Default Z Max addictives?

Does anyone ever put Z Max in their car? Any benefits? or another BS product.

Z Max has three different additives, engine treatment, gas treatment, and transmission treatment. Any one used before?

P.S sorry about the vocab "additives"

I used it on my motorcycle before and it made my head gasket leak, it made the engine run smoother but it also made it lose alot of torque

snake oil. The manual warns against such additives, just need a good oil, good oil filter, and frequent oil changes.

Z Max kits come with 3 different 12 oz bottles with different colors, but the contents are all the same [per the factory]. Also included is a 4 oz bottle for small engines [lawnmower,etc.]- it's also the same stuff.

I use it in my Rotax powered Ultralight airplane; no way to tell if it does any good or not.
