Their website is at: http://www.natoint.com/
the way I read it, it's not anything like Slick 50
Basically, they claim that they have put a positive charge on natural oil so
that it is attracted to and sticks to the metal wear surfaces better than
regular oil.
Sounds good, but dunno if this is true or even possible.
Bob Kelly, a list member, sells it. I think he is a mechanic and he claims
that he has had success with this product in his own and his client's
vehicles. He is at: <bkelly@cwo.com
Good Luck,
