Title: Gas and oil Post by hotrod on 12/19/16 at 11:03:11 Anyone using Marvel Mystery Oil in their bikes ? |

Title: Re: Gas and oil Post by Gary_in_NJ on 12/19/16 at 11:27:55 There's nothing marvelous or mysterious about it, it's 5w oil. I see no benefit of adding 5w oil to either the fuel or oil. Adding oil to the fuel makes your mixture lean. Adding 5w oil to the oil tank lessens the amount of 40w oil in the tank. |

Title: Re: Gas and oil Post by Papa Bear on 12/19/16 at 18:14:12 MMO is more than 5W oil .. it has solvents as well A good old tribologist at BobIsTheOilGuy username Molakule did a University lab test on MMO and posted it here https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/3442362/1/Laboratory_Analysis_of_MMO |

Title: Re: Gas and oil Post by eau de sauvage on 12/19/16 at 22:59:37 According to Wikipedia... However, it was implicated in at least one aircraft accident where an engine suffered catastrophic damage during take-off after Mystery Oil had been used as a fuel additive |

Title: Re: Gas and oil Post by hotrod on 12/20/16 at 03:01:31 I'm sure that using Rotella and changing the oil on time is the best way to go. My use for MMO would be maybe to add some to the gas and oil about 100 miles before a oil change, thinking that it might keep the clutch plates clean, and the carb also. |

3 in 1 works better, if for no other reason it's easy to add 2 or three drips from the container. |

Title: Re: Gas and oil Post by Ruttly on 12/20/16 at 06:42:59 Yeah but one can of mmo will last a lifetime for air tool oil and 3n1 is pricey |

Title: Re: Gas and oil Post by justin_o_guy2 on 12/20/16 at 10:05:03 WHY was a fuel additive used? Engine acting up? Very faulty logic being applied. |

In older air cooled aircraft engines the lead in the fuel was used to lubricate the valves in the valve guides. When AVGAS 130 was banned and replaced by 100LL, some pilots used MMO as a "top oil" to lubricate the valve train. |

Title: Re: Gas and oil Post by Flint on 12/20/16 at 14:04:19 C-85 and O-200/O-300 Continentals are prone to having lead deposits build up on exhaust valve stems. MM helps soften deposits and prevents valves sticking. I used to use it all the time on my Cessna 150. |

There's no documentation that MMO actually does anything in Continental, Lycoming and Franklin engines. It's all "well I've made TBO twice on my engine" type stuff. Well Mr. I made TBO may have run his engine for two hours every day and always operated with the perfect mixture, keeping CHT in the sweet-spot. That's why he made TBO - the MMO was just along for the ride. I've never used any additive, and in 1,800 hours SMOH have never had a sticky valve issue. Luck? Proper operation? Lycoming? Maybe all three. |
