I summarized them. But, it looks no benefits been detected by most of the people who has used it. Only one has positive response which includes better gas mileage, more power and less maintenance. Luckly, no response said any negative result. It seems that the worst result you could get by using SLICK 50 is wasting money. ( Be care for!! That is just my guess.) At the same time, I like to ask another question about my Civic since I saw some people talking some Honda's problems. I have an '82, model 1300FE. It has ~24k miles on it now. Since it was only ~10k miles, I noticed that it started pinging under only moderate acceleration. The timing is OK. I just changed spark plugs. I also try super unleaded gas, and use lower gear to run engine in higher rpm. But nothing helps. I wonder if the vacuum advance is too much under moderate acceleration. I like to try reducing it, but don't know how. I appreciate if anyone has any idea to solve this problem. Thanks in advance. {decvax,ucbvax}!decwrl!qubix!philip {ittvax,amd70}!qubix!philip decwrl!qubix!philip@Berkeley.ARPA -- Philip Wang @ QUBIX Graphic Systems, Inc., Saratoga, CA. ...{decvax,ucbvax,ihnp4}!decwrl! ...{ittvax,amd70}!qubix!philip decwrl!qubix!philip@Berkeley.ARPA
