I just watched shade tree mechanic,and Sam went to the z-max factory,just wondering if anyone uses or has used it,as and oil supplement whats your take on it??..
Shelby put it through serious tests and found it to be top notch with no residue after the fact.
I have used it in all my vehicles for the last 5 years and wouldn't be without it. I noticed a difference in the smoothness of the engine, and gained a little MPG....lots less friction.
We just put it in a friends slant 6 Volare wagon.....when you started it, you heard the usual dry bearing noises (not bad, just normal for old slants, but it makes you worry a bit).....after we put it in, there was a gradual improvement in the quietness of the engine, especially on start-up, and now, it's really smooth and quiet no matter how long it sits....as a matter of fact, I had to lower the idle speed.
That is NOT "snake oil"..........THAT, is scientifical factimication. :read2:
Good stuff. :blob:
your right i made a mistake , it is prolong.opps.that is the product i was using.sorry for the miss info.8)I've always known that there was a super lube product out there, because my nieghbor invested in a company in the eighties that had a product called "Protech". This guy drained the oil from his Ford Fiesta and ran the car for three months with just the product residue. The timing chain finally expanded and punched a hole in the water jacket killing the motor. This stuff was like the consistancy of mineral spirits. I don't know what happened to that product. I have tried several of the products out there,and the closest thing to it is "Prolong". I used it in my 86 318 Ram that had a lifter tick. The prolong stopped the tick permanently. Duralube is not the product, I've had no luck with it.
Whether or not someone says the same thing about Marvel Mystery Oil (which is little more than souped up tranny fluid) is irrelevant. As for Shelby, he does not need a "hand" to feed him......his days of needing cash were over long ago.... I would say his name is worth far more than any cash he may (or may not have) received from an endorsement.
There ARE people out there who actually test and prove certain products instead of just lying to everyone about it. Shelby is one of them.
And thank you for mentioning the Slick 50 phenomena....it works for a short time to reduce friction, then coats everything and causes more problems. AND, you NEVER use a friction additive during a BREAK IN.......the very term used for the 'time-period' in question should give someone a clue to that fact.
You can remain a pessimist all you care to, but you can't erase decades of proof, and years of successful use by the millions who swear by it (instead of AT it).
Z-Max works. Z-Max leaves no build-up or residue. It simply saves your large investment............By the way, it WILL shave some time off your ET's...........just make sure your rings have seated properly BEFORE ever using it.
(and NO.......I don't sell the stuff.......nothing to gain, except maybe to get someone else to enjoy it's benefits). :burnout:
