My brother used this stuff many years a go in an Austin Allegro & his oil pump seized.

Car Mechanics magazine also did a test in May 1993.. on An Austin 'O' Series engine, The product did increase compression by 4.4% and lower fuel consumption, But there was no follow up review as the oil pump also seized on that engine.

Mr Burnett, Who supplies this on Ebay says the product wasnt available in the UK in 1993, But i have proof. (Car Mechanics, May 1993).

Seems strange that retail stores no longer stock this product.

Me too. Leave it alone.

Hi, AMETECH RESTORE OIL was only introduced into the UK in November 2003. Thanks ametech@btopenworld.com

Tim Crux just sent us this email: Hi Dave, I thought you might be interested in my story. I own a Ford Galaxy TDi, 1999 vintage with 135,000 miles on clock. Over the last 6-9 months there has been a steady decline in performance, accompanied by an ever increasing amount of ‘smoking’ (blue exhaust smoke, indicative of unburned diesel). This got so bad that I was embarrassed to drive the car – when queuing in traffic this summer other drivers would be forced to wind up their windows to avoid being asphyxiated. After seeking professional advice, I took the car to a specialist fuel injection company. £450 later I had a Galaxy which went a lot faster (new Mass airflow sensor fitted) and smoked quite a bit less (timing was found to be 4.5 degrees retarded), but still sent plumes of blue smoke into the atmosphere on acceleration. The fuel injection guys could only suggest that compression (or lack of it) was the cause, but that was going to cost me another £150 to find out. When I asked how much the cure to compression problems was going to cost, their reply was £2 – 3,000!!! I took the car home in a pretty depressed state of mind, thinking that I had a more or less worthless piece of junk on my hands. Smoking as it was I was unlikely to be able to sell it, and was unsure if it would even pass a MOT emissions test. In desperation I searched the internet, and found a link to your eBay store. £27 later I had 500ml of Ametech, did an oil and filter change to which your product was added. The next day my wife and I left Essex for a short break in Cornwall. 200 miles into the journey we stopped for coffee at services. Upon restarting I noticed there was absolutely no sign of any smoking! 7 days and another 1,000 miles later, still no smoke. Galaxy goes like stink; its returning 46 mpg (never did better than 42 in previous 5 years of ownership) and still not a trace of any blue smoke no matter how hard I accelerate. I have to confess to originally being extremely sceptical to the claims made for your product, but it really does work!! I now have a car which should comfortably fetch me £4,000 on part exchange as opposed to a vehicle no one would touch with a bargepole.Thank you, and keep up the good work! Regards Tim Crux Dec 2nd 2005. Quentin Willson even talked with Tim and confirmed this story in his column in the Sunday Mirror. Quentin Willson also said that in his experience Ametech Restore is QUOTE "the only additive (he has) ever found to work." Sunday Mirror Page 56. Jan 8th 2006

Never used the product but heard about it and done a "Google " search a while ago. Conflicting reports from great to do not touch with a barge pole as it will ruin your engine. You pays your money and takes your chance , but I personally would not use unless it was the last resort and only option.

It's just an oil thickener. Good for used car salesmen to get the car out of the lot, but in the long run, like more than 30 minutes, all it does is reduce the oil flow to important areas and spaces with tight tolerances. It can reduce oil consumption a little by not letting as much past old rings and worn valve stems.

We could all make an informed decision if we knew what it was

Care to enlighten us by telling us the exact formulation? Then we can all decide whether we want it in our engines or not. :)

In my case its an engine that's specifically designed to use 5/30 oil, has a known track record (per Honest John) of wearing its main-bearings if you use thicker oil and presently contains an oil that meets the SL spec (containing zinc dialkylphosphate and several other trusted additives).

So, exactly what is it ??

Each can of RESTORE contains billions of micro-particles of the proprietary formula (Copper 60%, Lead 40%, Silver <1%) suspended in a high performance motor oil.

A 250ml can of Ametech will balance the compression across all the cylinders in a lumpy running new car. 250ml Restore has even been used successfully fto cure tappet (hydraulic valve lifter) noise on brand new V8 Range Rovers to avoid a GBP600 warranty repair. Normally Ametech is used on worn and smoky engines to bring them back from the near-dead to almost near new performance.

