Z-Max?

I know I'm going to ignite a firestorm here, but, has anyone tried this engine (and trans and fuel) treatment? Does it work? I am skeptical about any kind of additive but just had to ask.

ZMAX is currently fighting off a class-action lawsuit because the government found out they fabricated their data. Evidently, ZMAX is just a super-lubricant. Makes everything more slippery, hence the gas mileage/performance increase. I'd just stick to changing the oil on a regular basis.

Z-Max?

Probably chlorine based like similar products. Yeah, it lubricates like crazy.... at the same time it slowly attacks and destroys the metal in the engine.
