Do not use. Their is or was a lawsuit on this for basically being colored mineral oil. It made things worse than stock IIRC.

Waste of money, they market there product to different things (tranny, fuel inj cleaner, two stroke,etc.) all the same product.All they did was put some coloring in it and packaged it differently. I sold the stuff years ago and the company rep was telling me this, cause a customer had mixed up the bottles and was worried he screwed up his car. I tried it cause I got it for free to try and it did nothing.

My dad has an '02 or '03 Toyota Tundra, I dont drive it but a couple times a year. He got z-max on clearance from meijer, paid like $6 and bought a ton of it. The truck starts faster and runs smoother, no joke. I haven't put it in my car yet, I'm pretty scared of the **** but I've actually felt the results.. it was weird.
