Carroll Shelby, Automotive Hall of Fame and Racing Legend
”I’ve built over 100 different kinds of cars… Shelby Cobra, over 20,000 Shelby Mustang, the Viper…at 77, I wanted to see if I could build another good automobile like the Cobra. I call the car the Series One. We’re putting zMAX in each and every one that leave the factory. It penetrates the metal, decreases the friction, cleans the carbon residue out of the engine. Therefore it gives you a more efficient engine and a lot more durability. I’ve got my reputation to protect and I wouldn’t recommend zMAX unless I knew it worked.”

Liam wanted zMAX for his car this morning too! Guess it's obvious that it's good stuff!
I use your product religiously and would like to display my appreciation. From the first time I used your oil/fuel additives, I immediately felt the change in both fuel consumption & oil treatment. Immediately after using, my Jeep felt as if I had a 40 mph tail wind behind me! Idle was smooth, mpg were extended. I'm on my 5th treatment and tell friends what a difference Zmax makes.
Thanks,

Hello, I just want to give you all a great big THANK YOU, I have been a zMAX user since around 1997?. I first saw a TV infomercial, so I ordered. It was funny actually. I received the engine oil and fuel additives, and also small bottle for small engine oil, I put bottle of additive in my small air compressor, the next morning I found a puddle of oil under compressor, but the engine oil is still inside of engine, I found the drain plug was just loose enough to let fine zMAX out, but tight enough to keep engine oil in.
That was when I was a true believer in your product, I have been using zMAX in every vehicle I have owned since then. And My nephew has grown up with me has been using zMAX in his vehicles since he started driving.
I received a check from you back in 99 or 2000, from a lawsuit, I do not know what it was about. But I took the money, and spent it on zMAX for my vehicle at that time, and just what you to know, I am still a user of zMAX.
Thank You, I am so happy to see your product name on SPEED channel on Monsterjam and on Passtime, I sure am glad to see you support such programs.
Thanks again Kevin

When I bought my 2007 Shelby GT, Old Carrol said I should use Z Max. I
tried it once @ 30,000 & was very impressed but decided I did not need
it for every oil change. I didn't use it again until 45000, but now I'm
absolutely convinced that it makes a tremendous difference in how the
engine runs. The oil treatment alone is worth the cost & I will not
change oil again w/o Z Max. The smoothness and response is amazing. It's
as good as advertised and more. I can tell the difference immediately.
Thanks,

I am a retired aviator. I have used your product religiously from the time of my military career began and to this day. I had a 99 Jeep Cherokee and I was fishing in Freeport TX about 60 miles from my home. I ran over a piece if angle iron and ripped a 7.5 inch gash in my oil pan. It was about 3:00 am and I decided to try to get as far as I could before calling a tow truck. I never made the call and made it home. Had I not been running your product the motor would have seized within minutes. It makes me laugh when I see the dura-lube and Slick 50 ads running a water hose over an open engine and claiming it is the product. I race cars and tried to get the guy putting on a show at the track one day to stop the water and see how long it would run and was asked to leave. Your product works and has gotten me home in more than my Jeep for what it's worth.

Just a quick note, telling you that your product is amazing!!! I have an '01 Mustang, and I noticed a difference almost right away, once I started using zMAX. I use it regularity, in my oil and fuel. I stand behind your product, recommending it to any other members of the Canadian Military I see. Just to let you know, our mechanics are using it in our vehicles overseas in Afghanistan, where I was for the last 6 months. We all seem to agree. It works!!!

