I wouldn't mix and match injector cleaners and other "cleaners" at the same time.

As for the 'restore', I wouldn't put it in my car. the stuff looks like sludge to me. If I CAN'T SEE thru it, it never sees the inside of my CC's crankcase.

I wouldn't mix cleaners in the tank you never know if they will react with each other. As for Restore I have run it in most of my high mileage vehicles and it has seemed to help a little to bring up compression levels but at 200k don't expect any miracles. If it is blowing oil by the seals it should help a bit but it is not a cure all for a tired motor.

Your link isn't working right now but if it's the same stuff I used, it's great I used it in my old tired engines and it helps with noise, oil consumption and power. I think ER is a fine oil additive but would only use it on tired old american iron.

It's in my:
80 Vette 96,000 mi
99 Bravada 106,000 mi
It's gone now my son's 98 S-10 2.2 104,000 mi.

I wouldn't use it in:
My son's 98 Jetta VR6 106,000 mi
My wife's 97 Audi A6 Q 115,000 mi
