I gave it two oil changes and then two cans of slick 50. Wow, I don't think it smoked at all for the next four years that I owned it.
This has been my experience with Slick 50 as well. Back in the 80s I bought a very rough Alfa Romeo Alfetta.
I was a student at the time so money was tight. It had a smokey rattly engine and after adding some Slick 50 it quietened down and ran pretty well.
It still smoked some but it was a lot better. I kept that car for about 4 years and it served me well.

Eg. Mine was a 78 like this one.
