To all ye unbelievers.... In my experience, every time I have put Slick 50 or similar additive in any engine (or tranny) of mine, (currently we're talkin' an '81 Westy and a '78 280Z) I have noticed increased power, smoother acceleration, less noise. What I have NOT noticed, contrary to the adverts, is any significant reduction in engine running temps. Just going by the "feel" of an engine is usually good enough for me, and I say I like it! So there. So...anyone know how accurate those funny little red markings that are supposed to indicate when to shift are on an '81 FI'd Westy? How religiously should I try not to exceed the speed in each given gear? Again, I go by feel with this, so if I am doin' wrong by the Code of St. Muir, you have my permission to set me straight using (preferably) ancient methods of torture and interrogation....who knows what other sins be lurking in my heart? Well, now that I have said the nothing I had to say, besides "Hi", I shall now sign off..... Gene '81 Westy (Edward) Wine Country, CA.....oh, and speaking of wine....
