Does anyone have knowledge or opinion on Slick 50 and some of these other oil additives I am thinkin about putting one or another in my 2A to enhance engine life?
ANSWER 1: [From various areas of opinion]: One of the best products I’ve used. Highly recommended. ANSWER 2: My opinion, based upon nothing, is that the best thing you can do is run a quality oil and changed at reasonable intervals. The definition of ‘quality oil’ and ‘reasonable intervals’ are left to the reader. Everything that I’ve seen suggests that it is almost impossible to execute a well designed experiment to determine what these are given the variability and time involved. Dyno juice has been run for years and there’s plenty of older rigs with well over 100k on them. My Civic (see the .sig below) has been completely abused all it’s life (I run Castrol GTX and change it when I get around to it) and continues to run very well. There are some compelling reasons to run synthetics, however you can change to oil twice as often for the money with petrol oil. As for the additives, et al. My basic take is that anyone who uses marketing techniques composed of outrageous ‘get quick rich’
