1520.0. "Friction reducers" by KERNEL::MCGOWAN () Thu Aug 01 1991 16:22

    Some mention had been made in past notes of friction reducing oil
    additives.  I saw an advert for Slik 50 in a magazine last week, and it
    occured to me, do you think that adding this to a lease car would
    invalidate the lease terms or warranty at all ?  My guess is that it 
    would, but what does the panel think ?

    Pete, re adding Slick 50 to a lease car. I don't 'own' a lease car as I
    have only just started working for Digital, instead I drive my own car.
    
    If you were to add Slick 50 to such a car, then how could anyone know
    that you had. Unless of course you told them, or someone saw you
    creeping around under cover of darkness glugging Slick 50 into your
    motor.
    
    Once it's in there and has mixed with the oil, then you won't be able
    to detect it. Lease terms and warranty should therefore not be
    affected. If however you were to add, say sand for instance to your oil
    as an 'additive', I'd have to say that your warranty/lease would be
    affected, along with peoples estimation of your sanity. Therefore DON'T
    do it (add sand that is); glug away with the Slick 50 though...
