Just be careful.

It's not that long ago since someone here had problems after adding 'upper cylinder lube' and admittedly, his problems may have arisen from the fact that he put too much in, but the point is, these engines are some of the most finely engineered machines you'll ever see and will happily run to 200k, even 300k miles and beyond, without any extra sort of additive or lubrication.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

i have used this (zx1) in 3 hybrid lexus and 1 honda ima  without any issues . this is about helping the engine produce less friction , less friction less wear more mpg.

I've been using ZX1 for over 3 decades. You only use it once and that's when you first get the car. 

How long had you had the car before you added ZX1?

[hondansxr]

i use it when i get a car and in my business of selling cars . i use it every other oil change in my6 own cars which are all pre owned .

I must admit, I've been tempted, but agree with "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", and that hopefully regular oil changes will keep it "unbroke".

Would possibly consider this, or something similar, if I had problems though.

[hondansxr]

its not only about protection its prevention and the benefits of less friction . you will not be disappointed .

I dont want to be the doomsayer,  please be aware that the ZX1 website has a cautionary note against using the ZX1 Micro Oil Metal Treatment in Hybrid engines and hybrid oils.

yes they are covering their back like domestos says dont drink it .

this is my 3rd lexus hybid with zx1 and no issues .it is NOT  an additive it clings to the metal surface similar to magnatec
