Don't do it!!!!! To many solids in slick 50
Just keep your oil changed at recommended intervals and you will be fine. Mobil 1 is great stuff.

Slick 50 + engine oil = this to your engine

Good oil and you should be set. Now, what constitutes good oil? There's a religious war in the offing...

Slick-50 has particles floating around in it, particles get trapped in the Oil Filter..... You Decide.

I agree with everyone, Its snake oil, It's been proven (I don't have any links) that the PTFE that they claimed coated the internal engine parts to protect from wear was in a solid form and that it did absolutely nothing. Don't waste your money. GM recommends using no additives with the Mobile 1.

No additives unless the manufacturer specifically recommends them!
