Engine Oil for "High Mileage" vehicles
 

What's everyone's take on these oils? are they worth the 50% more? Do the
"conditioners" in them work?

They're marketing --------. Just change the oil, use whatever the mfr
recommends and have the thing overhauled if it's shot. There is no silver
bullet, and certainly no magic oil for an old timer, particularly a worn out
pile of scrap.

I am not convinced. Just another way to get unsuspecting dudes to cough up
a couple of extra bucks. Use a high quality motor oil (Valvoline, Pennz,
etc) and call it good.

Actually I used some "Restore" on my old POS chevy that was sucking oil
around several pistons. Acutally brought back power and kept it running
fairly good for about five years. Then I sold it. Not to suggest using the
stuff on a modern engine by my results were fairly good.

Needless to say it brings back power by cloging the rings with crap.
But at the time I had money for a can, not an overhaul. :)
