Would it be beneficial for longevity sake to add marvel mystery oil at each fill up to a 3k miles 2023 Honda CRV hybrid?

[grammatoncleric]

It has direct injection and I just want to aid in lubbing the pistons for lower mpg and longevity starting when new.

 

[atikovi]

No

 

[dishdude]

No this stuff is crap.

 

[vavavroom]

MMO cleans up rusty tools and hardware pretty well.

 

[MolaKule]

No benefit whatsoever. Piston rings are lubricated by the engine oil.

I actually just drove a CRV hybrid home from our used lot lol. The engine really only kicks in under moderate to heavier acceleration, otherwise just idles occasionally to charge the battery/run heat etc.

With it being a hybrid, I'd expect something else to fail long before having an engine problem.

 

[TiGeo]

No. But using a PEA-based fuel additive at every oil change certainly has merit. Dude...you are really over-thinking this new to you CRV.

 

[Astro14]

No.

There’s nothing in a new car to “fix” so, don’t try. Pick a good oil. Change it regularly.

 

[wpod]

If it makes you feel better add something.

If this product has any place, it is in the crankcase of old, worn, last legs cars of yesteryear. Take a hint from the posts.

The "No" part of the answer is right. There is, however, a fuel dilution issue baked into this particular vehicle. The solution is frequent oil changes and adding in some longer runs here and there. Not MMO. I mean, what's in it? I don't know. It's a mystery.

I found that MMO only works for small tools and 2 stroke engines. When I used MMO in my vehicles fuel, it actually dropped MPG.

In my wife’s Pilot I run Redline Sl1 at 60 and 20% olm. She runs what ever gas she can find.

 

[Meep meep]

Don't have mmo here but tcw3 works well for my old banger.

Would I put it in a 2023 car? Probably not...

 

[NormanBuntz]

Not the best idea I've seen here.

 

[nomas]

I don't waste my money on additives other than an occasional bottle of fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank . Even then I wait until it's on sale . I got my first vehicle 50 yrs ago and I still haven't seen the need for any of that stuff . Have I just been lucky ?

 

[02zx9r rev2]

Only benefit will be the Marvel Oil company getting the money you spent on the bottle

 

[Overfill]

I expect it would make things worse for a DI

 

[Oliveoil2]

I use MMO to oil my ratchets, air and hand. And that’s pretty much it.

 

[Zee09]

I wouldn't use anything else