I'm the original owner of a 1996 Trans Am WS6 Harley Davidson Edition, with 27,000 miles. I've been keeping track of my gas mileage from "Day One". I purchased the car with 102 miles on the odometer from a Pontiac dealer in Culver City, CA. I've used it sparingly for around town and to and from work driving. Most of the miles are from "Road Trips" to Las Vegas, Laughlin, NV and Bend, OR. And now, since retiring to southern Alabama, a few trips to the Chicago area. Now you have the background of the car's road usage.
When I purchased the car I changed the air filter to a K&N and installed a B&M Ripper shifter, with a shorter throw. I've also used Mobile 1 from about 6,000 miles. At first I got 9-10 MPG in town, you know "Los Angeles traffic sucks", and on the first trips we got between 19 & 23 MPG. As the mileage on the car increased, of course so did the gas mileage, and the best ever was 26.25 MPG after the addition of the K&N filter.
This year, May 2009, I went to the Chicago area to visit my children and grandchildren. Before the trip I had the oil changed, and after seeing a zMax commercial I thought I'd give it a try. I bought it at my local "Advanced Auto Parts" store. With some city and some highway driving on the first tank of gas I got 26.01 MPG, a bit of a surprise, as I figured it would be closer to 20 to 22 MPG. The next tank after 333.5 miles and some stop and go due to road construction was 26.68 MPG. Then to my amazement at 357 miles 29.26 MPG. WOW !! A performance Automobile and this kind of mileage!! With the traffic and construction in and around the Chicago area my next tank was only 20.5 MPG with 280.2 Miles on that tank of gas. As the return trip to Alabama progressed and another 395 miles I got 28.21 MPG. My last tank on the road was an even bigger surprise at 29.56 MPG.
I've been a professional Mechanic for over 40 years and have used other oil additives, but none with the same kind of results as zMAX, this is great stuff! I DO BELIEVE IN zMAX!! We'll be using it in all of our vehicles in the future!
My car's thank you and I thank you,

I used it on my mustang with 50K miles and before I used it I noticed that my valve train had a yellowish tint on the metal surfaces and after a did a zMAX it cleaned everything up and made it look so shiny and new I was amazed. I will be using it in all my 4 vehicles every 6K miles.

Three years ago I bought a used 2003 Mitt.Lancer ES with just under 60k on it. I was averaging around 25-26 mpg. I have done/bought a few things to the car (K&N air filter, E3 spark plugs, and changed to Royal Purple oil) and all of these combined has increased my horsepower and mpg. The first time that I used your product-WOW! I noticed a difference in the horsepower/pickup of my car. Without the zMAX (and having done the above) I went to 30 mpg, but ever since using zMAX, I am now averaging just under 35 mpg!!. The car just recently turned 100k and is so smooth. In the past, I had tried those so called oil treatments (slick50,Duralube) and they did nothing like what zMAX has done. I will continue to use your product and I am always recommending it to my friends/relatives. Keep up the good work.

The company I work for purchased a 1995 Ford Ranger pick-up several years ago with 84,000 miles on it.
I use synthetic oil and service it every 5-to-6,000 miles and add zMAX engine and fuel treatment every oil change.
As of this date the truck has 300,400 miles on the odometer. What more proof do you need than this mileage success I've had with my truck by using zMAX.

Hi , My name is R. Holland. I have a 493 stroked big block Mopar with
a F1 ProCharger 1100 HP. I have 7 broken pistons due to poor design, valve notch too close to ring land. I use zMAX and believe it or not
the pistons walls look great. It's going to cost me $1700 to get this
back together, but that is better than
$5000 had I not used zMAX.

