but shelby endorses it

 

[BlownFiveLiter]

And it's as thin as water. There's no way in hell I'm diluting my oil with anything.

 

[tag4car]

but it soaks into the metal!!!!!!!!!!






so does hydrofluoric acid..

 

[GDTrumbo]

Not only soaks into the metals, it dissolves carbon like it's goin' out of style!
I've used Mobil1 5W-30 w/ Motorcraft filter for years now. I treated mine once and after 6K miles found the drained oil to be visually darker compared to previous and subsequent oil changes.

Only oil additive I would ever use but, not something I would use every oil change due to the $38 oil/fuel treatment kit cost.

I might use Rislone on a '60's or '70's if need be but, Snake Oil? There's a little more to it than that.

That added darkness to the oil could be a number of things, and not necessarily carbon. If I wanted to clean my crankcase out, I'd put in some synthetic oil, or add some Seafoam to it for $8.

 

[GDTrumbo]

My '98 DD took to the synthetic oil very well. Gained 3 mpg on paper from the 1st use. Daily commute is about 45 miles round trip with a good combo of highway & in-town driving. Have averaged somewhere between 27.4 to 27.8 over and over again in the summer. Winter, a little less.

I've heard some bad stories / affects with the Seafoam usage. Have you used this product yourself?

[BurningRubber]

I ran Seafoam through the intake on my Mustang, and Jeep.

It made a ton of smoke, but not much else. Both seemed to run maybe a little smoother after the treatment.

Nothing I would put into the engine, though...

 

[SONIC 4.6]

I dont trust 99% of endorsed stuff out there.....Synthedic oil has always been good to me.

Rumor has it that Billy Mays will be endorsing Z-Max during their next round of infomercials...

OH SNAP!!!! IF HE IS ENDORSING IT THEN IT HAS TO WORK RIGHT? I AM GOING TO RUN OUT AND BUY SOME TODAY.

 

[BurningRubber]

If Billy Mays endorses it, it must be safe to run in place of motor oil!!!11
