DON'T USE ZMAX!!!!!!!
There was a site with some governmental test showing how zmax actually hurt your engine.
I think this was it http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2001/02/zmax1.htm

If you're worried about engine oil and fuel system cleaners. Check out bobistheoilguy.com
The forums there will provide you with all you need to know about oils, oil testing, fuel system additives etc.
Personally, I'm going to be running some AutoRx shortly and probably Neutra as well.
If you change your dino oil every 3000K miles (5000K km) or every 5000K miles (7500K km) with a top brand synthetic. You'll be more than covered. If you're driving a Honda, be worried about North American Honda oil filters as they are simply floss. Insist that they use the Euro spec or bring your own in. If your driving a late model Toyota - check to see it is one of the sludge monsters. Any way, you'll be lost in oil there for hours and hours!
For Dino oil, go either with Pennzoil or Havoline.
For Synthetics - go with either Mobile 1 SuperSyn (improved profile over the TriSyn), Royal Purple, Shaeffar's, Amsoil, Redline or Castrol SLX (German made not US). Change it every 5000K miles and you'll be more then covered. If you're really paranoid as I am now getting about oil as well detailing, run some AutoRx all the time and Neutra in the fuel and you'll be far away covered.

I'll also toss in an oil recommendation - Chevron Supreme. Not only does it have excellent specs but I've heard it now includes moly for added protection.
I think Chevron Supreme is the best non-synth oil money can buy short of buying from a specialty blender like Schaeffer's, which is a terrific company.
If money is no object, my vote is for Redline Oil over Amsoil. If you want a synth sold locally your best bet is Mobil One.
