The only thing Slick 50 will do is ruin an engine or transmission.

PTFE is a coating product. Dupont, the creators and makers of PTFE say
that is can never produce any positive effective in an engine or when
used as a lubricant. It is not a lubricant, its a solid material and is
used as a coating for surfaces. If you dump it in oil, its just a solid
particle that floats around in the oil and scratchs or clogs up things.

See the FTC's web page to see what the government is doing to try to
prevent the company from making false claims about the product.
