The mysterious Marvel
kevdog3019:
Ok, I'll preface this by saying I'm not a hocus pocus type but do like to keep an open mind. I decided to try Marvel Mystery Oil for the first time in my fuel for kicks. I've never heard it kills an engine, so...
Did my first application recently at just over half the recommended amount. Did this in the super Lario with higher compression, etc.
What I've noticed is a heightened idle and the bike runs well. Not sure yet that it runs better than before, but it certainly runs at least as well. More time will tell.
This stuff consists of naptha, rubbing alcohol and a minor dash of some woop dee doo. I've looked at the specs. So... it appears that this would slightly raise the octane rating? Is that correct? Basically aren't you just adding a little more alcohol to the mix? Just want to wrap my head around this. I suspect higher octane with higher compression could lend a helpful hand.
Anyone have their own findings? Don't mean to start another oil thread, but since Sea Foam got it's due respect...

I've only used it in my air tools, they work great with it in there!

I use it in the crank case on my older vehicles. It really cleans up the engine. We have a 2001 civic that was turning the fresh oil dirty every oil change. We started using the marvel and after a couple oil changes the oil was staying clean until the next service... why does it work?? Its a mystery

I always thought it was pure snake oil. then had a stuck lifter on the old Old's, poured some into the engine and it fixed it! really!
menzies:
Mix it half and half with Acetone and it will free up a stuck engine and many other things.
