Z-Max?

Since you guys were talking about infomercials I thought Id ask about one I saw over the weekend. They were hawking an engine additive called Zmax. At first I laughed at it as more Slick50, Prolong, etc. but then Carroll Shelby got on and started talking about how he adds it to his new concept car and all that. Was wondering if anyone has tried it?

Z-Max?

Lots of famous and otherwise credible people have endorsed snake oil in the past and will again in the future.

I've used z-max in my '94 Explorer w/120k. When I install it my engine "seems" to run quieter and smoother. I'm not sure if it's worth the 30$ price tag, tho.
