I've seen it used.

If you wanna know the difference with and without stare at a blank wall for an hour.. no difference.

I tried it in my old engine with reluctance. It really did reduce my oil consumption to 1/3rd what it had been. I can't speak to compression or power regained, as I never did any test to confirm, but my oil situation did improve. I calculated it saved me 4 to 7 dollars per oil change (I put in a 6 cylinder can every oil change) of Mobil 1. I was burning it at a pretty good rate though. If you have mild oil burning and don't get expensive synthetic oil, it'd probably be a waste of money.

Our '98 GP GTP was burning a quart every 3k miles, seems to have slowed down since we added the restore. She has 138K miles on her.
