Where does one find this Marvel Mystery Oil?  Can you purchase it at any auto parts or does it need to be ordered?   Thanks!

Any auto parts store-------Walmart----------Whatever. Comes in pints, quarts, and gallon plasic jugs, clear plastic with red fluid inside---------Great stuff.

Thanks, jcd520!  Been tryin' to remember the name of this stuff for months.  Never could remember to ask OTIS.  Another benefit of being a member of this Great Site!  Later--HUBBARD

 :2vrolijk_21:Been using it for years in crankcase and fuel. I always carry some on long trips when high heat will be an issue. Quiets lifters.

Makes exhaust smell good too...I believe it to be a mineral oiled kerosene with red dye in it...

That red dye is a good feature too, you can always tell where it is when lubricating something or if you need to find a leak.   Doc

It is the Old Timer trick for sure. Had an uncle that ran it in everything and would probably drink it if he could get away with it. To his credit he drove a Model T ford truck every day and this was in the 70s - 80s.

Ayuh   A little snot of  Marvel Mystery and some WD-40 on those creaky joints in the mornin and a man can live to be 100

Here is a analysis of MMO.  I have been using this for years with great results. http://www.lcdinc.com/products_fuel_power.php

70% Light Aromatic Oil (Pale Oil)
- It is a Naphthenic Oil, so while it oxidizes faster than a Paraffinic oil, it does clean and dissolve sludge and carbon well and cleans up after itself from any oxidation. serves as base oil as well. [Naphthenic oils have more solvency and are more polar (they are attracted to metal more), but oxidize faster.

29% Mineral Spirits
- Cleans Varnish very well. General cleaner. Also acts as an antioxidant.

38 parts per million (ppm) Boron
- AW/EP agent, friction reducer, antioxidant

900 ppm Phosporous
- AW/EP agent

1/2% 1, 2 ortho-Dichlorobenzene
- EP agent as it interacts with Iron to form an Iron chloride barrier under any ZDDP or other AW additives. Also very good cleaner/solvent, and friction reducer

1/4% 1, 4 para-Dichlorobenzene
- EP agent as it interacts with Iron to form an Iron chloride barrier under any ZDDP or other AW additives. Also very good cleaner/solvent, and friction reducer

Oil of wintergreen - for the scent
- Not just for the cent, is also a cleaner. may aid lubricity.

Red Dye - for the color
- well this one just colors the stuff

               You do these tests yourself or find them posted somewhere ?
 
                Oh well, I know a few 81's that are chemists too come to think of it.

THANK YOU MISTER WIZARD!!!!!! Damn--don't know if I can use this stuff anymore now that I have all that knowledge.-------------Seriously lefty-----thanks, I always knew it was great stuff but now I know why. Some things you just take as being a fact----------kinda like Heinz ketchup --------It's just the best , no point talking about it.

[jcd520]

And by the way-----------I noticed this topic has been moved twice----------How bout a  Lubricants Topic . I didn't know where to put it so I just put it under my kind of bike and let nature take it's course.

Oooops---------you are right! Now who has their head up their you know what----------------ME!!!

I have a lot of oil analysis in my files. It is a hobby of mine.
Some oils I have sent in to Blackstone Labs for analysis and others I have received from
Oil nuts like me. You can also find a number of oil analyses done on the Website. WWW.Bobistheoilguy.com
I believe that is where the MMO analysis came from.
I have such a number of them it's hard to remember where or who they came from.
I can assure you they are most accurate.
