Re: Marvel Mystery Oil
I know several "old time" wrench benders who use the stuff for everything, including an airplane mechanic (85yo works 6 days/week) , who uses it for stuck rings,valves,lifters and general "tune up in a can". The stuff preceeds the FAA, so they really don't have a "rule" that covers it use. The old FAA guys know it works, and the new FAA types don't know anything........

Re: Marvel Mystery Oil
I've also used this for many years and it never has failed me for what I was using it for. Great product.
Works great in the oil before a change to clean out a motor that has not been serviced properly with oil changes. |

Re: Marvel Mystery Oil
Ok Glider, you got me here on this. Use Marvel Mystery Oil before an oil change. Not sure how that works. Lets say I am changing my oil. So instead of put in 4 quarts, I would use 3 quars and the last quart would be a quart of MMO? Then run just ride until the next oil change?

Re: Marvel Mystery Oil
It can be used when changing oil like you say but keep it to about 1/2 pint in the oil doing it like this with fresh oil.
The post was meant to use it before an oil change without over filling the oil to clean out the engine and remove any sludge with the old oil. |

Re: Marvel Mystery Oil
Everytime I see the product benefits of this stuff, I just laugh and think to myself
ANOTHER SNAKE OIL PRODUCT!!!!. If this product was promoted anywhere else, thats exactly what I would think. Seeing however that everyone on this board has nothing but praise for this stuff, it would be worth a try. My problem is, I live on Mars and no one has heard of this stuff here. |

Re: Marvel Mystery Oil
How often should you / could you use MMO in the fuel? I have been using 2 oz in every fuel fill up. Is this good or bad.

I have always changed my oil at the reccomended oil change intervals, having said that I assume this product to have no benefits to a well maintained engine, Im not a fan of adding additives to my motor just my opinion.

The reason for the MMO in the fuel is cleaning and lubricating where the engine oil SHOULD not be. TQ |

Re: Marvel Mystery Oil
MMO story. Happened this year. I have a friend that moved from California to North Carolina (where I live). He hauled the bike in the back of his truck here. I'm storing his bike while he finds a house. When we unloaded his bike 2005 Road King (with some work done). It was making a terrible racket, at least one of the lifters was not pumping up. Ran it for a few minutes, no joy. So he pulled it in and parked it. On advice from a trusted mutal friend. We drained a pint of oil out and added a pint of MMO. The lifter pumped up within 1 minute.
