless it's a bigger city and you can get higher end detailing clientelle.
Ridiculous
DE NICHOLS DID YOU SAY IN ANOTHER VIDEO YOU PUT A CAN OF COKE IN YOUR ENGINE . IF YOU DID I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT SUGAR IS USED TO DISTROY AN INGINE. JUST SAYING. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IS CLEAN YOUR INGINE USE MAGIC INGINE CLEANER THEN PUT ON SOME NEW OIL AND PUT IN A GOOD OIL FILTER GOOD LUCK.
Lol. No, no coke in the engine. Thanks for the laugh!
Did you check the brake lights if they don't turn on that means the battery is no good might need a new engine that's what happened to my car. Good luck bro
The engine is worn. The Engine Eestore and Lubrication works a lot better with conventional oil.
Please don't tell me that a mechanic made you replace an engine because your brake light switch was shot...
Unfortunately, additives are not guaranteed. I've never trusted them.
There are a few additives which I feel I understand very well and I know the rare times to use them but this is an even rarer product to be used I think. Unless you're avoiding an engine rebuild or car replacement for a while this isn't a good one.
If you are in that case, then this could help you keep going a while longer.
@@DENicholsAutoBravado also, the problem with additives is many people think they can be an alternative to getting a car properly fixed. If that was the case, getting a thing like a head gasket done would be replaced with an additive that claims to fix them.
putting penzoil in any engine is lethal .
Lol! So funny! Felt that way in the early 2000's but now their top formulas are only second to redline. My data is a few years old and not rechecked.
A funnel works great 👍
People aren't going to stop busting me for this are they!? Lol. 😲kidding 🤣
When Coronavirus had just started I was going to go out and buy a funnel? No way.
Also, my norm was to go to a nearby shop which let me rent a stall cheaply.
It's illegal in Germany to even change oil without a sealed driveway so I never had messed with fluids outside the shop.
I, honestly, hate funnels on the go. They drain fluid for weeks and make a mess. Back home to my garage, I always put the funnel back into a container to catch the oil and cover it to prevent dust. My funnel is good to go after all this time back at home! Lol
I was in Germany for like 9.5 months and I'm back in NC back to all my funnels which are mess free. Lol
DE Nichols just make a cheap one, cut a pop bottle in half and magic you have a funnel lol 😂
I would try a clean synthetic oil with synthetic oil engine flush try medic mechanic synthetic oil engine flush try that two-three times and put engine restore everytime it should help or try lubegaurd products
I love you're thinking! I'm gung ho on synthetic too! The solution though, isn't what you think.
I read up on Engine Restore. When I ran it with nonsynthetic, suddenly my engine was gung ho and stayed gung ho for about 1k miles at a time.
This car eats oil changes. Lol 1 liter engine on the autobahn? Yeah, I decided to travel a lot before my contract had me leave Germany. I learned hard core it wants new oil as fast as my 250cc motorcycle from flying down the freeway. It makes sense.
Remember. This car had 21 whp when I started and at the best I got it up to 54 whp!
I did this just by getting this little engine tuned up and running on Engine Restore! That's it!
this is all very interesting Dave I have always thought pouring things into your engine that are not manufacturer approved is like rolling a dice a gamble
*supported you plus like👍Au👍 and full view*
You've got that right! I'm sure Hyundai didn't intend for this engine to go 230,000 kilometers either or what one might do to keep it going. Look forward to part 3 of this series. You might just be surprised at what happens next.
When I changed the oil pan I noticed the crankshaft was supporting parts loosely for the pistons. I can't believe this engine is still going.
Maybe it was built to looser specs? The Cams also wiggle but they have little metal springs like what you see in an oil filter giving support to their positions.
This engine seemed designed that way up top but down below I think that lateral movement is wear.
@@DENicholsAutoBravado I await the next part think that engine maybe close to toast
Tip, manufacturers do not want your car to last longer than the guarantee period, so putting your trust in them can be risky. Common sense and experience are keywords.
