Subject:      Re: Marvel Mystery Oil; CD-2 Oil Detergent- Additives

I used Marvel Mystery Oil about 10 years ago. I noticed no difference when added to the oil. I noticed minor spark plug fouling when added to the gasoline.

Marvel Mystery Oil did have applications for me. I diluted it 50/50 with mineral spirits, and then I used it to lubricate small parts in my home and in my son's Radio Controlled trucks. I think it makes a great lube when used in various dilutions. I use it where I used to use 3 in 1 oil. It takes the heat generated by friction better i.e. in a fan.

The "Marvel Mystery Oil" (available at Longs and NAPA) immediately increased my avg highway mileage to 19mpg from 15mpg -- and I have experienced a noticeable increase in power.
