You run it in your engine right before you change your oil to get the gunk out.

Ah, yes I failed to mention that I added it to the old oil, and ran it a little, then changed it. The next oil change I only left in there for 500 miles to make sure I got all of it out. I noticed no difference in power, although it did make my idle rough, and killed my mpg.

I used it before on a 22RE, and it seemed to work, but not on my 3VZE.

I dunno, I'm thinking it was just not the right thing for my engine.

A quart of ATF <<<<the cheap stuff<<< works good to loosen up the deposits on the rings, too.

here is a little history, gm used the word 'truck' quite extensively as a marketing item, they ended up dropping 'truck' as more females were buying the product and apparently, did not like the connotation that 'truck' made for them.

another area where women have unknowingly/wittingly effected change in society.


[QUOTE=ozziesironmanoffroad;51009917]also look at ford SUVs and Chevy SUVs... they say 'FORD TRUCK' or 'CHEVY TRUCK' something like that....

Some children seem to be more immune to the effects than others. There's always exceptions...

On the other hand, try living without TV or VG's for a while. You'd be surprised at the effect that will have.

That would be easy. Living without Yotatech would be some kind of evil torture though.

Iron Maiden anyone? (No, not the band....)

Toyota suffered it's first loss in 70 years this time around, they are lobbying to get included in the bail out......

On another note I got involved in the same sort of discussion with a friend that owns a 200? Rubicon. We haven't had a chance to test the Yota against the Jeep but I feel I'll do well...... I hope. Those things are monsters from the factory.

Engine Restor worked bad ass in my van, don't use any other product like that cause its not good for your engine, for your next three oil changes substitute a Eight Cylinder can for half a quart of oil.

if your truck is over 15 years old DONT USE THE RESTORE CRAP. i used it in my '88 dakota V6 once and had more leaks than i started out with. i used to only leak a quart every few months but after i used teh V6 restore fluid i leaked a quart every 2 weeks. so if you have high millage and a pre 90's truck do not use it.
