Re: Marvel's Mystery Oil & California
I like MMO and have used it for 30+ years.
My bride grew up in Haight-Ashbury and we both love Northern California, just don't have deep enough pockets to live there. besides, 75% of the grandchildren are in the east. sure, California is overdeveloped and poorly governed but so is my favorite city, Asheville NC. unless you move out in the woods that's just how it is in 21st century USA

[QUOTE=shew01;1855424]OK, Thanks. It sounds like it is not the same as we used to have.

Re: Marvel's Mystery Oil
MMO consists of a naphthalenic rather than a paraffinic base. There is also a halogenated component. The combination of those two permits it to penetrate gummed up and oxygen linked polymerized parafinic oil deposits that stick valves, lifters, and rings.
The second part of it all is an ester oil content. (the 'wintergreen mint oil' you smell) Esters are superior lubes that are categorized as synthetics in the oil industry. That's why it works- solvent power plus synthetic lube. Specifically, the ester methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil) is also an excellent polar penetrant for metallic oxides residing on the surface of metal parts. I guess those three added together have resulted in it's reputation as one of the better 'snake oils'. |

Re: Marvel's Mystery Oil
Yes, MMO is not shopping everywhere because of "questionable" ingredients. It is no longer imported in Germany. I picked up the last 3 gallons in Belgium.

Re: Marvel's Mystery Oil
Think I have also read that SeaFoam in the gas and oil can help sticky valves.
