anyone ever try or use this stuff? Do you know if it would benefit or help the engines and the hyd cams?
or just a waste of money?

Personally I think it's just snake oil. We use it at work- one bottle works in the gas tank, p/s, trans, and crankcase.

Save your money, but if it's really burning a hole in your pocket use Marvel's Mystery Oil.


Got Mopar???

He's a saint compared to Burton Smith who owns ZMax.

Bruton Smith was on 'Two Guys Garage' yesterday touting how wonderful zMAX is.
Brian (maybe it's Bryan), Sam's newest co-host, didn't seem to thrilled during the interveiw.

The FTC charges against zMAX were settled back in 2003.
Anyone know of any independent test or comparasions done with zMAX?

Nope, don't use it. Amsoil products are the best out there as far as oil goes. Lucas Oil products are also good as far as an engine additive and fuel cleaners go. Berryman's has good products as well. Remember Carroll Shelby is getting paid big bucks to say Z-Max is a good product. Does it really help, no way Jose! Might as well put barf in your motor. LOL!!!!!!! Take care, Clint H.
