Problem is, it's not a long term fix for a worn out motor.

Exactly, and unfortunately, too many unscrupulous sellers will dump a can of Restore in an engine in order to make it run and feel better to a prospective buyer without ever telling them about it.

Well i put it in today did 1/3 in each so far it idles smoother and doesn't feel as sluggish defiantly made a difference. Only smoked for the first 2 mins it was running and only a little as i was driving. After i was done i checked the oil it didn't look real dirty so should i keep driving with it another 60 miles or change very soon only been 40 miles?

as far as gas treatments are concerned, I like Redline fuel system cleaner. Works for me.

I thought they usually recommend that you drive like 300 miles with it in the oil. I never really saw that big of a difference when I used it in the motor. Was the smoke white at first or was it blackish? were you using seafoam, or the MOPAR brand?


This is what mine looked like when I did it on Thursday, or Friday... (been a long week can't remember much...)

Oh and if some of you are tracking down an exhaust leak, using this stuff is one of the best ways to find it.
