Subject:      Snake Oils
Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII

Slick 50, Powerup,Prolongs, whatever, with these "miracle" PTFE ingredients, are nothing more than snake oils, that promise a lot and give nothing. Any coating process, has to be applied with either pressure or heat, to inbed it into the metal, so it's there for good. Just dumping a can of this garbage, into your engine, just doesn't make it. Just think about this; Say you wanted to ceramic coat your heads. Do you think you could just dump some ceramic powder into your cooling system, and, bingo, bango, it would inbed itself into the aluminum of your heads? Ah, Ha, Ha, Ha!! Same principle,same theory," but here in the real world", never happen !! I hear Red Line oil's are a real good synthetic.( especially their gear oils and trans oils) I would give that a shot, before I would, go dumping any "Miracle in a can" into anything, I owned.

Chow, Chow, For Now,

Terry
