Default xMax products

Anyone have any experience with zMax products? Found lots of reviews online that lauded it as the only stuff that actually does something it says it does. I got a couple of packages that has fuel additive, oil additive, transmission additive, and small engine additive for $8 at a resale shop (unopened)


EDIT: zMax dangit!

At that price you really can't lose. Isn't that the stuff that touts "nanotechnology" and whatnot? Give it a shot and let us know what you think.

no experience with zMax, but I normally use BG products in my cars, especially BG44K for fuel system cleaner.

I recently bought a bottle of Liqui Moly Jectron from a specialty parts store on recommendation.

Added Half the bottle to 10 gallons of gas, don't really know if it made a difference as I wasn't having problems before I added it, but the car does purr nicely.

you can get it from amazon if you can't find a store that sells.
Amazon.com: Liqui Moly 2007 Jectron Gasoline Fuel Injection Cleaner - 300 ml: Automotive Amazon.com: Liqui Moly 2007 Jectron Gasoline Fuel Injection Cleaner - 300 ml: Automotive

They also have many other products for other cleaning functions.

These products are made in Germany.

Yeah, they claim it penetrates the metal surface to add antifriction additives.

I don't see how it could cause any harm so have at it. And at 8 bucks it wasn't too much of a gamble. I'll try most things to help keep mine plugging along except those additives that are super high viscosity, almost honey like. Also the ones with metallic flake floating in them, nah, no thanks.
