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

Re: ZMax any good
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?

Re: ZMax any good
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.

Re: ZMax any good
From what I know " my test"
Air cooled, all aluminum Kolher v-twin 9??cc motor 27hp with oil filter and presserized oil system. Yup, lawn mower. Engine oil would go dark to black in 10hrs of service. After treatment the oil will stay clean/clear after a full season 115+ hrs. Is this good I still have not put it in a car.