Here it is, 3 years later. What's your opinion now?
Using it longer term, be sure to run oil flushes or engine restore turns into oil burning.
Now I use it in a 485,000 mile 1998 Corolla. That's important. 2000 and later with VVT-i or other variable cam technologies would be clogged up by this.
Every few oil changes I skip it. Less power but full synthetic works without Engine Restorer.
I learned shell's "truck" formula can be half synthetic and Engine Restorer still works.
@@DENicholsAutoBravado Thanks. I drive a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria LX, with about 246,000 km on it. That's a 4.6 litre 2v OHC V8, so nothing too complicated. I use Motorcraft 5w20 synthetic blend (regular oil and synthetic blended) and Motorcraft filters. It works not too badly. Still 'lays rubber' 😂
You can't change your oil at home in Germany?
If they drive your car over a big drain to change your oil in case it overflows the oil container then they really should just lock your hood so you can't do it at all.
You were pouring oil from oil container to another and could have just as easily spilled the oil on your engine and on the ground.
For that matter they should enclose the engine in a sealed container in case of an accident so fluids won't escape the vehicle.
222222 Okay that's like in February on the 20th we saw in military time at 20 minutes after 8 and 20 seconds 20:20:20 02/20/2020 when will that happen again?
Some additives help for a little while with your problems then you end up having more problems. For instance some additives will cause seals to expand and stop things from leaking. An example would be power steering fluids. My PS was leaking so I put fluid in that said stops leaks well I ended up having to replace the rack. It didn't take long once I started using that stuff. Actually I think it speeds up the wear. So scientific stuff aside did your gas mileage improve? I guess I've critiqued enough. Happy Motoring Ernie oops I mean Dave.
Make that David.
In Germany it's illegal to change your fluids without the whatever under the car is, is sealed. The local shops which let me work on my own car for a small fee have all closed up as far as I can tell.
I only changed the oil pan gasket about 2000 kilometers ago so this oil is still quite new, but when it's used up it's used up. I don't question it.
My gas mileage is definitely improved. I can't give exact numbers yet as I still haven't run low on gas! I normally get 33 miles per gallon (yes I had to convey it from km/l to make sense of it). I usually am about to run out of gas at about 230 kilometers. When I first got the car it was so bad as to go 170 kilometers when I'd suddenly be at 1/4 of a tank.
I just got below half a tank and I'm at about 247 kilometers in the tank. Definite improvement. Still awaiting the real results and defined numbers.
And understand I'm running A/C now and putting more load on the engine while getting these results!
It's true I've done a lot of repairs which I haven't edited up yet...I sort of skipped ahead in the story because this was exciting! Lol. . . But none of those repairs really had an effect on the gas mileage.
The additives don't have an effect on gaskets or I'd be more worried to use it...thought with all the gaskets new...there's not much to worry until years down the road and I won't own it anymore.
Sorry, not sorry 😉, I had to break down my response in a few responses. I couldn't keep it all in my head for 1 response. Lol
Very good comment sir!
Wow. If I was so concerned with spilling oil, I think Id ride a bicycle. This is an old video, wonder what his views are on the world today.
In Germany no oil can be on the outside of your engine.
It's amazing how much more their parts rust in their engine bays then in America were a little seepage just keeps the rust at bay.
I can’t understand why you can’t change the oil, I can understand the filter, but swapping fluids is simple for laypersons. My car is designed well enough I can change engine and transmission oils and the filters with the car on the ground
It's Germany. That's illegal.
I'm a professional mechanic, but law requires fluid changes has to be in an environment like a shop. With the shop I had access being closed from COVID infections, I was stuck.
Couldn't make it clear in the video. It was early pandemic when CZcams would cancel anyone talking about it.
Don't pour into the smaller bottle over your engine! Cut the bottom off of the smaller empty bottle and you have a long funnel!
