To answer the statement about Slick 50, I believe they say it is formulated with teflon, if I'm wrong please let me know. Teflon can only adhere to metal at a minimum of 800 degrees farenheit. All of us know what happens to an engine that reaches that temperature, it only happens once, if you know what I mean. Teflon will only adhere at that temperature, and only if it is surgically clean. Therefore, any additives containing teflon are useless and will not benefit you at all. If you stick with a high quality synthetic from the get go, you will be way ahead than with any additives. Most additives will actually break down the molecular structure of the motor oil therefore reducing the filmstrength and benefits of any oil you are using. STP is a good example. Basically STP is a 380 weight oil, therefore, after adding STP and letting it sit for a day or so. it will be at the bottom of your oil pan, and try pulling up a 380+ weight oil through an oil pump, especially in the winter time. Its a scam along with all the other additives such as Slick 50, Prolong, and STP. If you do some deep research you will see. Anything can be advertised very well, however, wouldn't you want that money put into research and developement? That is where Amsoil comes into play. They don't waste time and money on advertising, they put it into R&D. Therefore, they can provide an exceptional product which nobody can compete with.

Yes Mobil 1 has Poly Alpha Olephins in its base stock, but not enough to call it 100% synthetic. They only have enough in it to call it a "FULL Synthetic". Unfortunately, in this country, there are no standards to what a company can call a "synthetic", however, there are standards to what a company can call a synthetic "100% synthetic."
