Correct. No need to use it in a healthy engine.
Yet this is what MMO say on their website.
They must love people who copy and paste incorrect lists of ingredients and who try to persuade people that UOA's are a justification for using MMO.

In newer engines, Marvel protects against scoring or seizing and creates a highly polished, wear resistant finish on engine surfaces.
Well I can say if the Marvel oil people like Demar paint or not, he's been real nice to me though, and knows a lot. I can say the Marvel people like me though. I talked some years back with a Rich Kelly i think about a project car and told him how i used the stuff. He mailed me a t-shirt, and some other things if i remember right.
In spite of the battle here I still think is is a great tool to have in the box. I'd be the last guy to tell anyone to use it all the time, but no one in this thread is saying that, I'm not gonna re-read thru all this [censored] again though.
About 5 years ago a fishing pal of mine calls me up and tells me his boat went to the bottom of his slip, salt water and that he had it pulled it out and drained the oil a week before he called me. I said [censored] did you do that for, you leave the stinking thing under the water and when you pull it be prepared to start working real fast. Anyway the damage was done, no point in beating him up any more. Then you have the EPA to deal with so she had to come out fast. She was frozen up pretty solid. He took care of the gas and all that which was good. We did a piston soak with Marvel Oil, i filled the engine to the top with Marvel Oil, and let her sit for about 2 days. I took a nice ¾ breaker bar and tried to turn the engine with that. After 2 days i was able to turn it. I dropped the Marvel Oil to full marker on the dipstick, tossed in new plugs, cap wires, rotor, oil filter and tried to start her. After some choice curse words and ether she started and smoked like all [censored]. After a 5 minute idled i dumped the Marvel, and filter, new oil and filter and a 20 minute idle. Dump that and the filter, fresh oil and filter and a 25 hour run. That took a few weeks. Then we changed it again. 5 years later she runs line a raped ape, no oil use either. I think the Marvel oil saved us from a rebuild, you guys will think otherwise and I'm not going down that rocky road with ya. I'm surprised i'm still here to be honest.
I think we had to replace the fuel pump too, i got to ask him next time we talk.-RD
