My 02 chrysler 3.5 rattle's when starting cold runs perfect the rest of the day the car has 177,000 miles and is a one owner will 50 help?

Slick 50 is useful when the engine is new or almost new. At this mileage, if you have problems, like excessive oil burn and low cylinder compression, I think, you should rebuilt the engine and thereafter use slick 50.

It can't hurt. I would try Tuff-Oil, it still has PTFE in it, Slick no longer has PTFE.

No. The rattle is just normal wear on a car with high miles, don't lose sleep over it. The only way to fix it is with a remanufactured head or perhaps entire engine if it's not valvetrain noise. As long as the engine is quiet when it's warm and oil pressure is normal you're fine.

Good question Jack... all I can suggest is you read my review and any reply's I've made to other comments and reply's. From what I can tell, Slick 50 is oil with "magic stuff" in it (the "people" at Slick 50 call "magic stuff" proprietary ingredients). IF you believe in "magic stuff" then buy Slick 50. Just find yourself a good, honest mechanic and get his/her opinion and guidance. btw, don't drink some of the "koolaid" you read here... lot's of "hearsay" and "truthiness" abounds. hth, HiP

I don't think it will help with the rattle, but it will reduce the amount of friction that regular oil takes care of. It is like putting Teflon in your engine. I think it increases the life of the engine. I have no proof of that, I have always added it to all my vehicles thinking that whenever you reduce the friction on your engine, it can't help but increase your engine life.

Can't hurt for at least one oil Change. I don't think the "rattle" will go away, immediately, but it's my understanding that Slick 50 "coats" the moving parts with a "teflon-like" film. It's funny you bring this up: I had an '07 Pontiac with the same valve clatter/rattle. I switched to a full synthetic oil in a lighter weight (5W30) and the rattle went away. That Pontiac had 450K-miles on it when I traded it, last summer. I AM a Slick-50 man but I prefer the original formula and I'm not sure the heavier viscosity oil products would help your problem. Today, I think I'd try the 5W30 in either a synthetic blend; or, maybe, even, a straight oil. What have you got to loose....? Good luck. Can't hurt for at least one oil Change.

I've been using Slick 50 since 1978 on every car i've had, and it never has failed to make my engine's perform better and quieter. I even used it on my riding tractor mower, with a Briggs & Statton 8 hp motor, that was 15 years old, and it ran faster and quieter than when it was brand new. Ted Smith, Myrtle Beach, SC

I was afraid of the same thing before I installed mine, but since I have installed it I haven't had any hassle from the dealership when I go in for routine maintenance. It could be a factor if the engine fails in the future due to some unrelated problem. Hope this helps

One key plus new one is all you need. My husband checked the yellow pages under Auto Diagnostic Service. Found nearby 'Top Tech' on second call. Saved $$$$ over dealer!Two years later we are driving a new Chrysler and using GOOGLE. I plugged in your specific ? It provided several links including a site with instructions for do-it yourselfers. Good luck!

Mine had no check engine light come on.Dont forget to reset CPU. Still have car as its so reliable.Best of Luck.

We have no idea. We are Chrysler racers and have been using these for years. Sorry I couldn't help!

Tighten the center nut on top of the strut. It only takes being loose a quarter of turn to cause a rattle.

My part fitted right. I replaced uppper struts, lower struts, engine mount and AT mount. Cars still vibrates some. in Dodge forum they told me the OEM chrysler parts are more fluid. also check out http://www.deyemeracing.com/products.asp

No clue. Extremely generic packaging with no labels. I can say that 15K+ miles later I've had zero issues - cranking the AC all summer in 90+ deg heat and the Jeep still ran cool without any leaks or issues.

How long will this last in hours not smart alec remarks, I need to know how expensive this car is to run! Answer please!

my '95 k1500 has 273k miles and i installed it. still need to rebuild the clutches and band however, but helped my truck push my 35's on the stock 3.73 gears noticeably.

Your warranty will be fine. Helps breath a bit better. Will add some motor noise as well. I saw maybe a mile increase at most.

When you cold start in the morning it does kind of have a hiss sound but is heard only when you are outside the car. Its only loud past 4000 rpm witch most cars don't go over on daily driving and also if your vtec engages its loud but sounds good.

Hi Yasin, Can't say I'm sorry as Chrysler used different TPMS with different frequencies on various models. Your best bet is to get your VIN number and log onto a US Chrysler dealers parts inventory. Find the correct one and then find the matching one in the Dormer range. Cheers.

No problems with mine. Went in perfect! Not one issue in 2 + years. This strong starter fixed my cold weather starting issues.

I used it on a 2004 Cadillac with Northstar V8 that was leaking coolant from the head and it has worked perfectly. I have not put an drop of coolant in for over 8000 miles....Will it work on your engine? I don't see why not....I had a mechanic do mine because I did not feel like doing it in the cold...The instructions must be followed.

I've got about 1.5 miles with no problem. I would find 50 very hard to believe. They do quite well and much better than regular FRS.
