Default RESTORE engine restorer

Just hit 75k miles on my 03 mustang 4.6L and thought of adding a can of RESTORE engine restorer just as a preventive maintenance. Should I add some in there with the next oil change?

No...if your engine is performing well just keep running good oil and avoid the snakeoils and all the BS they tout.

That RESTORE stuff is just really heavy weight oil that might stick into any grooves in your cylinder walls. Not worth the $9. You only have 75k, youll be alright

I've used it on a '92 F-150 with over 200,000 miles. I did notice an improvment with the vehicle. Has more get-up-and-go to it. But, that was at 200,000 miles.

I just decided to start running Mobile 1 synthetic instead. I have read nothing but good things about synthetic oils. Thanks for all the help guys
