Default oil additive-RESTORE- another BS product?

I've probably seen half a dozen advertisements for this product, in magazines, car and driver, etc, and elsewhere. Supposedly has some advanced formula that promotes better compression for higher mileage engines, which of course sounds great. They show "independent laboratory" test results, which of course look good, but is there any possible validity in such preposterous claims??

Thanks,

That magic ingredient is called CSL, Before I rebuilt my engine this was the only stuff that kept my compression numbers up. Definatly worth the 12 bucks.

i would never pour that sludge into your oil. if it supposedly fills in cylinder scores (>1oz.) where the hell is the rest of the can going....giving your engine a heart attack.

bryan, Porsche advises against oil additives. Frequent changes with a quality lubricant is all you need.
