Just take one of your teflon cooking pans, and scrape the teflon off and dump it into your engine. Then add a half-quart or so of very very very thin mineral oil, or even diesel fuel.

There, you've just put Slick-50 in your engine! Congrats, you now have particles of a solid in the oil, which can accumulate and even clump together and clog oil passages in the worst case.

Teflon is a solid. If you grind it up fine, it's still a solid. It won't coat anything unless you prep the surface carefully and then treat it correctly and then perform a much more complicated process than "dump the crap into your oil".

Not worth it, and potentially harmful. IMHO.
