I remember watching an old, really old informertial where they had a 300 6 ford on a trailer, to which they ran it like normal, then while it was running drained the oil, took off the valve cover and oil pan and it still ran. I think they even went as far as putting sand in the valve train...or something like that. Cant remember the product.

well if you think about it the amount of money for him to endorse it.

It cost the customer like $90k for a fully built stage 3 super snake...and they do quite a few of those.

I just happen to know a guy who has one. It is so fast. and he said there was at least half a dozen of them on the trailer that picked up his car.

I have used zMax before in a gas engine but not my diesel. I will say it did increase the mpg in the car and it did run better after an hour long drive after using it. It also idled better so it must of cleaned up the injectors and the combustion chamber.

I think it was called slick 50 when I was in high school in the 80s it works we drained a 5hp engine of oil and it ran all day without oil,there was no load on the engine.
