I treated both of my Volvos with slick-50.  I didn't notice any change in
performance, but the gas mileage on one went up about 15% and the other 5%
until they were about equal.  However a year later I had to replace the oil
seals in both cars.  I'd rather pay for gas rather than oil seals.  If you
have ever tried to seal anything to teflon, you know how difficult it is
and when slick-50 got on my oil seals, the seals didn't seal anymore.
