MMO stucks free rings

[mjoekingz28]

Marvel Mystery Oil stucks free rings.




On a positive note, when combined with Suzuki 10w-40- the mixture when added to a hamster wheel went years without needing subsequent lubrication due to squeaking.


That is all!

Well that's something new. I'm used to it freeing stuck rings, not the opposite... PICS OR DIDN'T HAPPEN!!! Lol

I don't buy it, as I use it in my jeep and never had any issues. we need proof

Hi Mr. Troll, back again so soon. Go away!

Storytime. Did it dislodge some gunk that "stuck" your ring, or something?

I think there is only one good use for MMO and that's to pour directly into cylinders when they are rusted stuck due water ingestion.

It was a good oil additive to the older oils to prevent sludge , but with modern oils its not necessary. Good if you have a bunch of SE/ SF oil to use.

I did an soak on a Saturn that had been consuming a quart/3000 miles.

The very next week (1500 miles) she was down a quart.





SatinSilver, I was here first YOU apologize for telling me to go away and try being a decent person.





Ethan1, I do not know what it did. I drove about 1 mile, let er cool for a few moments (as the Saturn said pulling hot plugs can do damage), pulled the plugs, poured about two ounces in each cylinder. Took a nap, put paper towels over the holes, cranked a few seconds st a time for about a total of one minute, reinstalled, smoke fest while leaving. I dont remember the car driving different, but consumption doubled instantly.




Donald, nice idea. Is this for dirt bikes you have taken underwater?

I have used MMO with great success forever it really is good stuff if you use it the way they tell you that is a plus if you don't use it thats ok also i won't lose sleep over it.

I had a similar experience this month.

One vehicle we have is an Acura SLX (Isuzu V6). It has known ring issues similar to saturns and Corollas. I have over time done SeaFoam soaks and got consumption down to a reasonable level (~ 1qt/2k). I put mmo 1qt of 5 in the crankcase, ran it 1k. Drained, filled with 3qts oil, 2 qts. Kerosene. Ran 15 minutes at idle., Let cool, pulled plugs, filled each cylinder w/100cc of Kerosene. Let soak down overnight. Drained all, refilled with Mobil 1 10w-40 HM and a PureOne filter. 800 miles later I am down a quart. Not sure what happned; I have had soaks result in nothing or improvement, but never regression.

I am tempted to drain out the crank, put in some cheap oil, repeat again and drain and then put the M1 back in.

+1 I have done that twice to seized engines. Fill the cylinders, let it soak a week....turn the crank with a breaker bar.....zama. Back on the road after one oil change.

I wonder what would have happened if you would have just used motor oil.

So you only let it soak for,maybe, an hour or 2? I have always heard that you should let it soak at least 8 hours or overnight.
