Default Zmax, Input wanted.

Ive heard alot about zmax. Im just wondering if it really works or not? If so should i get the starter kit with the engine additive and the fuel additive. Or just one or the other?

Thanks.

probably not, a liquid will really not do anything but clean, which is why you change your oil (i assume at least)

The only "additive" I use is seafoam every now and then. Best stuff out there for cleaning your fuel system and removing carbon buildup.

Alot of additives are nothing but gimmics. If it advertises that it renews/restores/adds anything its a load of crap IMO.

I would have to disagree. I used the Prestone Additives. I used the one for the oil and I used the ones for fuel cleaner(they have 3 kinds of them I used them all in a cycle). After just 2 weeks I had increased my MPG by over 2MPG.

Later after I had changed the oil, I repeated the process once more, The one in the oil, And the others in the gas(1 at each fill up) and increases my MPG by 1 more.

I had mixed the ZMAX stuff in the mix in the begging too, But I cant tell you how much it helped alone though.

But I would have to say that after I had did all this aside from the MPG increase I had a bit more pep back in the car too.

ZMAX no you dont have to change your oil.. Its supposed to last through oil changes(ZMAX at least, its states it on box).

I cant guaranty you will get the same results though LOL
