Thank you for your post, Bilgey. The Rau article makes a lot of
sense. I'll keep my Amphi Slick 50-free.

Ummmm...That's a big NOT, Richard. That teflon shavings oil additive
crap is likelier to do more harm than good. For more details, please
read the widely known article on the matter, "Snake Oil! Is That
Additive Really A Negative?" by Fred Rau, Road Rider, August 1992.
You'll find a proper copy of it here:

To learn more than you ever wanted to know about motor oil, please
read, "More Than You Ever Wanted to Know About Motor Oil" by Ed
Hackett, the most recent and correct version of this gold standard
guide for the perplexed lubricants fetishist of which can be found at
http://www.micapeak.com/info/oiled.html
Hackett's conclusion: If you really want to treat your Amphi, do it
with AMSOil. You should find a link to my old "AMSOIL for Amphicars
Catalog" on the Club website's homepage.

Just wondering whether anyone has thoughts or experience regarding
the use of Slick 50 oil additive in our Amphicar engines? Would you
use it or not?