I know that easier way.
The reason I didn't...
I don't like using a funnel without my shop. Funnels keep draining. I don't like oily, smelling interiors. At the shop I always have them covered for dust and draining into an appropriate container. A few days of working in the shop and 3 oz. of oil come off a funnel.
It's usually a mix of oils but one shop I was busy at made a supply.
I do appreciate that you took the time to teach me something even though I already know it lol.
He said he had a funnel but didn't go get it ?Germany is VERY STRICT ON GETTING ANY CONTAMINATES ON THE GROUND, WTF ? USE A FUNNEL, SIR.
Just don't want a mess. Having a funnel in your car is having something that'll forever leak oil around it.
@@DENicholsAutoBravado Why keep it in your car ? Put it back where you wouldn't get it from after running a rag through it, YES ? I edited my other response about being LAZY, Actually " I HAVE DONE THE SAME THING ". I keep a cut off quart oil bottle under the hood with a rag stuffed in it in all my vehicles to use as a funnel, not inside the car. THANKS AGAIN.
Yeah. Some cars have a place for something like that and others don't. I like funnels to be immaculate.
A quick rag through it? The plastic holds oil and keeps leaking. It's a good property of oil to protect metal, but I haven't liked looking at oil messes around funnels I cleaned and then put under the hood.
That’s a valve problem...
While I do agree, I knew the engine could run quieter because before these oil choices it was much quieter. Go ahead and watch what happens next and be sure to subscribe because I've learned even more about this product and I have another video coming! 😁

1 km = .6213 miles.
The engine needs flushed out and oil changed
For an Atos i use 5w40 or 10w40,depends how mutch they drive but the Atos engine's are not oil burners!!!
Don't worry. I'm back not to burning oil. And yes. I bought 10w-40 oil just the other day for the next oil change. It's a warm summer and this 135,000 mile or 225,000 km engine is pretty lose. We'll see how that goes.
It's summer here in Germany. It was hard to find, but I bought conventional 10w-40 and the car seems really happy! I am usually an all synthetic oil kind of guy but Engine Restorer and Lubrication is supposed to work better with conventional.
This is great, good job keep it up. New friend, can we be friend? Nice one. 👍
Your problem is your adding all these additives and you just need to get under your car and change the oil takes 10 mins geez
Exactly. Coronavirus situation plus being in Germany. There was no where I could legally go to change my oil.
Soon as shops opened up, and even better the shop I work at. I changed the oil. Car kept most of the power gains. It got a lot more stable over time. Needed thicker oil, conventional, and Engine Restore. Want to find out why? Be sure to subscribe to upcoming videos.
Mind you this guy is a rally car driver ..
Shhhhh. Don't tell but I did rally it before selling it. 👊I asked the ladies on the way to a good bye for our end in Germany. Mind if we have some fun? Squealed the tires through every turn.
Fun little car.
Wow you sure know cars👌🏽✨💓
Enjoyed the ride with you 💗
Haha! 🤣 Funny! 😁
That's the danger of doing experiments! I'm know I'm pushing against what's is wise and I'm sharing the results. Here's a playlist of more experiments, which usually went better. czcams.com/play/PLh_yB9HJ4Gi6RK7jJtd8xZHMqdYveHbSH.html
I know this was 2 years ago, but I work on cars for a living. Your previous video showed yellow "sludge" in your oil. A serious amount of it. This additive didn't harm your engine. The moisture in your oil did. You have a blown head gasket, or have a weeping leak into your oil. THAT will cause damage. If you are here to find a review on Engine Restore, this is not it. Watch ProjectFarm.
Worked on cars for a living as well for a long time. Seen my share of oil contamination as well. As soon as I stopped short tripping because this was the beginning of the pandemic and there was no where to go, moisture didn't build up in the cap anymore.
Moisture is created during combustion. Short trips can cause issues because there isn't enough heat to get rid of small amounts of moisture.
