Is slick 50 the answer

[thewolfy]

Hi guys
I am getting my timing chains done in a couple of months however I was just wondering if putting slick 50 in the engine might just help short term with the lubrication, im guessing the slick 50 will stick to all the chains and valves and other moving things
Thanks in advance
Sean

I suggest using a pure synthetic motor oil. Slick50does not live up to it's claims. There was a class action lawsuit filed a few years ago in the United States against them.

Is Slick 59 the answer

In a word NO.

As Dan said, take a gander at http://www.ftc.gov/opa/1996/07/slick.shtm
