Why is that?


Just because MMO (in the crankcase) has received a bit of a raw deal here in the past. Lately, there has been a resurgence of use in this format, myself included. Seems like a good product and I have noticed some great results so far. Any time someone else is willing to try MMO in the crankcase, all the better for us as a forum. We can use all the data we can get.

+1 I've used it for decades, and tried other products with some good results. One mentioned on this board briefly stopped a leak, which has since returned. In the end I keep going back to MMO. After 35+ years of use it hasn't let me down. It cleans the best of all the products I've tried. The price is right and it doesn't matter what kind of oil I add it to.

Glad to see others are have taken the plunge and are having good results with it!