No water was mixed with oil in the oil pan. No oil was in the coolant. The Engine Restore worked great with conventional oil, and not synthetic oil. Adding synthetic Lucas oil additive only made things even worse.
I hate this product.
What engine did you use it on and what was the problem?
The question you have to ask yourself is... Do you feel lucky punk? ha ha :-D
How is the restorer making the engine run better?, is it making the compression better because of worn rings and bore?.
Would the real fix be a light rebore or honing out and fresh rings?.
You are a mechanic dave, if you don't know then no one does.
You don't live in germany, there standards are nothing to do with you.
Get that little engine fixed, so you can have the air con on every day :-D.
Is it me or does he look like the BTK killer?
I had to look him up and I'd say no. He has that tall moustache, mine doesn't come close. He has male-pattern baldness and a look like he doesn't belong in the world. I am loved, caring, and I'm a hero when I can be to the good people around me.
I'm missing every attribute except we both have a moustache, LOL.
@@DENicholsAutoBravado Too funny sir. Look up the move "The Lovely Bones" or Mind Hunters on Netflix. Maybe it's the Mind Hunters BTK version then. 😅😅😅👊🏼👏🏼
I've watched several videos on engine restore. And yours was exactly the same results, as theirs. Except you was comparing it to a Ferrari. Maybe it did its job, but you acted like my 20 year old nephew, and ragged it out. Just a thought
It's 1.0 liter engine. It sounds like your ragging it out just to get it up to a city speed limit. When it sounds like you're at a very high RPM before shifting on most cars you may be at 4-5k RPM. On this one? Maybe 3K.
I assure you I didn't rag it out, it just seems like it in this tiny engine. 🤣
I only tested its wHP a couple of times as a baseline to prove that it had made a difference.
Man..... I'm not trying to be rude at all, but as a mechanic, I have to say, you have no idea of cars, how they work, what symptoms mean to diagnose, or any mechanical inclination. Anything your telling people is misinforming them. You have a blown head gasket leaking water into your oil. Adding restore will not remove that water. An oil flush & change would but without fixing the head gasket it Will be right back in the oil in no time. Once oil gets milky it no longer lubricates or protects. It looses all viscosity. Adding fresh oil or restore to that slurry will NOT help anything. I'm sorry about your issues but you should not be making car voids with no clue about cars. And I know technically you can do what ever you wish to, but being a responsible adult human I'd like to believe that your smart enough to see the falicy in that and the problems it can generate by people wrongfully believing you know what your talking about since you say it with confidence. .... I'm not hating and I wish your channel the best. But please stick to what you know.
Wow. It's amazing how many people don't know that oil caps looking like that don't guarantee a bad head gasket.
Never worked in a moist place or worked on a car doing lots of short tripping? Once I started to explore Germany with it, that build up totally stopped.
I respect you're worried, but I worked as a pro in shops for years. I just happened to be in Germany for a medical contract as I was surgically trained before I got bored and learned cars. Had an opportunity to make a ton more in medical traveling. I've done that a few times over the decades. Kinda of boring but money talks and it was a lot of fun to be out of the states and explore some place different for a while.
Go ahead. Been a lot of years since I watched this other pro. He was a pro on Fords and Chrysler. Lots of Fords some years back would get gunky caps like this and some of them got misdiagnosed as head gaskets but it was an issue with too much cooler on the turbo charger.
Something like 5 but 6 inches of plastic and the issue would stop. Just a tad too much cool air and it'd get too much moisture.
I actually know quite a lot, but just watch 1 video and assume or check out more of my channel. Up to you.
By the way, you did come across as someone who cares, but you aren't right on this one. You cared so I took the time to care back. It's illegal in Germany to work on cars on the street and without the local shop open there wasn't much I could do accept add oil or have fun and learn soemthing.
