and all of a sudden they have dramatically improved on something that has been, if you think about it, relatively unchanged since it's creation?
Are you saying zmax is new?

oh geez. i doubt this product is a snake oil. it probably does work . after all synthetic oil works better then dyno oil due to smaller molicules. zMAX has gone smaller yet and enlisted the honey i shrunk the kids scientists to make there molicules even smaller so that it can ineffect soak into metal which is actually possible.

Look at metal under a microscope. It is porous, and I dont see this product being that far fetched.
But WAIT!!!!! It's Backed by Carrol Shelby!!!!!
Did you search for Zmax just to defend the product in an old discussion? Or did you have something useful to add?
I asked a question, and I still have no answer. Maybe you bought ZMAX and now you want to justify the $50 for $3 worth of mineral oil, so you did a search and are now upset that people were knocking on it 2 years ago. Maybe you found some new research since the last time the thread was active about how ZMAX gets into your porous metal surfaces. But I can't read minds, so I asked.Not as useless as your addition to the thread.

Since Stangnet is the spoon-feeding capital of Mustang-land and I'm feeling generous, here's a bone for you.

Read it all, including all the external links cited, and see why crap threads like this don't need to exist. F-ing infomercials.
All right, metal does have microscopic texture (known as surface finish) on its surface that could allow small molecules "in". People who do stamp and die work even rely on the surface finish of their tooling to retain oil in the working parts. Some castings have porosity, but that's hardly a uniform thing you can count on to give a certain gain when this stuff "soaks in". The stuff surely doesn't soak all through a metal part as if it were a sponge.
There are some things that work but people don't really understand them. Some people say that Slick 50 is snake oil - and it probably is. I've put it in several of my cars and not had negative consequences. I have a '92 F-150 that has 209k miles on it. About 7 or 8 years ago it had a bad pan gasket leak and long story short my ex ran it completely out of oil at least twice that I know of. I've never touched the motor (other than replacing the pan gasket) and it doesn't burn oil in city driving. Why does it still run and work so well? Did Slick 50 help? I don't know, but having put Slick 50 in that motor - I know it didn't damage the motor. That's for sure.
I have no idea if this stuff works, but I wouldn't say it's impossible.
If I ever buy something with a diesel, I'll try that stuff. Been driving em for 30 years now and all you say is true about the oil after a change. Blackest **** you'll ever see, even just after a change.
