Give your new car a bright future or your old car a reprieve from life shortening engine wear with a single quart treatment of one of the most credentialed friction reducing and gas saving treatments available today: Slick 50, the one-time treatment that makes the slipperiest substance known to man*--\"Poly\"-- bond to your engine\'s most vulnerable moving parts. *NOTE: The 1988 Guiness Book of World Records (pg. 182) says: \"The lowest coefficient of static and dynamic friction of any solid is 0.02, in the case of Polytetrafluoroe- thylene - equivalent to wet ice on ice. It was first manufactured in quantity by E.I. duPont in 1943, and is marketed as Teflon™.\" Putting \"Poly\" Resins to Work Slick 50\'s secret is \"Poly\" - that\'s polytetrafluoroethylene - the same miracle chemical that keeps Teflon pans from sticking. But Poly by itself couldn\'t help your car engine (new or old) through winter cold and desert heat until Petrolon Corporation researchers discovered how to suspend \"Poly\" in motor oil in a way that made them fuse automatically to internal engine surfaces. The results are as logical as they are dramatic: a simple, one time, one quart treatment reduces engine friction and operating temperature. And because it works from the very second you start your engine (during those critical oil-starved seconds of start-up, before full oil circulation) until the time you shut it off, your valves and pistons will begin saying \"Thanks!\" with higher gas mileage, horsepower, and longer engine life. Skeptics Silenced: Endorsements Build But don\'t just take our word for it. We\'re already sold on Slick 50. Listen to what some unbiased experts have had to say. Here\'s confirmation from the respected, independent journal Consumer\'s Digest, in a March/April 1982 editorial feature: \"Slick 50 does reduce engine heat and ordinary wear, and our informal tests indicate that it will improve gas mileage by 2 or 3 m.p.g... Slick 50 does exactly what Petrolon claims it does.\" Independent tests carried out at universities and labs in both the United States and Europe have repeatedly borne out Consumers Digest\'s conclusions. And that\'s not to mention the rigorous Federal Aviation Agency. Mightily impressed by the results of intensive en- gine wear tests, the FAA granted its full, acceptance to a similar product - - Slick 50 Aircraft Treatment (F.A.R. #33.49) -- and they\'re not easy folks to convince! Eight \"Thank You\" Benefits Of course, your precise percentage gains will vary with your type of driving and vehicle condition. Here\'s what you can count on, regardless of the age of your car. Slick 50 will: 1. Make your car start more easily 2. Reduce engine friction and wear, especially during those oil-starved first seconds of start-up 3. Lower engine operating temperatures 4. Increase gas mileage 5. Boost your horsepower 6. Make your oil and engine last longer to help you avoid costly overhauls 7. Help make up for lubrication losses from new unleaded gasolines 8. Provide a probable lubrication safety margin in the event of sudden oil pressure loss. TV-Viewers Watch Torture Test Perhaps most dramatic of all was the torture test overseen by the Automotive Services Council of Pennsylvania and watched by thousands on TV 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 completely drained. With oil plugs removed, the cars were driven for about half an hour. Not only did the water temperature not rise, but thanks to Slick 50 - the engines sustained no apparent damage! Simple Two-Step Treatment Whether you want to reap Slick 50\'s benefits for new car or old, we\'re making it easy for you. First, we\'ll send you Slick 50. Second, you\'ll also get a free treatment of Wynn\'s™ renowned Engine Flush. A few minutes before your next oil change, clean out your motor by adding the oil system cleaner and let the engine idle for 5 minutes. Then drain the oil, change the filter and add fresh oil substituting Slick 50 for the last quart (the last two quarts with oil capacities of seven quarts or more.) Leaving Slick 50 in the crankcase for 3000 miles is all it takes to bond Slick 50 permanently to any engine - including turbo- charged, aluminum block, rotary or diesel engines. One treatment does it, no need to keep repeating during future oil changes. Slick 50 won\'t harm your engine or affect your new-car warranty; it\'s suspended in a high-grade petroleum oil (American Petroleum Institute service classification SF-CC-CD) that meets or exceeds all engine warranty require- ments. And it\'ll work with all compatible synthetics as well.Condition: There are no rips or tears. Vintage Print Ads may have condition flaws, most commonly surface toning due to age.
