  Everything I've heard about them is that they're a waste of money. At
best, they don't do anything for your engine. At worst, they can actually
cause damage. (Slick 50) All of this is 2nd and third hand info; maybe
someone else knows where to get definitive info. I do remember hearing
about engine damage that was attributed to Slick 50 though. IMHO, I'd
stay away from them. I don't see how they can do anything for you,
especially if you're already using synthetic oil.
