Uncle Jeb's genuine coral snake oil additive. Gets you 50HP and you never have to change the oil again.

But, like any big business they have to cover their butts. So, they make warnings about anything they think will make them less of a target.

It's pretty simple. Slick 50 quiets the valve train noise/other noises in any engine I've put it in. I gotta believe, if it's quieter, than there's less friction, thus less wear. I've used it extensively, in alot of cars. It also helps at cold startup, you can hear the differance. There's another plus side. If you go to sell your engine/car to me, and I hear a bunch of racket going on under the hood, even though it may be "normal" for that engine, I'm going to walk away. Cause hearing, in this case, is believing. How do you like that?
