Slick 50 is now a ‘ceramic’ engine treatment

[addyguy]

Glancing at the oil-additives section at work the other day, and the boxes of Slick 50 oil treatment now say ‘ceramic engine treatment’.
I just found it interesting that Slick 50 is the latest product to jump on the ‘ceramic’ bandwagon.

Watch out Liquimoly Ceratec...here comes....CERFLON!!!

I think I will stick with Prolong

 

[JustN89]

I'll stick with straight engine oil.

I'll stick with straight engine oil.

Prolong does wonders, especially in regards to preventing engine damage in the event of oil loss.

LOL! Whoo hoooo. I like that one Cerfalon. I clearly recall the class action lawsuits thrown at Slick 50 / DuPont and several other chemical companies and other magic quick fix snake oils. In addition to fines and things they were made to publish to the general public something to the effect , a statement like "this product , with teflon & other additives contains and can introduce harmful solid particles into your engine."

Now mix Prolong with Slick 50 and also Liqui Moly and you have the ultimate Snake Oil....

I heard somewhere that in Germany a product must be as hard as
Grandma‘s dinner plates to be labeled “ceramic“.

 

[Vercingetorix]

I like their One Lube spray.

Other than the fact that Prolong works, period.

prolong sounds like something that should be used in the bedroom.

Not going near my engine.. and of course it tests better than "pure" bright stock
Should try a zinc shampoo such as pert plus on that one armed bandit.

Prolong works, period.

Yea? Never heard of it. Does it come in a capsule form?

Why do you need it?

 

[Rand]

With a name like furious are you "Fast N Furious" or 2 fast 2 furious?

Questions to answer before using prolong on your engine.

I feel like this could be a trick question. But I will have to go with "Fast N Furious"

Got anything other than unverified infomercials to validate that statement?

That video is pretty straight forward to the point. There is plenty of other videos demonstrating it from independent testers, plenty of reviews of people having oil loss and Prolong saving their engine, which is interesting because it happened in my family as well, oil filter got damaged on the highway and it drove miles without oil, Prolong was in that engine, no damage this was of course over a decade ago so possibly formula differences now.
