Default Xado - Did anyone tried it?

Hi. I want to make an overhaul of all fluids in my 350Z since I bought it used. I was thinking, Xado is the first additive that has positive opinion and I'm considering putting it in my engine and transmission. Did anyone tried it?

From Xado's website:
"...this is an innovative product containing revitalizant."

It's snake oil. It is today what SLICK-50 was in the 1980s. The only "proven" engine treatment that works is Seafoam. If your engine is lugging, treat it with Seafoam and add some to your gas tank as well. When you're near empty, change out your oil with a quality synthetic, change all your filters, add quality premium gasoline, clean your MAF sensor(s), check your O2 sensors' lambda readings from open to closed loop to make sure they're working properly and if it's time, do a spark plug change. That's going to do a million times more good than an over-priced can of Xado will.

There's a guy on YouTube who has a channel called ChrisFix. He's done before/after tests on all of the most popular engine treatments on the market. SeaFoam is the only one that has shown any significant cleaning capability.

Beware of any product that claims to bond to the engine's internals at a "molecular" level to revitalize engine components. It's all BS claims. There is no magic formula like that. Most of that crap will just thicken up the oil's viscosity and give you a temporary feeling of improved performance. Many of these products actually end up causing more harm than good.

Warning: don't even try to use this BS!!! Xado originaly came from Ukraine and is known here for being a remarkable crap able to completely destroy your engine!