To answer your question about your X5, if your engine is running lumpy due to bad compression in one or two cylinders Restore will help. If your engine is burning oil due to wear, Restore will help. If your engine has broken piston rings or cracked pistons Restore will not help. thanks dave

[The Fool]

Before I take up your kind offer of a free sample could you answer the following questions:

1. What patent numbers cover the Resore proprietary CSL formula?
2. If by CLS you mean "crystal lattice structures" what evidence can you provide that shows that in a car it will fill in, and I quote from your site "grooves and other worn out areas between the piston and the cylinder wall in the engine."
3. What evidence can you provide to substantiate the claim that the billions of micro-particles of CLS the product contains also provides the maximum natural lubrication possible due to it's high lead content?
4. What evidence can you provide that, and I quote again from your site, that "the action of RESTORE" "rebuilds metal surfaces"?
5. What evidence do you have that a can of Ametech will balance the compression across all the cylinders in a lumpy running new car?
6. What evidence do you have to claim that if the instructions are followed and the correct type of engine oil is used RESTORE will repair ANY worn engine?
5. What qualifications did you gain when becoming a Mechanical Engineer, which professional bodies do you belong to and what 28 countries have you worked in as an engineer ?
6. Are you, or anyone connected with Restore, in any way at all, happen to know Quentin Willson?
7. Have you, or anyone connected with Restore in any way at all, ever entered an agreement with Quentin Willson to promote Restore?

Happy to talk with you over the phone (but not if your number withheld) or in person here in Suffolk or where-ever you live as I travel around the UK to the various car shows. You obviously know who i am but i haven't got a clue who you are, so why don't we start on a level playing field with formal introductions on both sides. thanks dave 07771 558800

[KevB]

97 Toyota Carina E 1.8 GS 5dr, 142k miles:
I drained the Magnatec and changed the filter and then put the RESTORE in with "normal" oil. I noticed that the fuel economy improved from the very first tank full. Where I was previously getting about 360-370 miles per tanks of unleaded, on the first tank full after starting to use RESTORE I managed 405 miles! This was an improvement back to the nearly-new consumption figures I obtained when I first purchased the vehicle back in '99.
I have since sold the vehicle, but I was impressed with the immediate improvement shown.
I will definitely consider RESTORE in the future.

hi

I have a peugeot 307 2.0 HDI 2001 model, with 95,000 miles on the clock, which i recently bought. The car is very smokey and idles very 'lumpy' when it is first started in the morning especially. However, once the engine is warm, there are no problems.

I have tried some of the normal 'stop smoke' treatments that you get from parts shops to add to oil and fuel, but they have only reduced the smoke very little. I have since been searching the internet for a solution to the problem, and came across this Amtech Engine Restore.

Having already tried a different oil additive (STP stop smoke), i wasn't too keen on spending 20pounds plus cost of oil change, unless i can be guaranteed it will stop the smoke. However i'll be happy to take up your offer of a free trial of this stuff and post the results on the forum, with before and after photos/ videos. My peugeot displays the MGP in real time, and so i can also post any improvement/ decline in fuel economy.

I want to make this an independant test for the forum, with photo evidence. I drive 50 miles a day and so should have the results within a few weeks. Please let me know if you would like me to carry out this trial.

thanks

I have just seen this forum and am interested to see how it goes. Did you take this forward? I have a 1965 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud that I think may benefit from this treatment but have been put off by some of the posts above. A new engine would cost a great deal of money so I am reluctant to use my car for the experiment unless Dave wants to guarantee it!

I look forward to seeing your results.

Hi there, no worries as the factory has an AEG insurance policy to replace or repair any engine damaged by our products. To date our claims experience in UK and all of Europe is nul point as they say in the song contest. ie no damage to any engine in 10 years in Europe and since Nov 2003 here in the UK, and no documented engine claims in the USA and Canada since 1985 and not a whiff of any bad legislation against RESTORE in hot spots like california and florida where earlier additives have been hit badly. so call 01394 675317 and get yr free can to trial for this forum. mention usedcarforum. thks dave 07771 558800 (NOTE: there is a requirement that you promise to provide documented before and after cylinder compression and emissions (MOT type) tests. hope this is ok?)

Hello,i have used this stuff with great success in a 1967 Fiat 500 the car had a tired engine,the engine was low on compression and was producing some levels of smoke when hot and left to tick over for a while,the performance was also down although it didn,t have alot in the first place,my girlfriend owned the car and asked if there was anything i could do to improve it,so not wanting the hassle of rebuilding the engine i thought i would try Ametech as a friend of mine had used it with positive results in a 4.6 PA38 range rover,so i changed the oil and added one 250ml can,initially there was no noticeable improvement,however after 200 miles my girlfriend who had no idea that i had added this stuff remarked on how the little fiat seemed to have more go and wasn,t producing any smoke at the lights when driving off she was thrilled to bits and was convinced i had secretly rebuilt the engine as a surprise,this provided me with many much needed browney points with limited financial outlay (RESULT)..I then drove the fiat myself and found there to be a definate improvement and i was surprised how much its performance increased,its acceleration was greatly improved as was its top speed increased from a thrashy 55 mph to a super smooth 70 mph,so i recon this stuff works,however the fiat is a very basic simple engine,on more modern sophisticated units it might be wise to seek further advice..happy driving al shepherd (chairman of the Fiat 500 enthusiasts club)
