We measured the slippage of 4He films adsorbed on Grafoil using the quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) technique. The slippage of 4He films depended on the oscillating amplitude. In a large oscillating amplitude of a 5.0 MHz quartz crystal, 4He films underwent slipping gradually below a certain temperature. On the other hand, in a small oscillating amplitude, another additional increase appeared.
