Engine treatment? Slick50?
I think he means the engine booster that AK47 sells

I just won these LCI taillights off ebay!! It costs 285pounds + Shipping to HK, it wasnt the cheapest but it costs only 1/6 of the original (At least am happy)
What i need now is to get Bruce's retrofit kit to make it work in order to get rid of the strobing and error codes.

congrats cant wait to see it installed

yes slick50 is a better known brand but allegedly clogs oil filter, there are others on the market that claim to work better.
if itis the slicks stuff I don't bother.
like ak47 says it better just changing the oil more often.
If the car was built 15 years ago then yes I will use something like that.

I need to get my oil change soon aswell (approaching 7K since the last service)
Which brand of oil do you guys suggest? The oil that AK used was okey but i think there are more choices on the market.
