I use 1/2oz/gallon of fuel and about 1/2 quart in the oil. You would have to use 20-50 oil cause mmo will thin out oil a bit. Good stuff!

If you buy the quart or gallon size it also says in the oil. The smaller bottles don't say that cause you buy the 16oz bottles to use with fuel. But trust me, I speak from experience as well as dozens of good recommendations from ol' hands who have used it for years. It was originally developed for aviation applications and is an excellent lubricant. Also, ask denny on the first gen forum. The guy probably drinks that stuff and uses it as deodrant among other things

IF you get a mall bottle, put the whole thing in the crank case on your next oil change.
For the gas, fill it with a ratio of 1:100.

That should do the trick.

I am soooo beyond confused. Oh my god. It's a blonde day today for me or something. Some people tell me to mix it with my oil... some tell me to mix it with gas... others tell me to put it in the goddamn crank case.... MAKE UP YOUR MIND PEOPLE!!! seriously though... By crank case, do you mean tranny?

Don't forget to put some in the washer fluid bottle and in the ash try too. A lil in the radiator won't hurt either.














please don't do it!

You should probably put it in the oil before your next oil change, as it thins out the oil. I don't know about you guys, but that weasel pissing into the vacuum line would scare me, I mean, the little sucker would probably get turned on from the vacuum and end up... ANYWAY

Marvel is the shiznit. i think God made that himself. i had an isuzu pickup with one of the 4 massive cylinders stuck...or clogged...or somethin...anyways i used the special sauce in the oil and gas after a change and wallllaa. i was wuick as ****. before i could only chirp 2nd, that enabled me to hit 3rd easily. i almosted pissed myself. i was racin everywhere. and it burns so lovely, the smell is nice...i tried to get high off it. but the sad part of it is later that day i was goin down the freeway, speedin like a demon, then i bottemed out and smashed the oil pan, ripped the oil plug out and crushed the tube for the oil pump. the fresh scent filled the air and the car behind me as all the oil drained out. it sucked. and still to this day the truck sits outside my house watin to be fixed. but the marvel did its job.

Why would you want to pour it on the gas tank?
For christ sake just go to Can Tire, buy the only size they sell and throw the whole bottle INTO not ONTO a full tank of fuel and do so every third fill up - worked for me for the last year or so.
