    Depends. If your oil has the gear shaped logo with the words "for gasoline engines", then your oil already has the same chemical as Slick 50, along with a dozen other additives. Thus, Slick 50 will do what it claims to do, but it may already be in the oil you use. If you use a cheaper grade, then your oil has no additives in it. Adding Slick 50 won't hurt, may even help...but overall it's less expensive to use a better grade of oil.

    • Slick 50 contains PTFE, which is not an SAE approved oil additive. It consists of solid particles in suspension.
