ZX1 Testimonial
I have been using friction modifiers in my cars since the 1980’s when I discovered some of the Teflon based products. I later had access to the lead/zinc based products (quite good in the grease range) and at one time I used a ceramic based product which is now off the market.
I was introduced to ZX1 a couple of years ago and since I had lost contact with my previous supplier of auto products I was quite keen to try it on my classic Falcon.
I run a 302w, C4 combination on LPG. The engine was rebuilt 10 years ago. I have had many issues with high running temperatures and have tried a couple of friction modifiers in the hope of dropping heat levels in the engine.
The second issue is a noisy hydraulic lifter- the lifters are often rattly at low revs in the V8 so anything that reduces possible wear will mean I delay replacement!
Well it is now 12 months since I did the first treatment with the ZX1, I treated the whole range of components – radiator thru to brakes.
The biggest improvement I have noticed is that the engine is generally a lot quieter at running temperature and cruising speeds. The running temperature is a lot more consistent – there is less variation in engine tempt and it has less peaking when in stop-start traffic. The differential has improved in it’s noise levels and I can only put this down to the action of the ZX1.
The other major improvement has been fuel consumption – enough improvement to notice it!
I also run a landscaping business and have now treated all my engines. Lawnmower, edger, whipper snipper, chainsaw (electric and 2-stroke). After running in my new mower I treated it with ZX1 and left it running for 15minutes – I actually had to cut back the engine because the rev gain as the ZX bedded in was very noticeable!
The engine is a lot smoother now and I hope to get a longer life out of this mower!
I highly recommend the addition of ZX1 to any engine you have especially if you have invested in a new one! The long-term savings in maintenance and replacement will pay back the investment!