Recently, I bought a Nissan 93 Pickup with 38,000 miles. After the initial driving period of 5 days, the valve started to knock. The knock was so loud that I thought I bought a diesel! I had a neighbor listen to my engine and he said, ” Do an oil change and go buy zMAX! I was disbelieving because I have never been a big believer in those types of products.
I have been very religious with my other vehicles. Changing oil every 3,000 miles. One car went 320,000, the other 280,000, and my current one is 74,000 with no problems.
I changed the oil in my truck and added zMAX. I took the car for a drive for 20 minutes, returned home, and still had the knock. I was thinking that I wasted money again on another miracle product. So I went to bed. I drove the truck to work the next day thinking about the upcoming valve job I would be paying for. Then, about half way to work, my noise stopped. I was amazed! I pulled over, revved the engine and no noise! It has been 3 days later and no noise. I am very impressed and have also noticed a big difference with the performance of my truck! With this increased performance, it feels like a brand new engine!
Thank you, for making this product available to the common folk! I love this product and I will keep using it! I have referred 5 people and after reading the web site, I will be referring everyone I come in contact with. I am very excited to go buy another package to use with my other vehicle.
Also, if you have a need for outside sales reps, I would love to work for a company that makes an amazing product! Attached is my resume. Please forward this on to the right people!
Thank you,
Robert Case
We own a 1990 Nissan Pathfinder with 166,000 miles and a 1988 Ford F-150 Pickup with 153,000 miles. I began using zMAX about 6,000 miles ago on both vehicles and I must say the results were dramatic. The Pathfinder went immediately to 22.5 mpg and the truck is up to almost 14 mpg.
The most amazing thing though is the increase in power that was also almost immediate. We live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California and the uphill driving power improvement is the most noticeable. To get to our home from the Central Valley of California is a long uphill climb, and the Pathfinder now makes the grade without downshifting to 2nd at all. This has not happened in years!
Both vehicles run like they had 15,000 miles on them, not over 150,000.
I can only imagine the fuel savings this country would enjoy if every car in our category used your product. I recommend it to everyone I know. Thank you from a VERY satisfied customer.

“I’ve been an aircraft mechanic for 12 years. We used to rebuild piston engines. We used this product called AVBLEND with LinKite and it kept the cylinder walls so clean you couldn’t believe it When I found out the zMAX had the LinKite formula in it, I had to have it. I put it in my truck. It increased my gas mileage, smoothed out all the rough ends in my tranny. And when I was four wheeling the power was right there. It’s a phenomenal product.”

I have been using your product on my 2001 PT Cruiser for the last 8½ years. I bought this car new in 2000.
Every 6000 miles I use the engine additive and the fuel additive as directed. This morning I just broke 268,000 miles.
Clearly this product works. I was raised believing that if you take care of your body it will take care of you. With zMAX its easy to take care of your car so it takes care of you.

Long Island, NYI have a 1992 Jeep Wrangler that I use for off roading and around town driving.
I saw a TV commercial about zMAX and was a little skeptical, but since my Jeep has over 250,000 miles on her, I figured I would give zMAX a shot. I went down to the local auto store today and bought the zMAX treatments for the fuel system and the engine. I put them both in while still in the parking lot.....I noticed almost an immediate difference at idle, and it was driving much smoother within 10 miles or so.
I can't believe the stuff really work!
Thanks!

I recently put the zMAX treatment in my van. The van has a 6.0 litre gas engine the unit is 3500 long wheelbase. I travel approx 6500 kms per month. I travel the province of BC with all the long hills, I carry heavy weights with this unit to max gvw.Since putting your product in I gained approx 35-40 extra kms per tank, the engine performance is excellent. When passing a b-train semi loaded up with my products the van performs like its half empty. I thought this was BS but MR SHELBY recommended it that was good enough for me. WELL HE WAS RIGHT.
Keep up the good work
Love your products

Testing Experts
zMAX scientific testing summaries were produced by petrochemical and oil industry experts Maurice LePera and Gerald Keller. Additional input was provided by Oil-Chem Research Corporation’s Ed Rachanski, Sr., James Klepal, and Bob Ziomek.
The tests conducted on zMAX are based on the accepted protocols as directed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM). zMAX requires a “soak in” period in order to achieve maximum benefit, therefore, when necessary, the protocols have been modified only to include a “soak in” period for zMAX. The results of these tests show that zMAX soaks into metal; reduces friction; increases horsepower; dissipates engine heat; helps improve or restore gas mileage and reduce emissions in older cars, by virtue of reducing engine deposits; helps maintain gas mileage and emissions in newer cars, by virtue of reducing engine deposits; helps reduce engine wear on vital engine parts, by virtue of reducing engine deposits; and helps to extend engine life, by virtue of reducing engine deposits.
