- Well, I've got 4 cars, a couple of which are more or less 'show' cars.
- They quite often will sit for several weeks at a time, and only my
- every day driver gets any real miles. Now, if you want to believe
- the Slick 50 adds, :-) after a period of time most of the oil film
- is off of the moving parts. (Actually, I think this is around two
- weeks, and is the only part of the Slick-50 advertising that I
- personally believe.) In this case a pre-oiler makes good sense. I have
- many 1000's of dollars in those motors...
