Warning about Slick 50:  I used it in two Volvos.  After 12 months, both
Volvos had to have the main seals replaced.  I found that this is a common
problem with the solvent that is used to suspend the Teflon(TM) particles.
I have had 4 other Volvos which never had such a problem or actually never
had an engine problem in the 120,000 miles I kept each one of them, so I
feel that my problems were definitely Slick 50 related.
