Anyone used Zmax, what were the results. Do you like both treatments
(oil and fuel)

A few years back zmax was being sued by FTC. At the time FTC claimed use of zmax actually accelerated bearing corrosion.

I do not know the final outcome.

I have to guess nothing happend yet since its still for sale 8 years later but who knows maybe they had to change the claims and they still sell it?

I looked at it and for over $30 for 2 bottles of mystery oill I passed

Being an engine builder I can honestly say I have no clue . Have never heard anything about it one way or the other. Like Johnny I chalk it up to 'Snake Oil', but the fact they are the title sponsor to ZMax dragway had to have taken some dough, so I wonder? Do they sell a ton to guys that don't know or guys that do?

I know I tried to figure some of those "snake oil" claims out by doing some reading over at Bob the Oil Guy's forum.....man I just don't know as some of the threads over there are fairly involved and there seems to be no simple answers in any of them. Or, maybe the answers are there and I just don't get it!

I just figure that if you stick to reasonable oil & filter change intervals, and use good oil & filters, you're doing as much as you can do...I try to keep in mind what kind of driving cycles I'm doing so I can figure if I'm in "normal usage" or if I'm getting into the "severe use" zone, and I adjust my change intervals accordingly.
