Slick50 or ZX1 or nothing?

[jc1380s]

Has anyone tried either of these Oil Additives / Friction Eliminators in their engines and got any good or bad reports about them?

I have used both in the past (but not at the same time!) and don't know if they work or not as I have never had any major problems with the 1380 engine (does that mean that they do work )

Is it value for money (£20 / £25) or is just doing the regular oil and filter changes with good quality oil enough to protect your engine for the future ?

We've always used ZX1 in all our cars and heavy plant and never had any engine problems, we've also used it as a fuel additive, maybe it's worked or maybe we've just been lucky
Tried Slick50 once and didn't think much of it so went back to ZX1

Hmmmmm.
I think i used Slick 50 in my early rally days.
Wether it worked or not is open to debate because i used to strip the engine down regularly and change the bearings and oil pump as a matter of course.
Needless to say, i did have engine failure sometimes but that was usually caused by something else breaking or failing.
Because the oil and filter was changed at VERY regular intervals i stopped using Slick 50.
So in retrospect, my experience with it is not really a fair reflection on it's Anti friction etc, properties.
It would be better suited to a cooking road engine than a mental short - stroke motah.
