marvel mystery oil

:)I have used MMO for 40 years in the gas and feel that it has lived up to the ads. It is great for preventing vapor lock!!
 
i use it in my flathead at every fill up and before an oil change,it smoothes out the ride and cleans out the engine during the oil change.But in reality how many of us go for cures in a bottle?..MMO works in my opinion.
 
Rub a little MMO on you male pattern baldness, (read the fine print) It helps slow it down!

On this forum ( do a search ) there is the findings of some test performed on additives ( MM,Sea Foam ,etc,etc ) and the effect on an engine . The test found that these additives wash the lubrication off the cylinder walls .
 
The Psychological Placebo

"You have to wonder, with the volume of evidence accumulating against oil additives, why so many of us still buy them. That's the million-dollar question, and it's just as difficult to answer as why so many of us smoke cigarettes, drink hard liquor or engage in any other number of questionable activities. We know they aren't good for us - but we go ahead and do them anyway.

Part of the answer may lie in what some psychiatrists call the psychological placebo effect. Simply put, that means that many of us hunger for that peace of mind that comes with believing we have purchased the absolute best or most protection we can possibly get.

Even better, there's that wonderfully smug feeling that comes with thinking we might be a step ahead of the pack, possessing knowledge of something just a bit better than everyone else.

Then again, perhaps it comes from an ancient, deep-seated need we all seem to have to believe in magic. There has never been any shortage of unscrupulous types ready to cash in on our willingness to believe that there's some magical mystery potion we can buy to help us lose weight, grow hair, attract the opposite sex or make our engines run longer and better. I doubt that there's a one of us who hasn't fallen for one of these at least once in our lifetimes. We just want it to be true so bad that we can't help ourselves."

MMO is great for old, stuck engines. I aquired a 1938 Allis-Chalmers mod B. (see my pictures) They can be notorious for getting stuck from non use. A little MMO and over night to let it work and Viola! It turned once again. Some will tell you it's just ATF with some perfume. Remember, MMO is from 1923 and ATF dates from the mid to late 30s. The effect is much more than just "feel good".

I use a gallon jug of MMM (Walmart $14) with 7 quarts Rotella
and an FL-1995 Motorcraft oil filter every 4000 miles

I change oil myself

I get cooler and smoother running engine with
a mile per gallon fuel increase

Can't argue with proven results .... ;)

One time on a long nightime tour one guy on the trip put MMO in his gas tank before filling it with gas. When we were ready to go his car wouldn't start. Moral- put the MMO in after the gas.
 
I have seen mmo for gas wich is thin like like most gas additives and then there is just the plain mmo. Are you folks talking about the old mmo?
 
thanks Glenn, i never thought of what one to put in first....i did that with my snowblower once and had to flush it all out.
