No No NO NO NOOO! Slick 50 is a hoax! It is a scientific fact that you cannot cause teflon to "bond" as they claim to the interior working parts of your database. I had a DBA friend who dumped Slick 50 into his RS/6000 in an effort to get better use out of his under-sized SGA and BLAMO! All of his control files got corrupted. You positively do not want to do this.
