Why not? Slick 50 still sells, why not a fuel pill?

Slick 50, which has been acquired by and is now a subsidiary of
Quaker State, is engine oil with tiny bits of teflon added. And it
does significantly reduce friction in the engine. But the downside
is, it also increases the rate of residue buildup in the oil
passageways. Is it worth the tradeoff? I dunno, I've never used
the stuff. But it is a legitimate product, sold by a legitimate
company. If you do use it, it is probably a good idea to change the
oil filter often.

well I quess you just proved the point about dumb kids if you believe
slick 50 is a ligitemit product. KB

Why isn't it? It's marketed by a reputable company and sold in all
major auto stores and centers:


It is sold by a company that bailed it out after being sued by the Gov.
for false advertising. Their primary purpose is to make money, not
provide a good product. It was proven long ago that teflon is a usless
additive to engines and does actually risk pluging oil passages and
filters. It is a BAD product purchased by ignorant people to enrich the
company that sells it. Its ONLY purpose for existance. KB

BTW, it is actually an additive, and not treated oil.
