As the title suggests this is a poll for oil additives. I hope no one is putting MMO in the crankcase.

If they do, the engine will be clean when they go to replace the seals. :LOL:

Whats the big deal with MMO?

I've used it in oil for 17 years and no problems.

I don't overuse it. Thats the problem with most folks. There is NO instant liquid fix for any problem.
There is preventive maintenance, nothing else.
