[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 430892, member: 19498"] Thats pretty incredible to not have had internal damages to say the least. I certainly recall when Slick 50 came out and Im not even sure if its still sold these days.I do recall reading a paper explaining why that particular lab or whatever they were claimed it to be unhealthy in engines. I recall a pint of ??? for auto trannies that was said to be the cats meow for trans longevity. Guy I bought my first Gen Ram Diesel swore by it. Anymore I think one can find as many bad stories as good regarding a particular product anymore. Im pretty anal about some things and try to use good quality lubes. Over the years Ive seen some pretty outlandish claims from one off lube distributors calming this and that and and their products were mediocre at best.Ive alsways used Chevron Industrial lubes in our equipment and had no issues. Years ago we were told to use ONLY Kolbenschmidt grease in our German built centrifuge. It was something like $30 a tube and warranty was voided if you didnt use it. Im familiar with the laws that say a MFG can say use ours or else but Im not sure if anybody made a equal by specs. One can spean endless days reading on lube technology these days. [/QUOTE]
