Zmax vs Seafoam

[benjerman112]

I've used them both and i think they both work great. Zmax cleans and conditions cylinder walls, pistons, piston rings, bearings and valves. Increased Gas Mileage,Improved Performance Reduced Wear on Vital Engine Parts,Extended Engine Life and Reduced Emissions

Provides continuous lubrication of your engine’s internal parts. Protection for both new and used engines – helps with engine break in. The result is reduced wear on vital parts, longer engine life and restored power

Cleans your fuel system and conditions the combustion chambers of your engine. Removes carbon and other deposits from the intake/exhaust valves, valve guides, cylinder walls and piston rings.The result is increased gas mileage, improved performance, increased horsepower and lower emissions


Seafoam will Clean fuel injectors,cleans carbon build up,stabilizes fuels,uppercylinder lube,removes moisture in fuel,frees sticky lifters,frees sticky rings,removes moisture in oil,cleans P.C.V. systems,cleans catalytic converter odors and oxygen sensor safe. Seafoam works right away feel lost power come back the engine feels likr new, I didnt put seafoam in my oil cause of stories of it eatting away seals.

Both will increase mpg their both easy to use but i think Zmax last longer!

I just Seafoam'd my car the other day. Never heard of Zmax :o

I've never used either. Have heard a lot of people on here that use seafoam. I've heard and seen Z-Max advertised much more then seafoam, when it comes to TV/Radio Ads. I had not heard of seafoam until I started reading things on this site.

No... really? I saw Zmax when i was stationed @ Ft Sam Houston...

I wouldn't use Zmax on any car you cared about.
They were sued by the Federal Trade Commission because test proved using zMax produced more than twice as much bearing corrosion as motor oil alone.

They may have changed their formula since then, but I'm not brave enough to try it.

all I know and stick to is Seafoam. Its worked on all the car's I've tried, including my own. I have yet to have a friend/fellow car guy use Zmax that I know of. So til' then, I'm not gonna use it.

Wow i didn't know that...that sux i like that stuff to it works wonders in the gas tank...

[benjerman112]

So after a couple weeks of driving my mpg jumped to 27 from 24... Thats mostly city i jump on the freeway every now and then. Thats almost as good as my new car!

maybe i should try seafoam in the crankcase next time when i go to change my oil? well i should drive it at night so i don't scare my neighbors, well they like calling the cops for just anything...

Seafoam only smokes if you put it in one of the vacuum lines. I think most people use the brake booster vacuum line.

i used seafoamed but i guess my motor was clean cuz it didnt have a big puff a white smoke. it was some small shit. i used seafoam trans tune too. that worked for about a day or two . i need a real tranny flush though. i dunno i guess i didnt get the same results as everyone else.
