dagr8tsthustla,

ChrisK has it correct, AutoRx is probably your best choice. Neutra is also another good product.

I personally used Restore (due to lack of availability of the other two down here), and I could visibly see the slude in the oil pan after I used Restore for about a week (500 miles driving in my case). Just make sure to change the oil filter when you switch the oil (people forget), and you should be fine. I have used AutoRx in the States in an old MB 190e, and it worked like a charm when we switched her over to synthetic.

Alright guys, I just got a Neo Synthetic 5w-30 oil change in my 2003 Subaru Impreza yesterday. I've used Neo in my ES300 several times before, and immediately noticed changes in that car. This time around, this is what I noticed:

- quieter engine (the subaru boxer is quite loud)
- smoother revving and smoother engine
- possibly quicker revving?? (can't prove)


i don't know what Neo claims to do in its advertising, i'm about to find out. My subie has 7000 miles, by the way.

Synthetic is good! My car runs more smoother and you don't have to change your oil every 3K.
