I've used STP oil treatment in the past, looks like oil but thicker. Never had any problems with it, sticks like glue to plain metal surfaces...

Or you could use something similar to Slick 50 called PTFE 4 oil made by a company called Add-it from Doncaster, as good as Slick 50 but less than half the price that way it is protected while standing and running.

As good as slick 50 ?

So crap then ?

PTFE is a solid, not designed to be mixed with oil and used to lubricate an engine.

Slick50 = snake oil

IMHO of course
