Hi guys. I've been trying to find more information on ZX1 Extralube. It doesn't appear to use paraffins or chlorinated esters.
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Information on ingredients:
Modified hydrocarbons with EP additives.
Hazards identification: R52/53 and R67
Physical state: Liquid
Colour Light brown
Density at 20° C 1.0099 g/cm³
Flashpoint (ASTM D93) > 61° C
Boiling point > 150° C
Solubility in water at 20°C 1% b.w.
ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
This product is biodegradable.
I saw the well-known mechanical engineer Allen Millyard use it on his motorcycles
What do you think?
 
Some of the more egregious claims:

The benefits of Extralube ZX1:
• Works with all oils, including synthetics
Virtually eliminates friction.
Impregnates all wearing surfaces. As with another ancient lube's claims, we proved metal penetration cannot occur.
• Excellent cold start protection and anti-wear performance.
• Superb high temperature and turbo protection.
Protects immediately for up to 40,000 kilometres.
• Consistently improves fuel economy.
• Reduced exhaust emissions.
Increases productivity.
• Reduces motor stress, point pressures and energy consumption.
Minimises contact expansions by reducing heat.
• Protects metals against corrosion and scuffing.
Disperses damp.
Reduces rejection rates.
• Releases jammed mechanisms.
• Pretreats components prior to assembly.
Imparts efficient metal penetration, lubricity, cleansing and protection. As with another ancient lube's claims, we proved metal penetration cannot occur.

Save your money and pass on this one because they do not show by what testing method was used to support these claims.
 
Being a well known mech engineer doesn't make one an expert in lubricants and additives. I'm an Aerospace Eng specialized in weapons integration, but if you asked me what oil to put in your Lycoming, I'm knowledgeable enough tell you to look in your owner's manual.
