HondaB20B, why would you use oil treatment especially with the setup you are running?
I thought the beast was rather picky on oil related issues.

Engine Treatment Oil MT105 has been developed as a part of Mugen engine components and is used for racing engines, including F1.

SLICK-50


no.....

no oil treatment, it's all hype. all it does at the end of the day is compromise the oil package, mess up clearances and do thing that are generally unpleasant.

It's tempting to use it I'll admit but if Honda R&D approves the OEM oil package, why add something else to it that, based on their research, has no purpose being in there.....I mean, if their engines are so good, don't you think the oil they supply should be equally good?

Never used this stuff on a honda before as I only run straight up honda oil or 20w50 havoline... but I used to use Lucas Oil stabilizer on my Firebird.... they make good stuff.

But honestly, with the type of clearances used on a stock honda 4 cylinder... I wouldn't use a treatment, the change in viscosity is disturbing.

I have been using the Slick-50 for years.. Remember its just an ENGINE LUBRICANT COATING that is used once in every 100K. I used it on a Mazda engine and got extremely good service outa that engine. Lasted me years with little engine block and ring wear ( engine was burning 'white' up until when i sold the car ) with a north/south run on a daily basis. I applied it to my B16A and so far, every thing running good. I am due to open up my engine this week for routine maintenance.. so I will see what it looks like. I have also been using Castrol 20W50 for all those years. :mrgreen:
