Although I too do not trust in Slick 50, it is highly unlikely that this product would cause the mixing of oil with your anti-freeze. That type of problem is generally caused by the failure of a gasket that seals both coolant and oil channels, or a crack in the metal between the two channels. i.e.:head gaskets or cylinder walls. There is some evidence of PTFE additives causing a blockage of narrow oil passages because of its adherance characteristics, and it is this that we should be concerned with, along with the price of the product. Synthetic oil is still the best scientifically proven guarantee against engine wear.
