I've been using this product about every 6 months for the past few years (as recommended by the directions). Since I get my oil changed about every 6 months (full synthetic oil and filter), I usually add this product to my car at the same time I change the oil or within a few days after changing the oil. It's just more convienent to schedule both together.

While it helps regardless of mileage or age of vehicle, the sooner you start using it on a consistant basis, the better results you'll get from it. It's designed to be used as a preventitive measure, not to fix what's already been damaged or worn.

I saw ZMaxx on Power Block TV & was quite interested in it. They had some pretty good claims, so I figured after some research it was safe. Within a few hours of use, I saw increased mileage gains, smoother idles & increased performance. I know this may seem a little far fetched, but I saw a 30% increase in gas mileage in just one tank of gas. I would feel safe using this in not only my custom cars, but in my daily driver Hybrid which is still under Lexus's warranty. I was a Lucas product user for many years and even though I feel their products are great, I feel the ZMaxx is head & shoulders above them.

I have used this product for many years in several different types of vehicles with no issues. I also plan to incorporate using the product in my other gas engines, to include a zero turn mower, UTV, brush mower, firewood splitter and other hard working yard engines. I subscribe to the belief that the viscosity improves and wear is reduced with use of this product. I have had no problems with engines in my Yukon Denali, two BMW M3s, Pantera GTS, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ford F-250 diesel. I give partial credit to Z-Max.

Let me just say this; I do NOT believe in additives!  That said this stuff works.  The first time I used ZMAX it was in a 2000 Dodge Intrepid.  The car would not stay running.  I put ZMAX in with the oil drove on the hi way @ 20 miles.  I was use to driving the car left foot brake style just to keep it running. After the 20 mile trip I no longer had to drive that way.  It ran great.  I have had more success with ZMAX but no more room here.

I use this about every 50,000 miles on my 1994 Astro Van. I purchased used at 100k ... it now has 276k. A year ago my wife was using it and failed to see it overheat, so bad it burned the sensor, so she could not see after that. It clunked to a stop. Blew a hole in the radiator, replaced upper hose, water pump, sensor, changed the oil (fram filter was burn't white), changed spark plugs (all hand loose). The only thing I know is that it was still lubricated even under this tremendous heat. The $90+ I have spent on this product so far saved me a motor, there is no doubt. Getting ready to buy another treament before the 300K mark. Thanks Z-Max ...

I have used this in the past so I knew what I was getting.

To the guy with the Mini cooper. I can pretty much guarantee that when you put zmax in the crankcase, it overfilled it. It is not zmax's fault in product, it is your fault that you didnt pay attention to your oil level in the crankcase. Also, its very possible that your oil filter was complete garbage, since it is a known fact that poor quality oil filters will burst under pressure due to thin metal casings and poor oil inlets. Furthermore, I believe that if you think a microlubricant can eat through a rubber seal, you should not be anywhere near a vehicle. By the way, zmax is an awesome product, and i would recommend it to anyone who knows what they're doing.

Approximately 30 miles after adding ZMax engine lubricant to the crankcase of my 2007 MINI Cooper S engine oil blew out of the oil filter seal under great pressure coating the engine bay , underside, wheels, brakes, and boot of the car. The oil had been changed three days prior and there had been no leakage at all from any areas. I assume the ZMax micro lube penetrated through the seals under pressure resulting in the catastrophe. Had to have a flat bed take my car to dealer 60 miles away to sort it out. [$] later I'm back on the road and can say without hesitation that I will NEVER use this product again.

I've been using this stuff for a long time and if you read carefully there is a warranty on certain components on your vehicle that are affected if you use it correctly.
