zmax?

[Blubird]

i keep seeing the commercials for it, anyone use it before ?

I have heard that yes it does what it says and penetrates the metal, but what do you think it does to the strength of that metal?

Most of the time when you saturate something, it becomes weaker

[Blubird]

yeah and i seen them say you can add it to the oil or fuel, but it looked almost like water, and if you add it to the oil its just gonna make the oil thinner and change the viscosity

[Z28pr0jekt]

Yea I just don't trust stuff like that, personally I wouldn't want something seeping into my block and pistons, it would add weight to the rotating assembly and such.

The only reason these shows endorse it is because they are paying the show to advertise.

but carol shelby says he puts it in all his cars,so its gotta be good stuff /sarcasm

[Z28pr0jekt]

LOL I think if he really does that and true automotive enthusiasts know it, he's going to be losing some business

I use it and picked up 5 tenths in the 1/4 mile.





j/k. The only additive I use is Lucas Oil additive to prevent dry startups, but a lot of people are against that stuff to.

that Zmax is crap, When I worked at Pepboys I use to hawk it.

I think its just a teflon additive

I think I remember reading somewhere that if you added it to your oil and then ran the oil for more than like 4000 miles that the zmax turns into a flaky white material in your oil and gums up all sorts of stuff and is bad news.

honestly I wouldnt add anything like that unless your motor is close to pushing daisies, and even then I would just put some stop leak in there, its cheaper
