    3. Slick50 is not an oil, its an additive. They put Slick50 in a car in aus, drove it round for a few hundred k's, then dropped the oil, and drove from somewhere in QLD to Darwin (couple of thousand kilometres in some of the hottest dusties climate in Aus) and back, without damaging the engine. Its proven effective, and not just manufacturer hype, it was recorded by independent parties also.
    i'll call slick50 bullshit, independent report are probably bought by slick50,

    i cant see how a motor will turn without lube, for such a long stant anyway,

    would be interesting to open up the motor after the run, (if this actually happened and its not just bullshit)

    got a link or something?

    I also call BS. All oil/fuel/coolant additives are marketing scams. They are all likely a high concentration of something already in the substance, or just plain oil, gas, coolant, etc... in a neatly packaged bottle.

    I've talked and have been taught by enough Ford and Chevy race team members, both drag, and circle track... to know never to get fooled by one of those "additives" again.
