WHAT IS POLY? \"Poly\" is short for polytetrafluoroethylene (TFE). It is the slipperiest substance known to man (1981 Guiness Book of World Re- cords, p. 188). The PetroLon Corpo- ration, makers of Slick 50, has inven- ted a way to permanently bind this slippery chemical to your engine with one treatment. All you do is add one quart of Slick 50 to your oil during oil and filter change. By reducing engine friction, Slick 50 increases gas mileage and horsepower and reduces engine operating temperature thus causing your oil and engine to last longer. Just as important, it reduces metal wear, defraying costly overhauls. HOW DO I KNOW THIS ISN\'T A FRAUD? Slick 50 has some very im- pressive credentials. The \"Consumers Digest\" magazine (March/April 1982, p. 35) states \"Slick 50 does reduce en- gine heat and ordinary wear, and our informal tests indicate that it will im- prove gas mileage by about two or three miles pergallon.... Slick 50 does exactly what Petrolon claims it does.\" Researchers at a nationally respected research laboratory, after applying a powerful ultrasonic cleaning pro- cess to a Slick 50 treated engine part, were surprised at its permanence. They stated, \"We actually expected the Petro- Lon Slick 50 TFE Resin coating to also be removed, but later found it was still there.\" The Federal Aviation Adminis- tration has fully accepted a similar product- Slick 50 Aircraft Treatment (F.A.R. #33.49). An FAA test simulating 1400 hours of engine use showed almost zero engine wear! TUV, a German testing laboratory with credentials every bit as presti- gious as our Underwriters Laboratories, tested Slick 50 in 1986. They found substantial increases in both gas mile- age and horsepower. Their tests showed that these gains were due to a reduc- tion in friction. A test done at the San Diego State University revealed that, \"Slick 50 does increase horsepower and decreases fuel consumption in tests done at the university.\" The Space Shuttle Colum- bia uses the chemical \"poly\" in its gears and bearings because it is the only chemical lubricant which can withstand the heat and corrosive ele- ments of space. Perhaps the most dramatic of all is a torture-test overseen by the Automo- tive Services Council for Pennsyl- vania and shown on television station WTVE. Three cars with between 75,000 and 129,000 miles on them were treated with Slick 50. Six months later the oil was drained from each vehicle and the cars were driven without the oil plugs for about a half hour. The water tem- perature never rose and the engines sustained no apparent damage. HOW DO YOU TREAT AN EN- GINE? Very simply. Just before oil and filter change, add engine flush (sent free with each order) to clean out your engine. Let your engine idle for 5 min- utes. Then drain your oil, change filter and add the proper amount of oil less one quart. Add one quart Slick 50, drive for 30 minutes, and leave it in the crankcase for 3,000 miles. Add two quarts for engines with oil capacities of seven quarts or more. Slick 50 gives a permanent coat- ing so you need to treat only once, not each time you change oil. Slick 50 is also excellent for turbocharged engines, aluminum block engines and rotary engines. WILL IT WORK WITH MOST OIL? Yes, Slick 50 will work with all petro- leum based oils and all synthetics com- patable with petroleum based oils. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SLICK 50? Your actual benefits in percentages may vary, depending on the kind of driving you do, vehicle condition, etc. By reducing friction, Slick 50 does all of the following: it increases gas mileage. It increases horsepower -- small economy cars and large RV\'s really need this. It makes for easier starting (important in cold weather). It reduces operat- ing temperatures, thus increasing the lubrication and life of your oil and your engine. Since lubricating lead is being removed from gas and unleaded gas is poor in lubricating qualities, the extra lubrication of Slick 50 on valve stems and guides is very valu- able. Last, but not least, the drastic reduction in engine wear can delay costly overhauls which can in fact cost well over $1,000. Slick 50 elimi- nates the \"lubrication starvation\" that all cars experience when first started before the oil has a chance to circu- late. Up to 90% of the wear on a car can be caused by this lubrication starva- tion. You receive all of these benefits for less than the cost of two tanks of gas ($39.95). WILL SLICK 50 HARM MY EN- GINE OR AFFECT MY WARRANTY? No! Slick 50 is suspended in an excel- lent grade of petroleum oil which meets or exceeds every manufacturers en- gine warranty requirements. In addi- tion, this oil carries an API (American Petroleum Institute) service classifi- cation SF-CC-CD. DEALERSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE.
