Product Information
Full details
This Slick 50 Engine Treatment is for car owners looking to reduce engine wear and improve performance, especially in stop-and-go traffic or high-stress conditions. Its key benefit is bonding PTFE to metal engine parts for smoother operation and reduced friction. A caveat is that it should be added to existing engine oil and is suitable for engines up to 1400cc, requiring proper oil level checks after application. The treatment offers ongoing protection against friction and heat, helps keep the engine clean by preventing sludge, and is compatible with most mineral and semi-synthetic motor oils.

Will this void my car's warranty?
Using Slick 50 should not void your warranty as long as you follow the manufacturer's recommendations for oil and filter changes and the product's usage instructions. It meets API SM/CF requirements.
What should I do if I accidentally overfill my engine oil after adding Slick 50?
If you overfill the engine, you must drain the excess oil immediately to prevent potential engine damage. Refer to your vehicle's manual for the correct procedure.
Is Slick 50 a replacement for regular oil changes?
No, Slick 50 is an additive designed to work with your existing engine oil. You must still adhere to your vehicle manufacturer's recommended schedule for oil and filter changes.
Troubleshooting
Engine oil level appears too high after adding treatment
If you added Slick 50 without performing a full oil change, carefully remove a small amount of oil to bring the level back to the correct mark on the dipstick. If you performed a full oil change and added Slick 50, ensure you replaced 500ml of oil with 500ml of treatment and check the dipstick again. Do not overfill.
Product is difficult to pour
Ensure the product is at room temperature. If it has been stored in a cold environment, allow it to warm up before attempting to pour.
Concerns about compatibility with my specific oil
Slick 50 is compatible with most mineral and semi-synthetic motor oils. If you have a highly specialized synthetic oil, consult your vehicle's manual or the oil manufacturer for specific additive compatibility, though Slick 50 is generally safe.
