Hey I just bought that stuff. I'm gonna get an oil change first then pour it in while running. Let's see if you can hear it get quiet. You know I thought you can only get that thru order, so I waited like 2 weeks. then I went to Hi/LO to get something and they had a shelf full of the same stuff in the same package. I felt stupid cuz I get a shop discount and paid full price for it. But if it works I'll be glad I bought it. specially if I start spraying again.

Mechanics in a bottle? Nah, I wouldn't use any of that stuff. Do regular maintenence to your Max and your fine. Just my opinion though.

I just put it in, hoping it would kill the smoke I get every once in awhile on startup. I've only done the oil and transmission parts though, I'm waiting till the gas gauge drops a little before I do the fuel treatment. I almost ordered it from the infomercial, but then I found out that every auto parts store around has it for the same price, w/o shipping. I've only driven about 30 miles since I put it in, but the car seems a little smoother.

Make sure after you put it you drain your oil out and drive around the city for 4 hours. Then take off your valve covers off and pour in some sand and then spray it with a fire hose while running. Then get a nascar driver to take it around a high speed oval without any oil in 110 degree heat while towing a semi-truck.

Let me know how your Max runs with no oil.
I'll do the sand in the valve cover.
Hehe.

Another ZMax sucker here. Infomercial sounded good to me too. Running for 3 months - no probs. No change in milage but who can get a good average while running Solo's anyway.
