:dunno:Guys and Gals, I've used this product on my Acura integra and my oddessy and works good. I was wondering if i should start using this on both my Accords. My 8th gen has 8000 miles and my 7th gen has 15000 miles. Should i wait? Thanks in advanced.

isnt it WAY too early to start looking at engine cleaners?! with only 8000 miles you would be doing more harm than good. I see it being usable after your warranty has expired.

There is nothing for it to restore!!!!

Had an Integra GSR for 10 years and almost 200K miles, never put any snake oil like Engine Restore etc. in it, just regular oil changes.

There was no appreciable difference in power that I could notice the day I sold it as compared to the day I bought it.

So the pic shows "6-cylinder formula", do they have a 4 cylinder formula, and an 8, 10, and 12 cylinder formulas? What about for those Audi and Acura Vigor that have 5-cylinder engines?

:D

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!!!!!! That is a useful item for oil guzzling smoke belching old dawgs but has no place in your car.......other than the trunk maybe.

I tried this thing in my old Hyundai when the engine started loosing compression, at about 150,000 kms, and I noticed absolutely no improvement. I even measured the compression before and after several oil changes with the Restore additive, and there was no change. It's a waste of money, if you ask me. And in a new car you even risk doing more harm than good to it.

Buy a beer instead :naughty: Just don't drive after you drink it :lmao:

I think it works to restore compression only only in a very limited set of circumstances. If your valves seats are worn, etc, it will be completely useless. If your piston rings are stuck, it will still be useless (look at auto-rx to rectify this). If your piston rings are worn, but not stuck, it might help. Just do regular oil changes and you should be fine. Do the seafoam gas and head, but not oil treatment using every 60000 miles or so so maintain peak performance.
