JoshIII responds: I wouldn't have any problem using one quart of Slick50 once (and once only), but repeated use of Slick50 every oil change would be cause for serious concern.
Like arterial sclerosis and high cholesterol (LDL) clogs our arteries and veins, Slick 50 over prolonged use and replenishment *MAY* clog oil ports and holes where high temps also exist like crank and piston rod bearings, or self adjusting hydraulic valve lifters, etc.
You have less wear with synthetic oils, but what the difference is, I wouldn't care to debate.
The engine (if properly maintained) will outlast the rest of the car (transmission, suspension, brakes, upholstery, you name it) anyway, using either petroleum or synthetic based lubricants.
Stay away from graphite additives in any lubricant in contact with any metal at *ALL* cost!
Graphite absorbs moisture and added to lubricants in contact with steel is highly corrosive. Unless you plan to keep the engine running and above the boiling temperature of water continuously, night and day, then graphite lubricants would be ok.
