Slick 50 is a brand owned by Quaker State, which was acquired by Pennzoil several years ago.

Their original Slick 50 now also comes with 4 bottle of Quaker State dino oil (High Performance mark) and sells for $12. They also have the new Slick 50 Synchrotron that supposedly uses
a synthetic oil as a carrier for their so-called PTFE suspensions.

Teflon requires a temperature of 800 degrees Celcius in order to stick to a metal surface. If your car's cylinder head somehow reaches that temperature, that's its doomsday already.

Teflon PTFE (-CF2CF2-) n (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a polymer and it can block good oil filter element, causing oil starvation to your engine.

If you want the best oil for your engine, use "pure" synthetic oil.
Instead of buying $20 Slick 50 Synchrotron (one quart) and $5 for
extra 5 dino quarts (6 quarts total), you can just buy 6 quarts of
Mobil 1 or Valvoline SynPower synthetic oil for the same price.
