Additives

[Has Been]

Anyone use oil crankcase additives such as Slick 50 or other in their I/O? Figured it might be good for trolling low RPM & oil pressure.

I put Lucas addatives in anything that I don't put synthetic in.

I would say a good quality oil is enough, Lucas or full synthetic. I like using the amsoil products, with them there is no need for anything extra.

I used slick 50 back in 1977 in a 6 v 92 series Detroit diesel. It's more for adding a teflon bonding to bearings and cylinder walls. I didn't notice any benefit from it and it was very expensive.

For everything I own I put Lucas products in and have never had a problem with it and also notice benefits in oil pressure with the crankcase additive. The fuel treatment is very effective in diesel and gas applications. Power gains and mileage are the most noticed benefit. My Yamaha 225 two stroke has run much smoother and water in the fuel has been negligent. It helps with upper cylinder lubrication as well which is always a good thing in a two stroker. Lucas is all I use.

It is simply Lucas fuel treatment, and it can be used effectively in both diesel and gas applications. I use the ratio they recommend at one quart per 100 gallons of fuel, either gas or diesel. It goes in my kicker tank too. It is around $20 a gallon, depending on where you get it, but the best price is usually in case form if you got the extra cash to get the price break.
