Nice work Columbo! I guess that's why they are on late at night. The old saying, "If it's too good to be true, it probably is." is still accurate and always will be.

From the FTC report:

"This case is the latest in a series of FTC law-enforcement initiatives targeting unsubstantiated claims made by auto additive manufacturers. The FTC previously halted allegedly deceptive advertising by the marketers of Dura Lube, Motor Up, Prolong, Valvoline, Slick 50, and STP, other major brands of engine treatment products."

Well, at least they're in good company.

Did you read the thread - it is mineral oil with pink dye - you could drink that and it wouldn't hurt, and keep you regular to boot! It won't harm, except your wallet and ego for gullibility - it just won't help.

I think it's been well covered, and about 150 years ago, this sh-t would have been known as "snake oil".
ZMAX=one incredibly expensive oil quart substitute!
