Does this stuff do what it say's on the tin :confused:

 

Sounds to good to be true!

Steve,

 

If you do a search, you'll change your mind!!

 

Theres a product called Actvie8 which is better, safer etc

 

But im sure someone will dissagree :D

 

HTH, see yer Tomorrow

 

Rich

Slick 50......

 

.......DON'T DO IT !!!!!!

 

You have been warned :eek:

 

Use a decent oil in the first place and change it regularly, additives are not really beneficial or recommended for our engines.

 

Richard :D

I made the mistake of falling for the 'propaganda' on the Slick 50 bottle and used some - been smoking like a smokey thing ever since!!

I have a ten foot barge pole you could borrow - but I still wouldn't touch it if I were you :D

Snake oil.

 

Anything that sounds too good to be true usually is.

sorry guys i disagree , i put some in my old V6 cdx vectra and on the way home to morecambe from middlesbrough about 2 years ago i ran over a very large object in the road , horrible clang sound ...but nothing else , carried on and when i parked up 1 hour later i had a look to check .....( would have checked there and then but it was lashing down ) and found a hole in the sump about the size of an egg and no oil to be seen apart from the remains of the black splatter under the car ..........had the block checked when the sump was replaced , and it ran perfectly was just as nippy and still

ran smoothe ..maybe i was just lucky or it worked particularilly well on this occasion

but result was i wasnt left with a big bill for a new block or engine rebuild .....well worth the 13 quid ......still would not put it in my zed though

FFS Now I am confused :headvswal F**k it I'm of for a :duffer:

I was speaking to one of Silkolene's top R&D chemists recently and he said steer clear of all additives for oil.

 

Some just don't do much, others can do damage.

Slick 50 caused my car to smoke too, dont do it

My Zed caused my Missus to smoke. :D

sorry m8, thats actually a clue it DOESN'T work, if slick 50 is supposed to lubricate moving parts, how did enough collect in the sump to seal a massive hole??

i think MOST oil suppliers advise AGAINST using any additives in synthetic oil,

we all know the zx doesnt take much oil, so thickening it up can't be good???

 

IMO if you think your engine, needs something to protect against noise/wear

then save your money towards a rebuild, MAYBE a case for putting it in old jags etc that have done 100,000 miles, but not a refined one like a ZX

He meant that the oil had all gone from his sump, he didnt day it sealed it up!!

lol still think its shit,

women do it all the time, RUN WITH NO OIL lmao

actually thats not QUITE TRUE, as i gave my missus a gallon can of oil

to top up her oil once, she came back with an empty can, and said its not enough, she had been waiting for it to show full via the filler cap :headvswal

I've posted on this subject before. Take my advice you're wasting your money - Use a decent fully synthetic oil, it's far more beneficial.

 

Cheers
