["I'm gonna mix it up right here in the sink."] PetroLon advertises SLICK 50, a polytetraflouroethylene (TPE) additive that *permanently* bonds to your engine, providing extra lubrication for longer life, better mileage and performance, and all that good stuff. "This slippery chemical" is purportedly certified by "Consumers Digest" magazine (who?), the Space Shuttle Columbia, the 1981 Guiness book of World Records (slipperiest substance known to man), and the F.A.A. It's suspended in motor oil, so therefore doesn't violate warranties (I'm just citing the ad), and costs $44 for your once-in-a-lifetime application. Anybody know anything about this stuff? I'm almost tempted. I'll be happy to summarize replies, Dan Scherlis TELCO: 617-489-1838 ARPA: damora%h-sc4@harvard.ARPA (or .EDU)
