will slick 50 help if your truck is having an oil consumption issue like is common on 2007-2009 Chevrolet trucks?

Slick 50 will likely get "consumed" just like regular oil. If your truck has a consumption issue, NO additive will help in any meaningful way nor will it fix the "problem". Take it to a good mechanic and find out WHY it is "consuming" oil, and if your truck is worth it, have it repaired. hth.Stay happy,HiP

Slick 50 is Great for any engine with over 50,000.00 miles on it, and then add a Quart every other 50,000.00 miles to your reg. oil change. If you wait for a engine problem to start and then think you are going to add a can or jug of instant fix. well it just does not work that way. Sorry. I have been using Slick 50 since 1983 when it was $35.00 a quart. it is the best product I have ever used. and now they have stopped selling it around where I live anyway. Have a Great Day

I have no idea. The paperwork with it did not mention oiling and I can not find a spot to do so.

Hi, I am not familiar with bike engines. What I knew is that Slick 50 is very good for engines with oil pan without any interference with clutch.

if there is a better chip, I'm not aware of it . I have a 2500hd with a 6.0 L gas motor, K&N air box and filter. I programmed the chip for Towing. It definitely added Throttle response. But I can't say Ive noticed any mileage improvements. With the performance enhancements I think I drive the Truck a little harder. Also the chip requires premium fuel. Bottom Line if your trying to save money on fuel you'll probably be disappointed.

Probably, I have a 2005 chevy silverado with 5.3 and it worked for me. Try taking to old one off and remove the Large top and wash it out. I took my old one apart and that was the problem with it.

I've been using Slick 50 since 1978 on every car i've had, and it never has failed to make my engine's perform better and quieter. I even used it on my riding tractor mower, with a Briggs & Statton 8 hp motor, that was 15 years old, and it ran faster and quieter than when it was brand new. Ted Smith, Myrtle Beach, SC

Changing the oil on this and all of my small engine equipment always seems more annoying than it ought to be. I purchased a PELA oil extractor (a hand vacuum pump that sucks the oil from the dipstick port at the end of season, when the engine is warm but not hot), this has made the task cleaner/simpler and has been a worthwhile purchase.

If its oil injection it will work fine since the pump regulates the oil amount delivered to the fuel. This oils has 24:1 to 10o:1 mix ratio.

If you're new to nitro definitely look at temperature gun and after run oil and always run all the gas out if you're not going to run it in the next couple of days WD40 works fine for after run oil I've got a slayer 4x4 and a 4 tec been having the truck about a year and haven't had to change a part yet it's very durable

Good question Jack... all I can suggest is you read my review and any reply's I've made to other comments and reply's. From what I can tell, Slick 50 is oil with "magic stuff" in it (the "people" at Slick 50 call "magic stuff" proprietary ingredients). IF you believe in "magic stuff" then buy Slick 50. Just find yourself a good, honest mechanic and get his/her opinion and guidance. btw, don't drink some of the "koolaid" you read here... lot's of "hearsay" and "truthiness" abounds.hth,HiP

Refer to your owners Manuel. Newer diesels require a special oil because of the urea injection into your exhaust. If you don't use recommended oil you will ruin this system.

The Edge Programmer can get you a couple more MPG, you will need to play with it to "tune" it in. Such as changing the wheel size in the programmer, I bought a similar model but for diesel. Expect about 2-3 MPG. A cold air intake may also help. It did on my diesel, gas I'm not sure.

I'd check your owners manual but generally GM specifies 10-30 weight oil. Depending on your mileage the move to synthetic can improve gas mileage slightly and assist the engine in running a bit cooler as less friction. If your engine has any leaks it may exacerbate them. Once you switch to synthetic you should stick with it.

I don't believe so, Rick. Mainly for cleaning injectors, valves, and stabilizing fuel. I know a lot of people who like the Lucas Oil Treatment, though, for engine noise and protection. I just very recently switched to it, myself, since Slick 50 sold out and changed their formula. Too recent to know the results, yet. Kevin
