hey guys, i havnt used any additives to my civic, but we've added it to my dads yukon xl, and believe me. slick 50 is the way to go. we've also been running it in my dads 82 tercel, since the late 90's and when we had the engine rebuilt, the guy complemented us on how little the engine had degraded, he said the tolerances were so close to original that he installed factory seals on the pistons, not bad for an engine that had 280,000 at the time.

we also used to know a chemist that worked in lubricants for nasa, and theres a chemical in slick 50 called PTFE, its on the label. that chemical is by far the best lube out there, not only that, but it maintains the life of the seals and reduces friction on the crank.

you guys may still be skeptical, but i'll be using slick 50 on my civic.
btw the yukon gets another 2mpg and the tercel gets another 4 mpg with the slick 50 added at the oil change.
