Slick 50 in a Porsche?

I've never seen any knowledgeable tech recommend this product as it's chemical composition gradually breaks down and it leaves a lot of nasty sludge-type trash in the system. You're better off using something like Mobil 1, and/or one of the "moly" type additives.

Nooooooooo. I put it in my Nissan 240 SX and my lawn mower. Both died from oil related problems, at about the same time, that were directly attributed to Slick 50. The stuff seems to break down over time (couple years) and form a gooo that clogs everything and is as strong as glue.

DON'T DO IT !!!!!

Wouldn't you have had several oil changes by then? Or is it the thin coating that breaks down? Even so, I'd have thought there wouldn't be much left to cause much trouble...

Have you got any more detail about what happens?

Thanks!

Mark.

Slick 50 contains Teflon. Dupont, owner of the patent, has repeatedly advised against its use in engines. While it does provide a initial slick surface for moving parts, it breaks down with the application of heat (and time) and eventually turns into gobs of goo that like to plug up oil passages. The stuff can do an awful lot of damage before it ever gets to an oil filter. Its OK for old Chevy pickups, though. :)

Oil companies spend millions of pounds on R&D, to get the right blend of oil for the right purpose.

Oil (as long as its changed correctly and properly) contains all the required chemicals to help lubricate, cool and prevent wear on your engine.

DONT PUT OTHER CRAP into your engine

Agreed. Hadda 68 VeeWee bus that blew it's engine late one night at

3am. $1100 it cost me. I had put Slick 50 in it some time previously... Hey! I was young!

Run a hunnered percent clean synthetic oil (in your newer engined Porsche) and you'll be okay. It's the lifeblood of these cars.

Thanks. The votes are in. DON'T DO IT!!! I know I won't.

Don't use that shit!

The best oil for any Porsche is Castrol SLX 0W 30 synthetic

For Europeen readers...it's hard to find. But most of the VW dealers all over the continent sells it last years. Because Castrol will be used now in every new VW or Audi
