Yes, while some posters may have personal experiences/testaments on this product, the way I see it is that granted that your engine is in good working order then there's absolutely no need to consider the use of such substance in your engine, period.

This is not a matter of whether this is useful in your case or not, it's a matter of challenging the validity/value of some of these off-da-shelf add-ons that may otherwise provide very little to no conceivable values to the general public.

Also: whoever has positive experience with such product please stand up: we need a headcount on this and try to run a rough mental statistics to see statistically, how well such product fairs out there in this world.

The 'CSL' in Restore is small, soft particles of Copper, Silver, and Lead. It is supposed to 'bake' to the cylinder walls during engine operation and seal the rings better. I have read a fair few accounts that in very badly worn out old engines, it DOES make them run better, and reduce oil consumption.

If your engine is very, very worn out, it MIGHT help you get some more life out of it. If your engine runs fairly well, it will most likely do nothing.

Friends and I have used it in the past on older worn out engines with varying success. Worked on some to reduce oil consumption and improve overall performance while it did nothing on others whatsoever.

I filled up the crankcase in my B&S lawnmower right before I was ready to toss it. 100% Restore no motor oil. That was 2 years ago and it still runs. Easier to start since it did raise the compression. When it quits it is history.

Can't help but wonder if it works better on a scored cylinder wall VS a smoothly glazed one. I wonder if that is the main reason it 'works' on some engines but not on others?

I tried it on my Honda Accord when it was burning oil and saw no difference whatsoever....
