I bought a bottle of Engine Restorer for my Acura V6 because i was losing compression in cylinder 4, so I decided to put it up for the test!! I did the first compression test at 6 miles after emptying the whole bottle in. It ended up misfiring again from cylinder 4 after a few miles later, however i did see an increase from 120psi to 165psi after driving it 108 miles..thats an increase of 45psi !!LMK YOUR OPINION & WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS PRODUCT. WOULD YOU USE THIS ?? - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Put this in a cheap beater car I bought that was headed to the junk yard. Previous owner changed the oil 1 time in 5 years and about 60k miles. It burned oil badly. After months of seafoam and MMO along with high detergent oil and low mile changes it seemed to have cleaned the engine some. Still burned a lot of oil so next I figured what do I have to lose. Dumped in about 2/3 bottle of restore additive (it's got vvt so wanted to not clog up the screens hopefully). Within about half hour of running/driving the burning oil decreased significantly.
Thank you for the vital info!
Just wanted to update.oil consumption hasn't improved anymore then it did within the first hour or so but it's not getting worse either. I have since changed the oil and am now running the remainder of the bottle along with shell formula oi and a wix filter. Consumption is about a quart in 800 miles. Before was about 400 miles for a quart.

Another update. I am about 300 miles in on the oil change. Oil is still at "max". Seems oil consumption has went down more. I can't say it's from this additive alone. It could also be caused by the cleaning of the decent oil as well.i am thinking my issue was caused by gummed up rings.
@@pospc2 anymore updates?
It does really help..got it for my Volvo V70...I feel car got more power
yes i love it!
Hey everyone i just wanted to share this with you all !! I talked to the manufactures of this product directly and they told me do NOT use this if your vehicle has VVT Valve Timing system in it. It will clog everything up and it wont be good! So make sure you check that first before you use this product! If it doesnt have a VVT system your good. Other systems like Hydraulic valve lifters and stainless steal shims are ok. According to Scotty Kilmer. So yeah, hope that helps! Your manufacturer of your vehicle can help you if you give them your VIN number. They can tell you for sure if it has VVT . CHeers!
This is the best comment here, RESTORE IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN VTECT ENGINES like the one being shown which has VTEC, in RESTOREs website they specifically list VTEC and IVTEC engines in their do not use section. Glad i saw this comment before i used it, thank you! Below is the comment from their website.
WHAT OTHER ENGINES CANNOT USE RESTORE ENGINE RESTORER?
Engine Restorer should not be used in any engine using engine oil as a hydraulic fluid, pumping it at high pressure to regulate or actuate other engine functions. The HEUI diesel engine is one of these. Although rare in the UK, HEUI engines are found in Ford Power Stroke and Navistar engines, some International and Caterpillar brand truck engines and some Isuzu Troopers (4JX1 engines). A HEUI engine is a high efficiency diesel engine where the injectors operate off engine oil pumped at high pressure - DO NOT USE RESTORE IN THIS ENGINE. A HEUI engine has two oil filters. If you are in any doubt as to whether yours is a HEUI engine, please ask your dealer before using RESTORE or call our technical helpline on 01728 726620
Many later model VVT engines such as BMW VANOS or Valvetronic engines, including the BMW/PSA Prince 1.4L and 1.6L petrol engines used in the BMW Mini and some Citroen and Peugeot cars, Subaru AVCS and AVLS, Honda VTec and iVTec, Fiat MultiAir, Fiat 500 (2007 onwards), Toyota VVTi and VVTL-I engines, GM Active Fuel Management engines (fitted in some Chevrolet trucks but rare in the UK), and others, too many to list here, use engine oil pressure to actuate or regulate camshaft positioning and valve timings. These engines rely heavily on clean oil of the correct viscosity as specified in the vehicle handbook and do not tolerate particles in the oil. Degraded, dirty engine oil containing sludge and swarf engine metal can cause the oil viscosity to go outside a narrow range programmed into the ECM; sensors detect the change in viscosity and trigger an engine management code, engine light and cause the engine to run erratically. For this reason, we DO NOT recommend adding RESTORE to the engine oil in any engine utilizing high pressure oil to regulate or actuate other engine functions. Please call our technical helpline on 01728 726620 for further information on how to treat these engines.
The modern Fiat 500 engines also react to the addition of RESTORE Engine Restorer to the engine oil and should not be treated with RESTORE.
I've used it works great! It's like the only special sauce that does
Dave James some say only use a bit in fresh oil and shake it up
Lucas oil STOP LEAK does also but it take a few thousand miles. And it lasts.Not the regular Lucas additive.
yes i agree!
30 psi compression is the same as dead , once I had 90psi when I should’ve have 184, and the engine was shaking like bad , it was a melted edge of an exhaust valve
So even with bent valves the product still worked?? I believe my tsx has bent valves in cylinder 1…
good job...
