Molyslip 2001E Oil Additive
« on: 07 August 2011, 20:11:51 »
Has seen some impressive videos regarding this oil additive. I normally think there a waste of time but im sort of interested in this one.  I understand that regular oil changes with the omega are the way forward. Just after other opinions / any experiences :)

Unnecessary.

That's all.

I know the focus of opinion within the forum is that oil additives are a waste of money, currently I DO ensure of regular oil changes BUT.....on every car I've owned PRIOR to the 3.0 I've used Slick 50, noticing an instant engine tone change every time. I also know that after using such additives the compressions are higher....according to engine tuning companies anyway..one of whom was confinced that a Vectra I once owned was "tuned".

That said, for now, I haven't bothered with the 3.0...she's swift enough already.

Slick 50 does what it says on the tin, but plays havoc with the breather system.

If these additives weren't snake oil car manufacturers would be endorsing them.

Products like Sick50 introduce particles to the oil that will clog oil filters and restrict oil flow. Steer well clear of them is my advice.

Yes, you'll see demonstrations of engines running without oil after treatment. Impressive. How often do you run your engine without oil? ::)

Exactly what Slick 50 was originally designed for I believe, Light Aircraft losing sudden oil presure, with the view to give the Pilot that little bit of extra fighting chance to try and drop the plane down safely somewhere.
