There is an additive I keep seeing advertised in an infomercial called Z-max, 1-800-720-5353. Generally I would be a little skeptical of anything advertised in an infomercial, but this one seemed pretty convincing, apparently Z-max contains an additive called "Linkite" that absorbs into the metal as opposed to Slick 50 that doesn't penetrate into the metal as well. They make a version for your oil, transmission, and fuel system. I think they were selling all 3 for $39.95. I haven't used this additive yet, so don't take this information as an endorsement. I haven't looked yet to see if there is a web site for this product. -----Original Message----- From: Sean Spurlock [mailto:sean_dmc1@xxxx] Sent: Sunday, July 02, 2000 10:21 AM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [DML] lock / window failure prevention Group, I am a very fortunate man. My car, VIN 7003, works! The locks, fuel sending unit, oil pressure gauge, speedo, windows, A/C, etc... all work. How can I keep it this way. Has it had any of the updates...I don't know. What is an easy way to tell. Especially, I want to keep my locks and windows working...what should I do? I would appreciate any info. Also has anyone put in an oil additive into their cars. I am changing the oil in the engine and dope in the transmission and want to put in a cleaner prior to the change, and then an additive? Anything better than slick 50? I would appreciate the help. Thanks Sean Vin 7003 ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Before posting messages or replies, see the posting policy rules at: www.dmcnews.com/Admin/rules.html To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderator@xxxx
