I can only say empirically that the restore was the problem. I poured it in from a cold can into a cold engine and and only ran the engine for about a minute. The next morning it stalled when I drove it about 75 yards. My theory is that the screen on the VTC got clogged and only after driving it 15 miles did the hot oil remove what ever it was in the Restore that clogged the small screens. Well, I guess one would say if you use Restore always add it with the oil change. I added it 2 days after the change on a cold engine,from a cold can in a cold garage. But, the CRV runs fine now and I'm going to leave the Restore and the Mobil 1 in it for awhile. However, no more Restore for me. Thanks for all the replies. This is a interesting site with a lot of passionate oil gurus.