Engine Restorer worked fantastic on this car so long as I ran it with conventional oil. Didn't work so well when I ran synthetic. This is a high strung little engine to be on the autobahn. Needed oil changes every 1000km until I started using Engine Restorer. Helped with minimal blow by enough to raise the wHP from 21 on the freeway to 55. Just incredible. I miss that little car but sold it of course when I left Germany.
Ah. Forgot why I mentioned Germany so much. The local shops were supposed to be open for COVID but someone caught it and it shut down the whole shop. They let me rent a stall when I wanted to go to town on this little car. There were a couple German pro's that I enjoyed working on side work with and a bunch of oil changing guys. 1 of which begged me to teach in the afternoon but the hospital didn't care for that idea. The local college had trouble keeping teachers. I almost paid for all my travel working on nurses and med tech's cars for fun. Kept my skills up and I worked on stuff I wouldn't have seen much in the states. It was a lot of fun. 😁
Happy Fathers Day if it applies. It was a great day!
Oil wasn't milky at all. I was worried until it's first oil change. Cheap car. Had fun fixing it up and sold it with it working far better than when I started with it.
@@DENicholsAutoBravado I dis watch a few of your vids. 2 on this car and it was what I saw in the head through the cap hole, on the cap, & dipstick. As well as a few other symptoms about power loss @ certain rpms. Ive been a mechanic in America, North East Tn to be more accurate, for 21yrs + (& counting hopefully, God willing). We have lots of moisture here in the mountains and I've not seen natural moisture cause that much water contamination in oil. "Restore" does have powdered particulates of copper, lead, & a few other metals that when heated @ a head gasket leak can melt to build up and block the leak in some cases. Kind of like a head sealer would work. Very similar. But my thoughts on your mechanical abilities also was formed by your V8 having 8qts of oil statement along with a few others. Here in the states unless it diesel or German it only has around 5.5-7 qts. And for the 4cyl it should have taken roughly half of the V8 bottle for proper dosage for the engine. Myself & customers have been using this product in our high milage autos for many a yrs now. Its actually meant for up to 20% of your engines oil capacity. I wouldnt recommend it for extending your oil change though. For that ID suggest either "Amsoil" or "Mervels Mystery Oil". Those are both extremely good lubes. "Amsoil" of course would have to start @ the oil change to swap over to that brand of synthetic. It truly is the worlds greatest oil with a Chevy Astro van running over a half mill miles on the same oil. And "Marvels" is an additive that can be put in any time.
I truly meant no disrespect. I thought I had made that clear. And i never meant to say your dumb or stupid. Only ignorant to cars & mechanical diagnostics. And i dont say that with malice or anger, I say it as a professional in this particular field. You most likely have me beat everywhere else in a mental bowl game, but on mechanics Im a prodigy with 21+yrs to enhance. Lol.
Thank you so much for the happy fathers day, & I'd Like to wish you one as well. Happy Fathers Day!!! I hope it was truly blessed for you and all to come. Seems your doing Gods work helping with healthcare. Even if its for the money, at least your out there helping & doing something positive with your life!!! Damn good job Sir. Damn good job.
You did not change the oil, it looks like You just add some to use one being in it, strange?? and that poor engine is a small thing and You pushing it like it was a 5 liter V 12 Lamborghini, the car is not a problem it is just old, the problem is the driver here in this video. TH
Read about what JESUS did this is mine blowing. Can you believe this, did you ever hear of this about HIM

But of course. Not sure why you're repeating this across multiple channels. Same comments all over can get hit by CZcams as spam and I wouldn't want CZcams to see your comments that way!
@@DENicholsAutoBravado perhaps spend your time spreading the Gospel, as JESUS told us to...vs what your trying to do (hindering)
@@Mr.Caring Jesus taught not to judge my friend. Sounds like I'm being judged now when I was trying to be supportive.
The Bible says not to judge whether someone is going to heaven or hell, but we are able to judge their fruits (how they act. )
@@Mr.Caring What's wrong with me teaching people about cars? People need to get to work.
