>a way which would tend to make everything last. Apart from regular >servicing the only other thing I did was to put a can (1 litre) of "SLICK >50" in with the oil at the first change. Ron, Did you put it in when it was new, or when you bought it, or when? My vanagon has 275K on it, and like yours, the motor has only come out for a new clutch. Other than that it is all still intact from its 'birth' I also have a Ford Taurus with 100K on it and a Chevette with 140K still running great (really!) I sometimes wonder if there is any value in Slick 50 type stuff at that point in the life of any of the vehicles. Regards from Utah, John |
