Anybody try this stuff. They say it will penetrate metal.
it works, If Carroll Shelby promotes it, Its got to be good. He doesn't put his name on ***
metal is very porous, even when polished... i like the idea of filling in those 'cracks'. but i would love to see some hard proof that this stuff actually does what it says. another product out there is oil extreme, and they say that they use calcium carbonate to fill those 'cracks', and even have dyno proven results, but i'm not totally convinced. i might try this product now.
I've heard the different products this company makes are the same petroleum distillate with different colorings added. But you know how these internet rumors go...
I dunno... I've had really good results with RedLine products, Power Service diesel additive, Standyne, Lubeguard products and synthetic lubricants in general. Regular maintenance + good quality lubes = long service life.
Z max stuff just seems to me like one of those products that's based on flashy advertising not research and development. Plus its expensive.
Calcium carbonate, btw is just lime (white powder not fruit). And I think it's what's used in polishing compound. Do you really want this in your engine? I thought the oil filled in the microscopic voids in the metal...

the calcium carbonate is used as an extreme pressure additive read more at
www.oilextreme.com. the quality of oil you buy determines the pressure it can withstand. royal purple had something amazing like 120,000 psi or so from a recent post i read on here. some oils barely had 1,500 psi!!! and i know on the power stroke our diesels are pushing more pressure than that, especially at 20 psi boost and high rpms. so a good oil product really does pay for itself.
