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.

Hope this helps...

 

damn good thing i wait until i put that nasty stuff in my car. thanks for the info guys. i'll use what everyone here seems to use. Marvel Oil Mystery hahahaha

 

baby oil?? HAHAHAHAHA

 

Don't use marvel mystery oil. Run synthetic motor oil, and if you want to premix do it with synthetic 2 stroke oil. That's it. Be careful what kind of stuff you throw in your engine Vonn

 

arrgg too late now i just added it in my car. well its running ok for now. i had castrol syntec 20-50 and added the marvel mystery oil. i'll just chance it sooner than i usually do. I usually put in royal purple 20-50. thanks for looking out.

 

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 thought thats why pple put it in there car in the first place to clean and lube it? Too much cleaning is not good for our FD's?

 

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.

 

has anyone tried the good ole slick 50? i've heard numerous personal stories about it on piston engines losing oil with this stuff in and no bearing damage. wonder if it would be worth a shot in a rotary application?

 

Slick 50 was sued, too. Don't waste money on snake oil.
