Have Anyone Use This?
ANy of you guys used Z MAX? i talk to the customer support and they said that this is a petroleum based product and it should be helpful to rotaries on lubricating and sealing apex seals. Im just wondering is anyone tried it yet and if they have good results in gas mileage as well since it comes in 2 bottles. One for engine and the other one for the fuel sytem

According to the FTC, the CRC L38 test is a standard auto industry tool to measure the bearing corrosion protection properties of motor oils. In February/March 1997, an independent laboratory performed two CRC L38 tests of zMax for Speedway and Oil Chem. In those tests, motor oil treated with zMax produced more than twice as much bearing corrosion as motor oil alone. The complaint also states that the defendants fabricated one "report" from the two test reports, eliminating the bearing corrosion results and all other negative test results, and then used that report and the "official laboratory results" - similarly edited to remove detrimental data results - as sales tools in the infomercial and on the zMax Web site.

I don't think it will do any damage, esp only used once....I know some people pre-mix with the stuff and swear by MMO. Years ago Chris Ott at Rotary Performance recommended that I not use it b/c of the cleaning properties it possesses.....

I don't want to talk out of my *** here, so best to call chris to get the downlow. I would think that lubrication vs cleaning is what you want going on in a combustion chamber, though.

I was always told to you MMO once in a blue moon, for cleaning purposes. But some people here use it as they're premix only solution? To me that sounds crazy.
