I use zMax in mine. I can't complain at all. In fact I use the whole line of their products.

Don't forget Marvel Mystery Oil. It is great and is used just like Seafoam, Lucas, etc.

Kaboom how good is Zmax products? they featured the Zmax products on a Horsepower episode and it looked very interesting they had the CEO of Zmax demonstrate how this stuff works. At Checker Auto they have a kit which includes the Zmax products for oil, fuel, and transmission. This stuff does have a long history in the racing world long before it was sold to the public.

Transmaster I 've put that stuff in every fluid in the truck. I add it to the full synthetic oil I use also. I don't seem to have the noises I read about with piston slap and injectors. I used to use Rislone years ago to suppliment oil changes. It worked wonders on the wife's Vega the way it burned oil. I switched to a quart of auto trans fluid later. Did maintenance for a cab company.

Default Bad News on Zmax

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) won a law suit against Zmax for false advertising,

All I can say is I've seen an improvement. I will continue to use their products. Now as far as snake oil Lucas should be on the chopping block. I haven't heard or read of engine damage from zMax like I have from Lucas. I tried the fuel conditioner from Lucas and found it to be a waste of money.
