Auto Burnt Fluid!!!

posted by  someone claiming to be Charlane, Queen of the Damned Today on  Thu Nov 21 08:15 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Drain the oil and put Slick 50 in it! Since the chassis of my old Mercedes is bent and it gets hot causing the radiator to release too much fluid into the overflow which then burns oil, I have to keep checking the water and add about one quart of oil every 500 miles. Since the oil becomes soup before long I changed viscosity to 10W30 weight to buy time between changes. Another thing I have to stand on top of is tire inflation which really sucks as my front right tire has a weak stem but I carry my trusty little compressor with me. Just a little FYI. My '92 Hyundai went for over 400000 miles on Slick 50 BTW.

It does sound like your clutch too. I used Slick 50 for manual trannies (90 weight) also. If you are burning clutches then you might be having increased resistance. Have you checked your front-end lately?
