Yes, I too tried silly kitties and realized a 5 mpg improvement in gas
mileage. I had to change the oil filter much more often though.
The age and type of cat seem to make a small difference in results.
Large Cats: Almost impossible to fit into the oil fill orifice.
Sustained multiple scratches and other injuries with this
procedure.
Small Kittens: Much easier, just put on gloves and pop them right
in there.
Slick-50: Hard to find in stores anymore. Not good due to clogging
of small oil ducts. Also more expensive than silly kitties.
Awful Al
