Hi,
Did anyone ever used this restore engine oil additive? What do you think about it? Did it have any affect on the performance and running of the engine? Does anyone advise using it?
Thanks in advance

    I would stay away from all oil additives. Volvo reccommends NOT using them for good reason. Many of the addative companies have been found liable for false claims in their advertising.

    What makes you think you need an addative? If there is a problem, a tune-up or repair may be in order.

    If your car is in good running order, don't put gunk in the engine. Switch to a full-synthetic oil if you want the most out of your engine.

    Like all the others, it's "snake oil" and doesn't really restore anything as that's simply not possible.
    Save you money for something worthwhile like Beer (for YOU that is) :)
