I understand that it PROVES nothing, but I can say in 33+ years of driving and 14 vehicles I've never had an engine last like this one has and still uses less oil than lots have after less than 100K miles. I certainly don't think it's hurting anything and buying a brand simular to Slick 50 at approximately $5. per quart and only adding it every 50,000 miles it's only costing 1/10,000 of a cent per mile. I used it in a moped once and the average mpg went from about 100 MPG to between 105-110 MPG. I don't remember the exact numbers, but I think the mileage increase about 7-8 MPG.
