    Marvel mystery oil is good stuff. I’d be leary of marvins mystery oil, but everything is worth trying once.

    Derek at VGG is a big fan. In a modern working truck - what would you use it for?

    All it does is thin the oil. As far as fuel is concerned you want a high PEA content. I don’t think it has any. I run Redline SL1 every oil change.

    We use it in the airplane. Add it to the fuel tanks. Why? Cause the FAA sez we can't.

    As a oil tribologist has stated - if you are using a oil that needs a additive, you are using the wrong oil -

    I'm of the opinion that oil additives are all snake oil that won't do a damn thing other than possibly damage your engine.

    No, it won't besides, that's marketed for a diesel engine.

    I run it in my F250 diesel, my Tundra, my 4Runner, generators and every combustion engine I have and they all run smoother..
    It’s not just for diesel engines, it’s more noticeable in diesel engines.
    I run it in my aircraft as well and if it were snake oil I’d never consider running it in an AC.

    Plain old M1 from Wally World seems to do okay for me.

    if you have an old junker that's seized up put a cup full down each spark plug hole and let it sit overnight, then it might budge...thats what it does loosen up mechanical bits by creeping
