Default RESTORE

I used the RESTORE oil product in my 1996 civic before i bought my s2k. It seemed to work well and i was wondering if anyone knew about using it in the s2k. It says its for cars with over 50,000 miles on it and my s2k has 54,000. Is is safe to use this in the s2k?

I don't use any oil additives, and will never bring anything near my valve cover except for full synthetic oil.

Yes. my S has 146000 miles on it. my compressions were175/165/155/135. i added a can of restore to my regular oil change. the next oil change, the compressions were 200 across the board. good stuff. also helped with oil burn.

I have used this product on a few cars we have owned, it works very well. We use it at every oil change on my wife's 90 Miata.

The product was tested by HOT ROD magazine a few years back on a Chevy Suburban with high miles. The before and after results were night and day. HOT ROD gave it a good recommendation

Or he could add a can of restore and get 200 across the board.
