MMO Treatment clarification
Several questions on doing the Marvel Mystery Oil treatment to clean up carbon on the rotors, apex seals, etc.
2-3oz. in each rotor chamber threw the spark plug holes, correct?
Spin engine by hand to get the oil in there good, right?
Let it sit for how long?
Spin it some more while it has sat for a while?
Use old plugs to fire it up and burn it all off, correct?
thanks,
Ray

EFI or carb doesn't matter
using it in the tank is just like premix in case your OMP ***** the bed
leave it soaking as long as you possibly can....days or weeks.

re: where in canada can u buy this stuff?
Marvel Mystery Oil is owned by the Turtle Wax Co., so anyplace that sells Turtle Wax should be able to at least order you some if they don't have it in stock. good luck..

cjf, it really doesn't matter which holes you put it in but........I would put the oil/atf in the leading plug holes because they are larger and you won't make such a big mess.

Hey Zal, go to the battery section of the store while you're there. Find the accessories area, and grab a battery filling thingy (looks like a turkey baster). They are PERFECT for gettting MMO in the holes.

Get a little squirt bottle of Marvel Air Tool Oil. As far as I can tell, it's just repackaged MMO. They used to sell MMO in the little 4-oz squirt bottles too, which are excellent for getting into the plug holes, putting a dab on bolt threads, things like that. (Glad I held on to a couple of 'em!)
I put 1ox of MMO per gallon in the tank of the GSL when I fill up. Certainly seems to be running a lot smoother! I'll have to do a compression test one of these days, just for reference later on down the road.

Most auto parts store sell those hand pumps for Sta-lube brand gear oils and such, which would be great for injecting MMO in the engine. The best part is that each pump despenses 1oz.
Speaking of auto parts stores, Pepboys is having a sale on the 32oz MMO, ~$2.50 each.

Just get a small Turkey baster from Wal*Mart and use about 3 inches of rubber hose to make a flexy nozzle.
Best US$1.98 I spent to put into my soolbox.
Works great for suckin out extra brake fluid when you change the pads too. (Wash it out after each job. No good mixin oil and brake fluids.)

The MMO/ATF treatment is designed to restore compression lost through carbon sticking the apex seals. Adding it to your gas tank is preventative maintenance so that it doesn't happen... So is changing your oil religiously.

My engine has about 600 miles on it. I've been using regular 87 octane gas and Castrol 10W30 GTX oil. The OMP is brand new and IS working. Would you recommend adding MMO at each fill of the tank and why?

Insurance and Maintenance purposes.
If you must pass emissions, run through one tank without it before getting your test done.
