Can Marvel be used in transfer cases and transmissions or even differential?
I was just wondering what other applications the MMO is good for using other than engine or fuel.
Have you seen tell of damage or negative affects by MMO? I'm not arguing, just curious.No. Anything with isopropyl alcohol and chlorinated paraffin (like MMO) has no business in either of those applications.
Even if, why would you want to? The proper fluids for those applications already contain the proper additive package you need. Adding MMO would only hurt their performance.
Why not read the label?I was just wondering what other applications the MMO is good for using other than engine or fuel.
Nope, but no scientific, real benefits proved either.Have you seen tell of damage or negative affects by MMO? I'm not arguing, just curious.

Might keep your shovel from rusting ?I was just wondering what other applications the MMO is good for using other than engine or fuel.
Good back in the day when non-detergent oils were the mainstay and the same era fuel systems.Nope, but no scientific, real benefits proved either.
Works well with small enginesMight keep your shovel from rusting ?
Have used MMO in my gasoline since about 1973 when the "on duty mechanics" I worked with at a full service gas station told me about it.Marvel Mystery Oil - Jack of all trades, master of none. But still a lot better than a master of one.
Here are my uses in last 10 years across multiple vehicles and other applications:
- Using it in oil decreased oil consumption in multiple of my vehicles. I buy used, usually high mileage with unknown maintenance history. In those applications MMO shines. Worked as advertised in nearly all applications. A couple were just too far gone due to previous owner's neglect.
- Using it in fuel quieted some of the engines, quieted some fuel pumps, revived a couple fuel gauges. Improved MPG in most cars, made no difference in few cars, and actually made MPG worse in a couple.
- MMO as Piston soak was tried in 5 vehicles by me. Reached desired effect in 2 vehicles, no difference in other 3. It is a slow cleaner, so maybe with more time all 5 would've been a success, but I'll never know for sure. Only got 1 of these 5 vehicles left in the stable currently.
- Stuff smells great, so I squirt some occasionally on the door hinges in garage and shed. Keeps all smooth and quiet with nice minty smell.
- I have some old engine parts laying around that were coated with MMO years ago, and still have no rust. Uncoated parts of the same engine have rust. (Motor oil or ATF would achieve same results, but MMO smells better. May try baby oil next, it is mineral oil afterall, right? )
- My carbureted applications require no carb cleaning when MMO is used constantly. I still do it as due diligence, just to find out that cleaning was a waste of time, as MMO kept it all clean. Can't say the same about Stabil for example...
There are better products available depending on application. But if I got MMO on hand and it works 50-80% as good, at lower cost, and I don't have to drive to the store to buy a specialized product, then I'm using MMO without a doubt.
I use it in the oil in on the Ford 5.4l 3v. Takes 7Q and I use 5w30 Pennzoil platinum with a qt of MMO Doesn't seem to like it in the fuel that much tho not sure if it's because of flex fuel engine or not but Redline works best for fuel additive in my application
To its credit, there are a lot of claims of benefit but no harm I've read about (except the random comment on this page). I dunno...Nope, but no scientific, real benefits proved either.
