Marvel Mystery Oil
I've heard good things about Marvel Mystery Oil. Just curious how it
works since you can put it in the oil and gasoline tanks and does it work well still with newer cars, I have 05 Civic. Also, what's the best time to put it in like early/middle/late life of oil for oil. And for gasoline empty tank then fill, or after full tank? |

I used it 20 years ago as a gas additive in my Chevy small block. As far as I could tell, it did me no good. Not sure I'd want to subject my Honda fuel injectors to this stuff. If you feel the need to add something to your gas add a bottle of Chevron's Techron every now and again. AFAIK that stuff won't hurt anything and probably does some good. I'd never consider adding MMO to my oil because I don't know what it would do to the viscosity or how it would interact with the oil's additives. TeGGeR's right, clean oil is good oil. |

Marvel Mystery Oil
At least one of the major car companies - DC I think sez in the owners
manual that using crank case additives will void the warranty. Back in the days of lose engines - a increase in viscosity may have been a good thing - not today - will probably impede lubrication. Any modern oil that meets all of the current requirements will be fine - just change it and the filter and do it regularly. It never ceases to amaze me when I walk past the snake oil section of auto parts stores - people still buy that stuff. |

Marvel Mystery Oil
SEAFOAM! or LUCAS OILS FUEL TREATMENT! You can buy them both anywhere. Gas tank only though. I think that the only thing you should add to your oil is oil, and that's just if it's low. Mobil 1 is always my suggestion and change it at 3000 or sooner. As for MMO, I wouldn't want to trust something that is able to be used in the engine and in the fuel. Plus, you have a Honda!!! You don't have to do too much to those things and they'll still run forever, so don't fix what isn't broken. Run good gas, keep up on maintenance, and that's about it. See ya.

Marvel Mystery Oil
Start saving up money... to buy a new catalytic converter.
The whole concept of marvel oil is a little bogus. Gasoline already has a lot of oily components in it, and that is what lubes the upper cylinders well enough for engines to last 300,000+ miles. Now check out Brazil, which insisted on developing ethanol production to replace gasoline use. Result is, engines don't last at all. The alcohol has no lube qualities, and the engine is toast. |

Marvel Mystery Oil
The only thing I used Marvel Mystery Oil for when I was twisting wrenches
for a living, was to put a small amount in the inlets of my air tools, then blowing air through them before putting them away at night... I wouldn't put it inside an engine, not now, with all of the electronics and sensors, for sure... .. > wrote in message oups.com... > I've heard good things about Marvel Mystery Oil.
