In my opinion, I wouldn't use it.

Here is a pretty neat web page.

I am not sure how accurate the information is, but it does seem to be legitimate.

I have a friend who is the president of Tribotech Inc., the people who make the oil additive. He says Z-Maxx is nothing but colored mineral oil. I guess everybody in the "oil additive" industry knows what the other guy is selling. Sort of like Pepsi knows the formula for Coke.

That's what he says and I have no reason to doubt him nor any proof of what he says either. I do use Tribotech IJP additive in my Mobil 1 though.
