i've used the marvel mystery oil in all my vehicles,in the gas and the oil and the horsepower seems to increase immediately so it's doing something positive,i think it degunks or cleans out the varnish

Mavel Mystery oil is another real old additive. It also was around in the 50s-60s.

I tried Restore in my 85 Suburban and it definitely cut down on oil consumption. On a 1500 mile round trip to Mississippi I used 4 quarts of oil before I added it and on a second trip used just two.

I used Restore 4 on my old cavalier and felt no difference in performance or anything. I used Z Max and felt a pick-up in acceleration and it ran and shifted a little smoother.
Z max is nothing but dyed mineral oil and been proven to eat at your engine bearings.

I don't trust any of them.
