My dad came over the other day and gave me a bottle of this stuff. Marvel Mystery Oil. I always looked at this product as a gimic, and i'm still leery about it. I dont see how this can possibly work or be beneficial to the engine or fuel. Yet my dad swears by it.

As of now I refuse to use it. Anyone know if this stuff actually works and if its worth it?

 

You have a modern Japanese sports car, not a 1983 Buick Regal.



Don't ask me what that's supposed to mean. It just "fits."

 

I'm pretty sure our cars don't need it...

 

I know a lot of old school motorheads love and swear by it, although none of them could ever specifically tell me why. I figure if it wasn't in the FnF then who needs it.

 

Change your oil regularly and you'll never have to worry about using a product like this. In general, additives are just that - gimics.

 

love it I use it in the gas

 

"MYSTERY oil" that turns me off right there

 

Look at the MSDS and you'll see that it's not much of a "mystery":

Basically it's benzene, mineral spirits and naptha. All common solvents. If you took your engine apart and needed to clean sludge or other deposits, you certainly could use MMO to clean it.

 

My dad refers this to people who have minor transmission problems. It seems to help if a car has minor slippage. (Automatics) There are tons of products that will work to get you by but if you have a problem with your car, the only sure fix is to get it fixed. There isn't a liquid bandage for cars.

 

it will blow up! (no really) cough a rod

 

QFT...or something
