ENGINE RESTORER [100 MILES UPDATE] ACURA/HONDA 

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

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?

yes i love it!

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.

thank you for the tip unfortunately I totaled the vehicle! :((

Yes sir!!!

I missed shifted !! I definitely bent a valve or needs new rings

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 ?

Awesome thank you!!

Its cheaper at Advanced auto parts than Walmart.

Thank you for watching!!

i had a few myself today !!jk cheers mate!thank you for watching!

Also, every 6 months change your coolant using high grade soy sauce

🙃 thank you guys!

Bad rings

Spades.....you are clueless. Wow !!!!

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..

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

Thank you brother glad you liked it

Not at all!!

Wondering the same thing

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!

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 actually show and measure the psi in each cylinder

Thats correct

DOESNT WORK I HAVE LOW COMPRESSION BAD PISTON RINGS

i bent some valves! ;(

thank you for watching!

Noo sorry

@@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.

it ended up being a bent valve

Niceee ...yes i agree even the oil is way cheaper ...but i do like the points that earn you 20$ credit at autozone.

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

Highly doubt it

For sure! Add two bottles

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

i agree!!

No its a 6 cylinder but it does engage vtech

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??

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..

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.

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

Yup

Yes i love Jesus

Thank you

Plugs and wires have nothing to do with engine compression.
