Here is a better question -

How do the executives at Shell Oil company sleep at night?

Shell now owns the Slick 50 brand as the result of a chain of buyouts
(Quaker State bought Blue Corral, Pennzoil bought Quaker State, Shell bought
Pennzoil-Quaker State). In the not so distant past Shell preached against
adding anything to your crankcase but API certified motor oil (no additives
to the motor oil like STP or Slick 50). Just another example of how the guys
at Enron were no so different from the guys running other corporations.
