YOU MIGHT RUN SOME "MARVEL MYSTERY OIL" IN IT, TO MAYBE CLEAN UP YOUR RINGS, FOR ONE OIL CHANGE CYCLE. THIS PRODUCT CAN ALSO BE USED IN YOUR FUEL TOO.

THEN RUN EITHER ONE QUART OF "HIGH TACH" OR "LUCAS" OIL STABILIZER IN YOUR ENGINE THEREAFTER

BOTH RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD BE SUBSTITUTED FOR A QUART OF OIL. DO NOT OVERFILL YOUR CRANKCASE! READ THE LABELS FOR EACH PRODUCT.

No amount of additive will fix low compressions, this stuff is just a waste of time, you have to do the job correctly and do the re build.
