Cans bearing the RESTORE logo, but labelled '4 CYLINDER...6 CYLINDER....8 CYLINDER FORMULA' are produced in the USA and are blended specifically for engines produced in the US and Canada. The RESTORE Corporation do not authorize the sale of these cans in the UK and Europe and will not be held responsible for any warranty or guarantee claims resulting from the use of the USA Engine Restorer in vehicles and engines produced to EU specifications. Only the RESTORE Engine Restorer & Lubricant produced in the EU and distributed in the UK through Ametech has the full backing of the RESTORE corporation and their guarantee.

WHAT IS ENGINE RESTORER & Lubricant?

RESTORE Engine Restorer & Lubricant is a technical and metallurgical breakthrough, developed by an atomic physicist during the latter part of the 1970's and released onto the market in the USA in 1983. Since then it has sold over 150 million cans worldwide.

Engine Restorer works by repairing worn engines whilst they are running, preventing expensive downtime, delaying mechanical repairs and extending engine life. With regular use Engine Restorer restores whatever compression and power are lost and maintains the engine in top condition for 2 or 3 times its normal life.

Every vehicle's engine wears out as a result of friction during normal operation. This friction causes wear of the cylinder walls which leads to compression loss. Lost compression results in your engine having less power --- it runs poorly and has sluggish acceleration. It also can cause increased oil burning, exhaust smoking, and poor fuel economy.

RESTORE Engine Restorer and Lubricant is a unique engine additive that repairs those worn-out areas in the cylinder walls thereby restoring cylinder compression and improving engine performance to nearly new original condition. RESTORE is the only product that contains the proprietary CSL® formula. This technologically advanced formulation fills in and seals micro-leaks in the cylinder walls. The result is increased engine compression and more engine power. Independent lab tests prove that RESTORE really works to increase cylinder compression.

Inside each can of RESTORE Engine Restorer & Lubricant is a blue/green oil - a high performance neutral 30W oil containing detergents and corrosion inhibitors to clean and protect your engine - which holds in suspension millions of spherical CSL microparticles. Each CSL microparticle contains Lead (40%) dispersed uniformly throughout a Copper (60%) matrix with Silver (trace). These soft metals have been used in engine metal for over 100 years, so by using RESTORE you are not introducing any foreign substances to your engine.

It is important to note that RESTORE Engine Restorer & Lubricant does not modify the viscosity (thickness) or characteristics of the oil to which it is added and does not contain polytetraflouroethylene (PFTE or Teflon®), zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP), chlorinated paraffins or chlorinated hydrocarbons, napthalene, xylene, acetone, isopropanol, ceramic (asbestos) substances, sulphur compounds, or any other chemicals which could potentially harm your engine.

HOW RESTORE WORKS

RESTORE Engine Restorer and Lubricant is a unique engine additive that fills and seals microscopic leaks in cylinder walls. Each can of RESTORE contains millions of micro-particles of the proprietary formula CSL (Copper 60%, Lead 40%, Silver trace) suspended in a high performance motor oil. Engine Restorer & Lubricant containing CSL is added to the engine oil and is carried around the engine through the oilways. Wherever the Engine Restorer passes between two metal-on-metal friction producing surfaces, the friction forces the CSL particles into the sratches and groove caused by wear. Over the course of the next 1000 miles or so, the CSL microparticles fill, pack and seal the scratches, making the surfaces good again and restoring compression, power and fuel economy to the engine. In so doing, it alleviates and cures many of the usual symptoms of engine wear, such as blue smoke and high oil consumption.

Restore works to increase and balance compression across all cylinders which means a smoother running engine with more power, less oil burning and better fuel efficiency. RESTORE works effectively wherever friction and wear cuts scratches in reciprocating and rotating metal surfaces, such as cylinder walls, valve guides, bushings, bearings, hydraulic tappets and crankshaft. As a result, RESTORE has been known to cure noisy hydraulic tappets and even fledgling bottom-end knock.

Although RESTORE is added to the motor oil but it is not an oil additive. Why?
Simply, because an oil additive, by definition, is a product which is added to motor oil in the sump with the intended purpose of modifying the oil characteristics such as viscosity, detergency, foaming, etc ...
RESTORE is not an oil additive in this sense. It is rather an engine additive because it acts on the engine itself playing a double role :

• The CSL particles fill scratches, grooves and other worn out areas between friction-producing metal surfaces in the engine.
• The CSL particles provide maximum natural lubrication due to their high percentage of lead even under very high temperatures.

Using RESTORE Engine Restorer & Lubricant gives long-lasting benefits. The repair is 'semi-permanent' in that the particles become fused into the scratches by the dynamic action (friction and heat) of the engine and so become part of the metal surface that they have filled. They remain a part of the engine metal until worn away which, under normal driving conditions, would take about 10-12,000 miles of engine use. So, if you were to change your engine oil after 3000 miles, or even 6000 miles, you won't lose the benefits of the RESTORE treatment.

PLEASE NOTE as miraculous as its properties may seem, RESTORE cannot repair broken parts. RESTORE is not a quick-fix for mechanical problems such as bad timing, burnt or broken valves or rings, holed pistons, perished seals, cracked cylinders, glazed bores, cracked or warped heads or blown head gaskets etc. nor is it a substitute for regular maintenance i.e. oil and filter changes at the recommended intervals. RESTORE will not work in a sump full of black sludge blocking the oil pump pickup. RESTORE is a technological innovation that fights the aging effects of friction and wear. Please obtain a fault diagnosis from a motor technician if you have a problem that you are looking for RESTORE to fix before you commence a remetallizing treatment so that your expectations for RESTORE are not unrealistic.

HOW MUCH DO I NEED?

How much Restore oil to use will depend on the size of your engine or the volume of oil held in the sump. For a first time application we recommend 20-25% of RESTORE to each litre of engine size. For example a 1000cc vehicle you would need one 250ml can of RESTORE, for a 2 litre engine you would need two 250ml cans and for a 4-5 litre engine you would need one 1 litre can. If you don't know the engine capacity but know how much oil the engine holds, use 10% Engine Restorer by volume to the engine oil, e.g. a tractor holding 10 litres of RESTORE would need 1 litre of RESTORE added to 9 litres of engine oil to give you the total oil capacity of 10 litres. Subsequent applications should only need half of the initial dosage.

Ametech RESTORE Engine Restorer & Lubricant with CSL® is usually available in 3 cans sizes - 250ml, 400ml and 1 Litre. 

The following chart gives a good idea of the amount to use:

Add to clean engine oil in a clean engine (for best results, flush the engine first if necessary to remove sludge, gums and varnishes) and always fit a new filter. RESTORE is compatible with any standard mineral, semi-synthetic or synthetic motor oil, providing there are no friction-reducers (like chlorine, Teflon, PTFE or Moly) in the oil e.g. Slick 50, Prolong, Activ8, Motorup, STP and Wynn’s friction-reducers. Although RESTORE is compatible with the new range of ester based oils such as Castrol Magnatec, or racing oils like Silkolene R, these will slow down the Engine RESTORE treatment considerably as they contain positively charged particles which polarize metals and so prevent the CSL particles from adhering to the worn metal. If you have had friction-reducers or other oil additives in your engine recently, it’s best to flush the engine before using RESTORE. However, once RESTORE has worked its magic you can go back to your normal additive if you wish.
