Default Anyone Tried Zmax?

May sound silly, however they make some strong claims and interesting points on TV ? Would like to see real world use on our cars though. I have not heard anything bad about it? Think I may try some. My vette has over 150K miles! Still runs strong, passed emisions by a HUGE margine, and I tested compresion at about 170-180PSI per cycl. (good I think?).

Feedback wanted, I'm sure someone tried it? Also, I have been adding some bolt-ons now, just wondering how much longer she can go. I'd do anything to extend that further

More trash in a bottle. Stick with good oil and leave it alone.

I tried some in my garden tractor, since I have no freakin' clue about how often I should be changing its oil out. No noticeable difference. We'll see if that nasty ol' 15 HP Kohler falls apart in a year or two.

Put any in my Vette? NO FREAKIN' WAY! Nothin' but Mobil 1 for my baby. :nono:

Seems to have worked for you, though. Did you test compression before you added the ZMax?
