I always thought that Slick50 was only used for masking problems when
selling used cars. Lately I've been thinking that if it does that so well,
what else does it do? I can't bring myself to use it though. In my mind,
the relation is: if you're using Slick50, what you really need is an engine
rebuild.
My dad put 250,000 miles on a GMC 427 truck engine. He always swore by STP
as an additive and Castrol as an oil.

>>The postman where I used to work had a Midget (bought

>>shipped it home when he got out). Not long after
>>Slick 50 came out, being impressed by the TV
>>commercials, he added some with his next oil change.
>>He apparently did not tighten the oil filter enough
>>and, the next day, it began to leak. The leak didn't
>>seem too serious, so he opted to drive the car to work
>>(and back) that day, planning to fix it when he got
>>home that night. Well, the leak got much worse,
>>unbeknownst (love that word) to him, and by the time
>>he got home and checked out the situation, he found he
>>had no oil left at all! He had no idea how long it
>>was running without oil, but he attributes the lack of
>>any engine damage to his use of Slick 50 (just like
>>the commercials said!).
>>
>>I, personally, don't use the stuff and never have, but
>>when someone tells you of an experience like that, you
>>wonder if maybe it wouldn't be worth trying, just to
>>be on the safe side.
