With apologies to Unca Joel:

Your rhyming question needs an answer. Which of the many rows of cans or Jugs on the shelves of your FLAPS, Will cure your engine of its 'taps'.

You've sought in vain but seek no more, I'll set you straight upon this score. The remedy for which you toil Is the wondrous 'Marvel Mystery Oil'.
