I use a full synthetic oil with a small amount of Slick 50. My car doesn't burn any oil and will occasionally leak a drop or so on the driveway. Using the synthetic oil with the additive does help the transmission shift very well.
Also, I am getting in the 45 -- 50 MPG range (this is as compared to 40 to 45 MPG with Castrol GTX 20-50). If you ever think your engine is overheating, head into a carwash and cool it down. Just don't heat the hot metal with cold water.
stand back and mist the engine initially (running of course). Keep the cooling fins clean and make sure your shrouds are properly in place.
Every 600 I have had, on of the first thing to do is pull the fan and check its bearing. replace if any noise is made. But even as important is to keep the plastic fan blades clean. They usually have baked on dirt. that lowers fan efficiency. It takes me about an hour to clean and polish the 600's cooling fan.
