In all my other cars i've owned i have used slick 50 in the engine oil.
Do you think i should still use this after buying an good quality expensive engine oil?
I understand the qualities of the PTFE in the product stays in the engine for years!!!
Who is using this at the moment?
Cheers

No.

As Bob Rawle stated the other day additives should not be added to a good quality oil.

 

The advertising standards authourity have this week ruled that they can't make the "/2 a million miles and no wear" claim any longer in their adverts as well!

Coz it can't be proved apparently....

Being the sad ole git i am i regsitered for new adjudications from the ASA!

 

I've been thinking about this too. Slick 50 has always proven to be great stuff in the past. But I've always used it in older cars with miles on them. My Scoob is newish with only 17,000miles. And I'm not sure whether to let her loosen up some more first

Also another product to think about is 'motor up' some highly advertised, (on satellite) product that looks great. And is packed full of anti friction agents and magnetic molecules. Adverts huh, they make you wanna buy anything.

When it was found that the BMW 328 engine suffered from excessive wear, Slick 50 did a bench test on 2 engines one with normal multigrade and the other with Slick 50. After 125000 (with oil changes) miles the non Slick 50 engine showed extremely bad wear. The Slick 50 engine was within the smallest of tolerances from the blue prints.

Specialists say don't use it in modern engines especially on turbo cars!?

I have not put Slick 50 in my cars for nearly 10 years.

With good quality oil, to the car manufacturer's specifications, and regular oil & filter changes, there should be no need for additives.

Might even invalidate any warranty claims.

 

Well I use slick 50 on MY97 I think it works the car sounds good not a lot of engine noise and everything is fine just done a round trip to the South and she went like a little sweety SUL Jungle juice and light the blue touch paper and stand well back
