MMO Lspi

Since MMO has phosphorus in it, and Phosphorus is supposed to help reduce LSPI, maybe MMO is a good thing for direct injected motors?
I don't think so. A fully formulated blend of additives in oil have proper ratio's. Just adding extra P to your oil isn't going to work.
 
But, really. The same reason anyone here thinks about oil, other than just following the manufacturer’s recommendations, and using products from the dealer. To feel like one is doing something better for their machine than the manufacturer suggests.
Products like MMO allow that without causing to much harm, at worst, and doing little to help at best.

So, if that’s your line of thinking, buy an oil that there is no doubt it’s built on the finest materials with the best science. Many here have learned how to do that and have had nothing but positive feedback.

Or, play backyard chemist with questionable results and similar costs to paying a company who actually knows what they’re doing, and does it better than anybody.

Look up my 14.4k mile EcoBeast UOA… an oil with over 2k ppm Ca, running 30% ethanol and over 23psi boost… and no LSPI at all. Because the blender knows how to prevent LSPI and uses the finest materials available. 500+ rwhp from a 3.5L TTGDI is as harsh as anything else on the road…. That’s the same output as a 920+rwhp Camaro SS. Whatever you’re adding MMO to is almost certainly way more reserved than that. 👍🏻
 
but, you know. many have says things like their entire family has been using X product for generations with no issues.
