trw; I've never heard of any 'problems' using it. Just the 'snake oil effect'.

Ditto - snake oil. Save your money and just use quality oil and change it on time,

reason i ask is have heard from a ford engineer on
a internet auto show saying slick 50 yes its a sliperyy
oil but i cant put it in his exact words what harm it does
but he says over time your doing more harm than good

and i have to agree with him i my self once used a
a bottle of slick 50 for higher mileage engines and after
3000kms with the stuff in the engine it died litterly

I wouldn't believe anything on those 'informercials'. Chances are, the engine died of other reasons?

YAH! i have heard a few baad true stories about slick 50
1 guy i know told me he seized his brand new engine
back in the 80"s after changing his oil and filter on my
old tercel it had problem with oil burning thats because
toyota had problems with the valve seals after i used that
crap 3000kms later i went out one day and almost imediatly

had major power loss took it to a shop they said you have
very little compression you need a engine!!! Frown so call it
snake or Sh!t oil for that matter i no it did harm to my engine
i will never ever use that junk in my cars again and if anyone
out there in there right mind is willing to risk there engine
i say go ahead anyone that thinks they need to use a liquid teflon
coating to stick to there engine is on crack that stuff will
get into places of a tight tolerance engine and do harm believe me the best oil to
use is synthetic

trw; I seriously doubt that a quart of Slick 50 caused the engine to sieze. It more than likely had an issue prior to adding the snake oil. You are right, a good synthetic is a much better and wiser decision.Wink
