Ask any of the 10,000+ individuals involved in the recent lawsuit against Quaker State - they won. Aside from it's dubious abilities, keep in mind that Slick 50 contains teflon ... and as any Dupont chemist will tell you, teflon does not disolve... it turns into small flakes which can and will clog up the narrow cam follower oil feeds and the turbo oil feeds, resulting in lowered oil pressure and possible oil starvation. You'll do much better with a quality synthetic oil. -Justin 13 Saabs and over 1.8 million miles between them Still waiting to rebuild an engine
