4th Generation Z-Max Question

Hey guys

I'm thinking of sticking in Z-Max into my car. Does it really work as well as they claim and are there special procedures i should follow so this is most effective?

Should i just get the engine/fuel kit or the engine/fuel/tranny kit?

Thanks for all the help and opinions!

Appreciated as always!

so...its okay then....

Any ways i just put the stuff in and it feels nicer already. However i wont see the full effects still later. A buddy of mine says that stuff worked wonders for him but unlike what the manual said, he said we need to run it for a long time for it to soak in. Like one long ass run. So since we were going out today i said why not. Took probably a 45 minute drive one way, ate lunch, came back and drove even farther south to visit some other relatives then drove back home. So i think, eventho cit wasnt a continuous 2 hour drive, somehow it should have begun soaking in.

I'll just wait and see if i can get better than 22mpg.

hmm what are you asking? Sorry im a bit confused.

If ur asking those questions to me...i have about 89K on the car and its already got its 90K service done. I have just switched over to synthetic oil and now with added Z-Max which has sort of overfilled my tranny and engine...but i think it should be okay since it says its okay. And i use a longer life mobile1 oil filter so i can change oil at 5k/6mo vs regular 3k/6mo.
