Restore is not thick at all. Probably no thicker than 5W30. I have used it in some old junkers and it is actually one of the few additives that work. You can tell a difference, but mainly on a worn out engine and you have to use it every oil change. Alot of those additives are snake oil though.

no, if your engine is real old it will work but if you want it to keep working you have to use it every oil change....if he wants to do additives and stuff without your knowledge only let him run seafoam...
