Hi everyone,

I'm from Sweden but are now living and working in Texas (Dodge Dealer) for the
past year because I got married to an American girl.
Anyway, about Slick 50 here is my experience with it: First car I tried it in
was a -83 Saab 900 Turbo with 150000 miles on it, did a oil change with Slick 50
and drove the car for about 600 miles non stop, when I got to my destination the
idle had gone up 400 rpm ????? You figure out why.
Next one was a Fiat Croma Turbo -89 got the car new, broke it in with driving
600 miles non stop highway. After that did oilchange to Mobil 1. Stock boost was
0.5 bar, turn the boost up to 1.0 bar, after about 15000 miles I added Slick 50
(then after every 50000 miles I added a new bottle of Slick 50).
I did oil change with Mobil 1 every 6000 miles, after 167500 miles I blow the
head gasket, so I thought I take the engine apart to see what else it needed.
NOTHING, the engine was as clean as new inside, no trace after any "snakeoil" or
other things.
My point is, don't believe everything you read, make your own opinion and if you
change oil regularly I have a very hard time to believe that Slick 50 would do
any damage to your engine, I have no experience with all the other "snake oil"
but it was a major big oil company that both Slick 50 a couple of years ago. And
if it was so bad that everybody says, why would they do that????????
