What Makes ZX1 Different?

Unlike traditional additives, ZX1 is not mixed into oil—it chemically bonds to metal surfaces. It contains no PTFE, solids, or molybdenum, ensuring safety for filters and emissions systems. The bonded micro-layer reduces friction and protects parts for up to 25,000 miles.

I’ve used ZX1 in all my vans and motorcycles for over 20 years. Not only has it added performance benefits to my engines, but it’s saved my bacon on more than one occasion!

This is amazing stuff. I have put this in the engines of two cars and one motorcycle (all Hondas… which run sweet anyway) and added to the fuel tanks for one treatment each. I cannot believe by how much they have been improved!!! SUPER SMOOTHIES now. It’s early days yet, but it also appears to be helping my fuel economy too. What a great product this is – well worth a punt.

This does all it says. Reduces engine noise, improves MPG and makes for easier starting and I recommend using it. However, I bought this treatment and oil direct from ZX1 as it worked out a good deal cheaper. This makes it very good value and it arrived very promptly.

I have no doubt about the capabilities of this product – I’ve used it on my 14-year-old Zetec, and it’s improved it. However, there’s a minor placebo effect thrown in when using this product in the beginning. The smoother/quieter sound of the engine initially is just the liquid you’ve poured in, mixing and diluting the engine oil already in there (making the car feel silkier). That wears off after a few days – and in all hope, by then the product is doing its intended job of penetrating the internal metal and making the surface contacts more durable in the long run.

I have an older Ford Fiesta which was generally a bit sluggish and not sounding too healthy on colder mornings. I gave ZX1 a try – it’s not the cheapest product on the market but certainly worth every penny. I can’t believe the difference in the sound of the engine, the improvement on my MPG, and the car generally feels so much smoother to drive. I added about 100ml to my oil and took it for a 50 mile spin. I could feel the difference after 15–20 miles.

Have bought this product for the last three of my cars. It is excellent at reducing friction and can be used in the petrol to lubricate the upper cylinders. Change the oil and put the required amount in and you will have an engine that has all the internal moving parts protected. It’s not PTFE like some other brands – it bonds chemically using the heat generated to thermally bond to the internals.

I’ve used this for years. Normally bought by 250ml bottle, but here it was considerably cheaper by the litre – a big plus. I put it in just about everything that moves: engine, transmission, power steering, fuel tank, lawn mower, locks, hinges… the list is endless. Everything is smoother, quieter, more economical in all cases. I routinely get around 10% better fuel economy (in a 6-liter Audi) – which is impressive. It more than pays for itself. Nothing else is as good (and I believe I’ve tried it all). Highly recommended.

Brilliant stuff. I have a motorcycle that’s done 67,000+ miles and a diesel car that’s done 114,000+ miles. After putting this oil everywhere I can (fuel, water and oil in the bike and car), there’s a big difference in sound, smoothness and performance – especially with the bike; it even starts up better now. I’m really pleased with the results and I will be buying some more in the future. I know the initial outlay is a bit expensive but it is definitely worth the cost.

I added this to my engine oil and fuel tank and noticed a difference straight away – engine runs smoother and revs more freely. Excellent buy.

FAQs – Extralube ZX1 Micro Oil Metal Treatment

“EXTRALUBE ZX1 does not contain any solids it is ideal for using in hydraulic systems to reduce running temperature and improve efficiency by reducing internal friction thereby improving component life.

To use EXTRALUBE ZX1 in hydraulics we advise a 1% ratio of ZX1 to Hydraulic oil, if possible, bypass the hydraulic oil tank and introduce the ZX1 directly into the working part of the system which will ensure that the ZX1 gets to the working parts quicker.
In the past we have witnessed the following, a JCB with a concrete breaker attached was running at 7/8ths throttle to acquire the ideal breaking action, 1% of EXTRALUBE ZX1 was introduced to the hydraulic oil tank, within +/- 15 minutes the throttle was backed off to 5/8ths retaining the same breaking action.”

“Thank you for your enquiry, EXTRALUBE ZX1 is purely a metal treatment and will not affect the composite fibre of the clutch plate, go ahead and treat your motorbike.”

“If you put approximately 20 ml of ZX1 in your steering fluid it will help the power steering pump.”

“EXTRALUBE ZX1 can be added to the fuel to help the upper cylinder areas such as the valves, it will also help clean the injectors as it passes through the system.

Use 1 ml ZX1 per 1 litre of fuel as an initial treatment and then a half dose again after approximately 1000 miles, for subsequent treatments also use 0.5 ml per 1 litre of fuel, this can be done at any time you feel the engine would benefit another treatment.”
