Yeah according to their advertising, it actually soaks into metal. That's what would upset me -- if it really soaks in, then it's pretty much irreversible. It's not like they can suck it out of the metal.

Well, maybe owner of this particular vehicle just got permission to drive the piss out of it and blow the engine, if that's true Semtex

LoL! Maybe he's taking a nip from the Z bottle himself. I am always skeptical of this type of stuff. If its BS, it will dissappear in a few years anyway.
I will let someone else find out if it works or not. Until then there is a bunch of stuff that is proven to work like good oil.

Well I gotta go now I'm busy bidding on a case of autographed Mustang glove box doors and sunvisors on ebay.

I am sorry are you trying to be a smarty or actually making a joke.
Anyway it did help a bit I mean it was not crazy OMG this engine has an extra 100 hp but I could feel the engine run smoother.

Screw that. You didnt request it they didnt offer before hand and now your car is throwing an error light.. Tell me you have it in writing they added this crap to your oil. Now go back to the dealership and ask to talk to the dealer manager. Ask him to explain to you why this happened on a 34k vehicle. Now tell him what are you going to do for me to compensate for any unknown damages that may occur or have occured because of this. Lastly my favorite. Tell him you want an upgrade to a nismo edition or your going to report his dealership to the better business bureau and contact a lawyer.
Just my opinion. (fcukers)
