I always felt that if these wonder additives actually did half of what they claimed the manufactorers would be using em.Both for warranty concerns and to save the millions upon millions of dollars spent wringing out an additional 2 0r 3 tenths of a mpg out of an engine.

slick 50, prolong, are those personal lubricants?
No need for them in a Corvette, read the manual to understand the specs... GM4718M is all you need to know for the engine.

Would be a mistake. Performance of the products are poor and cost is high. Just use a good filter and oil. No additive will increase HP...soooo do not be folled