Thank you for watching!!
You should drive he car under load not just idle it...and yes restore works and works well. ..
thank you for the tip unfortunately I totaled the vehicle! :((
-- Yeah, this stuff really is a miracle in a can. 99.99999 percent of the time you're getting scammed. Never mind all the people on-line I've seen this work for. It's worked for me. Be interested in your results after 1k miles. Thumbs up.
thx for the video
Thank you brother glad you liked it
Great video my man, just poured a bottle in my engine and driving to Las Vegas(400 miles) week from now I'm really curious on my engines improvements, just one question are you using conventional or synthetic oil.
Im not sure what i was using i want ti say conventional.. this was a while back ..the results were good though!!
what was you results and what oil did you use ?
What about before and after compression test? Anything above 14psi difference from cyl. To cyl. Is considered abnormal, 225 psi might be too high for a none performance engine ? u may need higher octane gas ?
i bent some valves! ;(
I use it I know it works .my trucks run just fine but after watching project farms,,I have used it since,never ran a compression check,I can feel the dif.
Great job! So could you feel a difference in power and see a difference in fuel economy? With that much more compression.
Yes sir!!!
Thanks 👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
You got an intake manifold leak had that same problem if you change the spark plugs or injectors went bad cuz you got plenty of compression
I missed shifted !! I definitely bent a valve or needs new rings
thnx for the video. How long do let this stay in the engine for? And do add this on every oil change? Any reply will be appreciated.
You use it when you change the oil and leave it in till your next oil change. The directions says to use at every oil change.
Thnx. You know it tried this thing in my 195 thou mile suv, and it makes the engine sound when running, a little smoother, than before. So it is doing something good. I think, and hope, because,(BUT), i notice that the sound thru my MUFFLER HAS however, CHANGED ALSO. My fx35 sound is not sounding the same as the normal infiniti usually does. It sound different. The sound now is like its choking a bit, for a moment, then it goes away, especially if when you accelerate more a bit, i am not sure if this item has anything to do with that. Just putting it out there. @@marvinmurakami8828
Have a shot every time this guy says cylinder 4 was
120.
i had a few myself today !!jk cheers mate!thank you for watching!
The engine restorer didn’t give problems with the vvt VTEC?
Wondering the same thing
Only buy this from Walmart , cheapest on the market !
Awesome thank you!!
Its cheaper at Advanced auto parts than Walmart.
This didn't give you any problems with the VTEC?
Not at all!!
I'm guessing there is a gasket issue, as the variance between cylinders are HUGE. Good video
Bad rings
Spades.....you are clueless. Wow !!!!
Do I need to flash some oil before refilling or just fill all without flashing some oil? I got low compression on cylinder 4 too on my Honda
I poured once with 6 month old oil and it improved massively, engine knocking stopped and compression increased, Honda civic 2004 aut
@@eduardogamez2661 I have a 2010 Accord EX 4 cyl with the VTEC and VVT. Many comments say that Hondas with this motor shouldn't use Restore b/c it might clog some screen. But sounds like you had good sucess. My Accord w/120k miles is starting to burn some oil.
@@1Mannco hope I’m in time but my civic is not V-tec that’s why I did it but I wouldn’t with a V-Tec
@@eduardogamez2661 I haven't used it yet. I bought it at Walmart recently, also bought Lucas Heavy Duty oil additive which I bet now..isn't good either. Guess I'm going back to Walmart and try to get my money back.
I also have MMO for a while b/c I had an old Nissan truck but I haven't used that in the Accord, only a little in my gas tank. I guess I shouldn't use that either in the oil?
@@1Mannco no I don’t think you should, maybe there’s another product for those king of engines
Misfire from sparkplug or injector?
it ended up being a bent valve
I had low compression on one cylinder I had like 30 in cylinder 3 and my exhaust valve was chipped put the rest of the cylinder had 210
Yeaa thats what im thinking happened to mine as well !! I downshifted really nasty lol
I got a rebuilt cylinder head on the car runs really good now and no more misfires
josh rivera nice man glad u got it fixed ima builinf mine into a 3.5!! J35a4 crank and rods!! With high compression pistons from p2r racing..
White rice should improve performance,that fried rice gums up the rings.
Also, every 6 months change your coolant using high grade soy sauce
🙃 thank you guys!
Can I use this if my transmission going out
Noo sorry
Can it work on seized engine?
Highly doubt it
For sure! Add two bottles
Buy a new set of coil packs and you'll get rid of that misfire
i had bent a valve ..i bought new set of coils still have a misfire ! but i ended up wrecking it 2 months ago..:-//
i dropped one in didn't seem to work... would you recommend dropping another bottle in ?
What is your vehicle doing? Misfire?
