Cameron, I will repeat it hear for the benefit of the group. The damage in my engine was caused by blockage of oil channels by the PTFE. The other thing I mentioned in my separate email was that Slick 50, if you read the fine print in 93 was not recommended for high mileage engines. Mine had 195,234 miles and went bad in 2000 miles. I began using Militec-1 in Jan 94. I wasn't exactly looking for something to put in my engine, but I tried it, and I am glad I did. It works. Since I change my oil and filter about every 3000 miles I will not use synthetics. I use Castrol GTX 10w30 and Militec-1. I for one don't believe in extending the period between oil changes.
