At the risk of waking up a sleeping dog, there is info in the latest
Consumer Reports (July 96) on a test of motor oils and engine
treatments. The test involved 4.5 million miles of driving with New York
City taxicabs. Short version: 1. No brand of oil (including synthetics)
was any better than any other. 2. Oil change interval of 7,500 miles
recommended 3. Slick 50 and STP had NO benefit.

For what it is worth,
