dropdoc

i just put it in my tank aobut 5k ago, but as far as i cna tell its no difference, but i just do it cuz it makes me feel like the engine will last longewr, true or not who knows.

I used the slick-50 lube on my M-60 machine gun instead of CLP (MilSpec lube) when I was in the Navy. Liked it so much I put it in my cars.

Don't know about the fuel treatment.

prolong.. cant go wrong with prolong

BG 44K. Or Techron.

I second Bill Morgan's recommendations. BG44K is what Toyota has always recommended to me.

I was thinking about using the oil treatment. One day at Wal Mart I ran into an older couple who said they had used it in a big block GM motor home. It gave better fuel economy. They recommended it to everyone in their RV Club. All of the big block GMs with Slick 50 blew. It apparently causes a lubrication failure after a while. The dealer wouldn't honor the warranty and they felt ostracized from the other club members.
I doubt that a Toyota would have near enough friction to benefit on mpg. The GMs were 454 ci minimum.

I used the Slick 50 fuel treatment and within one tank full, I felt a noticable difference in performance. I recommend it.

Don't put anything with PTFE in it in your engine!

That is the active ingredient in most of these 'miracle" products and it is basically Teflon. Dupont, maker of Teflon actually was sued by Slick 50 because they were telling people not to put Teflon products in their i.c. engines. Amazingly, the courts ruled that Dupont had to stop telling people not to use the product that they themselves developed.
