BTW, I don't know about this restore stuff. I'm 3,200 miles into a trip to UT/CO. For the first 1,500 or so miles of mostly highway driving I was using about 1 quart of oil every 300 miles. I assume mostly due to blow-by based on what the underside of the vehicle looks like near the crankcase breather tube.

Since I was using so much oil I decided I'd put another 500ml can of engine restorer into it. My oil pressure dropped 8 psi at highway speeds. I got that stuff out of there ASAP and I'm back up to 30 - 32 psi at highway speeds.
