"Marvel Mystery Oil"

I'm curios if folks still use this stuff. I have been using this additive in my vehicles since the 80's in both gas, 8 oz. to each fill up, and crank case ( 5-1 ) and considering to add to my newly acquired 98' Honda Foreman....it may help counter the 15% ethanol in our gas and can't be any worse to sensors than the crappy gas we are forced to buy!

ma, I put it in everything I've got with a motor on it. I had an old panhead that was SEIZED UP big time way back when--pulled the plugs & threw some Marvel in it, let it sit for a week or so & walla--changed the plugs & never touched it for 4 yrs.Ran like a bear, no smoke--nothing--

Yep, I still use it! I don't do all that every fill up stuff, about once every 6 mos & never have had any ethenal problems with anything

Yup. I love MM. Used it in the Chevy Nova when I built that and then used it in the Neon's 2.2 turbo motor when it was sitting on a stand. Haven't used it in anything recent though.

I can see putting it in the gas but wouldn't using it mixed in with the oil thin it out a lot? MSDS.

Conc.
o-Dichlorobenzene
(1,2-Dichlorobenzene (ortho-dichlorobenzene))
0 - 5%
Fine White Mineral Oil
70 - 100%
Mineral Spirits
20 - 30%

The solvents flash off pretty quickly. Adding 1 quart to a 5-6 quart sump will usually knock the oil down one SAE grade...e.g. 40w to 30w.

I've always had a can of MMO on the shelf.... inherited it from my Dad & there it sits...on the shelf. BUT... I do use it now & then for this & that. I keep it for when I seize a two stroke... THAT's when it gets used around here.

Been having trouble with my TBI on the plow truck & I got a good suggestion to use Marvel & a little dry gas & spray it down the throttle itself--we'll see how that works. Yep, it's good for a lot of stuff like Freddy said

Sounds a bit like Carter's Little Liver Pills. Good for whatever ails you, still used by old farts like us.

If the Marvel cocktail doesn't work try some Mouse Milk.

My lawnmower mechanic swears by it. Told me to put a cap full in the gas tank of my lawnmower on every fill-up.
