Hey everyone I have a 2001 galant 3.0 V6 version with 152 almost 153k miles on it and I have read some reviews on this restore Engine oil Additive some people are reporting that it really helps out with older cars and I'd like to keep my car running as long as possible. Have any of you used restore in your 8Gs or has anyone used it in general I'd love to hear from some galant owners who have used this product
Just posting here so I can follow this thread. I also want to keep my galant alive FOREVER
Ive used it a few times, years ago, but didnt really notice a difference, my motor has 207k on it now and still feels like its in its prime but ive used royal purple oil since then and it doesn't smoke other then when i pegg the rev limiter for a few seconds from time to time, but a motor is going to wear out and theres no stopping it, if your interested in using it, you should first look into what additives are used in the oil you run and see how much zinc and phosphorus is in it, then go from there.
I recently used the crc fuel System cleaner and noticed a difference my car warms up about twice as fast and my catalytic converter doesn't stink anymore haha nice cheap 17$ fix and the restore is cheap as well and since it's a engine oil Additive I thought it might be helpful but yeah not sure what oil is in my car currently but I will know when I change my oil which is also when most people say to use restoreQuote:

Well thanks for that tip I'll make sure to stay away from Castrol oil, I don't race my car lol is just my daily driver :)Quote:
