"I've been using the range of ZX1 friction eliminators for over 8 years and have never been disappointed with the results.
I've used the engine additive in petrol and diesel engines in cars, motorcycles and lawnmowers.
Once the fluid has had time to circulate there is a noticeable reduction in engine noise and an overall smoother feeling to the running engine.
Fuel consumption improves and I gained an extra 2mpg on a C180K and an extra 5mpg 307SW. I've never monitored the consumption on my motorcycles but use the additive as more of a protective agent as I don't ride them that often.
I've recently used the additive on my 120d and my wife's Fiesta Econetic and am hoping for the same as I've seen on my past vehicles.
All in all, it does the job, the price is comparable to others on the market but with the backing of NATO and the MoD who use this product you can't go wrong"

"this stuff is amazing, when used in a diesel engine it completely eliminates the clacking sound of the valves being stuck
it should definitely be used every time you change your oil"

Pros: it really works, simple to use
Cons: not always in stock
"Am glad to be able to whole heartedly recommend this product to anyone willing to listen, have been using ZX1 for several years and whenever I get a new car it's my first purchase. I would say it is most noticeable, audibly, when you put it in a diesel as it makes a lot of those clacky sounds disappear almost instantly. In both diesel and petrol however you can feel the car running more smoothly and quietly! I personally have put it in both the oil and water (can help protect the engine if you get head gasket failure) and when servicing the engineer even used it in the gearbox of my Freelander! All I can say is TRY IT FOR YOURSELF I truly believe you won't be disappointed."

Pros: excellent customer support from team zx1
Cons: expensive
"I've given this product a 4 star overall rating , mainly because of the excellent customer service and contact/response with the Manufacturers - Team ZX1.
They really do reply to e-mails and give good advice and support. All very professional and reassuring. I believe they are totally behind their product and it shows.
I tried this in the gearbox and differentials of 2 cars with high mileage. Unfortunately it did nothing for the noisy one, but for the better one , I believe there was some improvement. Nothing earth shattering, but a bit slicker and smoother through the gears."

"I've been using this ZX1 for a numbers of years, I've put it in the cars engine and fuel system. It does exactly what it says on the product. It improves performance, fuel efficiency, but most importantly the reduction in engine wear. It is particulary good in protecting the engine when cold. I've even used in the my lawnmower! Anything with a engine 4 stroke or 2 stroke. Even put it in radio controlled models, makes them fast and protects the engine. For the money, this in the long run is worth every penny!"