@@MYKEYSAUTOMOTIVE low compression
@@JetBlackThreat could be damage valves or piston rings
@@MYKEYSAUTOMOTIVE so even dropping another bottle probably wouldnt help ? i need to pass smog
@@JetBlackThreat you tried replacing coils? Spark plugs?? Injectors?? Did you do leak test??
Excuse me if I don't believe you I want to see the cylinder being low first where I'm just not taking your word for it I've used the stuff and it's similar to snake oil
I actually show and measure the psi in each cylinder
Why don't people just use the plug boot to remove the loosened plugs ? Lol, it only is rite there, all the time and fits them perfect . I guess I'd rather work smarter not harder
I usually use a magnet makes it real easy
I keep about 5 small magnets on all of my cars under the hood so I can just clip it to my extension and pull them out.
that would be a great idea!
how did you fix the misfiring after all?
Its still misfiring i believe i bent some valves... bad shift..:((( im getting it rebuilt soon ...although compression did go up ..
MY KEYS AUTOMOTIVE I just used it fingers crossed.
Rashed Ahmed 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
The P0304 series usually implies a bad ignition coil. On newer cars, coils are often located at the end of the spark plug wire where it connects to the spark plug. On older cars the coils are located on the side of the engine and often control more than one cylinder. Also, it is not uncommon that when one coil misfires you will get codes thrown for additional coils. Best easy thing to do is to buy one coil, and systematically swap it out at each plug. You should notice a discernible improvement in your engine when you have found the bad coil. If this solves your problem, I recommend you buy all new coils because the others will probably begin to fail as well.
@@dantezarlenga6320 get a spark tester
Is your car iVTEC?
No its a 6 cylinder but it does engage vtech
Drop it in ? I'd feel better pouring it in.
thank you for watching!
I use it in my bmw 328ixdrive and check engine light get on trow code P052B
it's not going to fix a bent or clogged valve that's not seating properly
Thats correct
Ok., i added this stuff to my 1996 Mitsubishi L200 diesel. I did't perform any compression tests before adding, because i don't have a gauge. And even if i would have one it would't be that easy, due the labor intense to remove the injectors. But, i have driven the truck 100 miles already and i still see a lot of blow by. So what's the story now?
Ritesh Pahladsingh maybe you have really bad bent valves??
@@MYKEYSAUTOMOTIVE Ok. I have noticed that the engine cold start is a lot better. Without even glowing it, it just starts. With bent valves it should be impossible to start the engine. It's an interference engine. The blow by is only visible on hot engine. Should it dissapear gradually?
Ritesh Pahladsingh maybe a bad injector ..?? I would buy a compression gauge and try to see what cylinder is causing the blow by. Its impossible to diagnose the problem if you havnt singled out the bad cylnders.. by checking compression one by one..hope that helps!
@@MYKEYSAUTOMOTIVE I Will keep driving to see what's going on. I wil try one can, next oil change, SAE50 heavier oil for diesel.
Leak down test..
Change out that coil pack on that miss fire
DOESNT WORK I HAVE LOW COMPRESSION BAD PISTON RINGS
Cheaper at Walmart
Niceee ...yes i agree even the oil is way cheaper ...but i do like the points that earn you 20$ credit at autozone.
You did not bother telling us the model year off the Acura period that is useful information. Was it that VTEC engine Etc. These things are important in car videos. Thanks.

@@MYKEYSAUTOMOTIVE restore is not meant for VTech cars. If you had researched that, you would have known!. It actually harms VTEC engines.
doesnt matter got rid of the junk car
@@MYKEYSAUTOMOTIVE did it still run good with it in it tho
@@jayc3110 I guess I won't use it, just bought some. I have a 2010 Accord EX 4 cyl with the VTEC and VVT. Many comments say Hondas with this motor shouldn't use Restore b/c it might clog some screen. My Accoord w/120k miles is starting to burn some oil.
There is something wrong listening to the cranking sound.
A sudden increase in pressure can dissipate stress to weaker parts of a worn engine.
i agree!!
Engine is toast too much variation cylinder to cylinder
Piston rings??
MY KEYS AUTOMOTIVE it’ll still run like this for a long time
MY KEYS AUTOMOTIVE if you try a wet compression test you will find that in the cylinders with low compression the compression will raise this is how you know if the rings are toast or not
MY KEYS AUTOMOTIVE +1 if you keep driving with a misfire its gonna melt the cats
Meh. This stuff is magical. Had bad rings and magically i had good compression. Engine runs like a champ now lol
*Pffffft*
Yup
Read about what JESUS did this is mine blowing. Can you believe this, did you ever hear of this about HIM
Romans 10:5/10, c u there
$$🧐yeah...
Yes i love Jesus
Its called change ur plugs and wires genius lol..
Thank you
Plugs and wires have nothing to do with engine compression.
