Hi everyone - just bought a silver 06, base, but I love it.

Does anyone here recommend using slick 50 at the next oil change?

It seems a good idea but I wonder about its compatibility with this engine?

Anyone used it?

 

Welcome to the forums.

No, I wouldn't do it.
Slick 50 and similar products were a fad in the 90's.

Most of us would recommend using a HQ synthetic oil instead.
I use Redline.

I heard that slick 50 gels up in extreme cold... I wouldn't use it

 

i would suggest amsoil 0w-30

 

never heard that before nor experienced it...but I did put it into a 72 240Z back in the day...inline 6 with over 100K miles on it..always idled rough and after slick 50 it idled like a sewing machine and ran better and got better gas mileage as well as starting easier...but in an 06? no..use mobil 0w40 full synthetic..

That's just what i heard...Didn't say it was facts...I still wouldn't use it none-the-less

 

stop being cheap and just buy synthetic oil

 

Thanks for all the comments and views.


She gets good synthetic oil, I just wondered if she would need slick 50 as well as a good oil. I too had had good experience of slick 50 in an old '86 Alfa Romeo but maybe I'll leave it at that.
