"Z-Max" Is it any Good??

Has anyone tried this stuff?

Saw it at PEP BOYS. For those that don't know, its three different additives. One for the gas tank, crank case, and transmission.

Given the volatility of our trannies I would be a little nervous about adding anything foreign to that one.

McChicken. HAHA. I heard that they were getting sued for being a sham. I tried it in my old car and never noticed any difference. I think its a sham like most things.

I learned a lesson... "sushi" and "affordable meal" does not go well in the same sentence.

Similarly, Mystery Oil that bonds to the metal at the microscopic level can't be a good thing... man oil do lubricate the engine not stick to it!
