All I can say is....the stuff is awesome! After reasearching for months now I couldn't find anything that shows that using synthetic is harmful to the motor. I'm using Mobil 1 10w-30 and the results are great. The motor idles smoother than ever, acceleration is even smoother. However, the best part is that the motor runs cooler. My PFC commander is showing that I'm running 8 degrees cooler! I don't know why I didn't use this stuff sooner. Any doubters should give it a try, you'll never go back to dino juice.

 

Oh yeah, I'm also using Marvel Mystery Oil in every tank full of gas. It's great stuff as well. My vaccume @ idle has increased from 16-18'' to 18-20''. From what I've read, it contains detergents that breakdown carbon and sluge buildup, and help keep the seals clean and lubracated.

 

I just switched like 3 weeks ago. Best mod yet since my downpipe.

 

I noticed my starts and idle were smoother when I began pre-mixing with MMO. I put 4oz per tank, but I skip every fifth or sixth tank.

 

I agree synth is the way to go.

 

Hey guys where can I find MARVEL MYSTERY OIL...???? Do they sell that stuff at NAPA or Pep Boys....?Thanks...Tony

 

Switched also. Good investment. I did it because I didn't want to bake the turbo's.

 

I was wondering now..... I use dino juice, but i change the oil (AND filter) every 1000 miles during the summer, and every 1500 miles during the other seasons here in So. Cal. Would it really be better to switch to mobil 1 ($$$) and just change it every 2500 miles? Keep in mind i drive 1 1/2 hrs in traffic per day...
thnx

93FD3S: Auto Zone sells Marvel Mystery Oil.

 

r0t0r-rooter: synthetic oil will definately help you out. on a stressfull driving schedule like you hold the engine is screaming at you. the longer you use a high quality synthetic the better it gets. the synthetic change it 2500 would be perfectly fine for you.

as far as MMO goes. . . i thought about using it, but i decided to go with z-max. i have a box waiting to go in. my engine puked a coolant seal so i gotta rebuild it. once i get that done. . . and the engine broken in. . . i will be using z-max for the duration. ill give a report of what the internals look like when i end up rebuilding the second time. . . which i feel is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the line. haha.

I would reccomend going to Wal-mart and picking up some four ounce bottles in the area where they have the travel size shampoos. They have some clear squirt type bottles that work really well. I would reccomend picking up a quart of MMO why you are there. Then go to a parts place like a Autozone ar Advance and buy a gallon of the MMO. The gallon is very difficult to pour into a small funnel but it is much cheaper to buy it this way. Fill your bottles using the quart bottle then refill your quart bottle with the gallon jug. This stuff makes a great premix. I also run about 1/2 a qaurt with my oil every couple of oil changes to keep the oil system clean.

 

Is MMO a motor oil or is it used to pre-mix?

 

You can add it to both your gas and your oil. That is the Marvel and the Mystery of this stuff. This is one of the best products out there next to PB Blaster.

 

Thanks BLACK93REW for the tip....so how much do you add to a full tank of gas? And would it be safe to use in the gas every fillup? Thanks...Tony

 

Garfinkle has been using and getting his customers including me to use synthetics for many years,with no problems . he has years of experance, many say no to syn on this forum ,but he has been at it for so long with good results that I for one will trust in his knowledge

 

Do you have to rinse the oil system before switching from dino to synthetic?

 

From Mobil 1's site:

Myth: You can't mix Mobil 1 with conventional oil.

Fact: Mobil 1 with SuperSyn™ is fully compatible with conventional motor oils, semi-synthetic motor oils and other synthetic motor oils should it be necessary to mix them. But the superior performance of Mobil 1 with SuperSyn™ will be reduced by diluting it.

Thank you.

 

I just switched to Mobil 1 a month ago. Great product.

 

MMO is for pre-mixing or adding to dino oil.

 

DAYAM!!!! Mobil 1's $5 per quart.... adn there's no break on the price going with a case. I dunno if i can hang with all the high-rollers in here.... I better see some ridiculously huge differences here. Got myself the MMO too. Cool red jug

 

So you can use MMO with every fill up if you use the little 4 oz bottles or whatever, or would it be better to use it like everyother fill up?

 

what dose puting mmo in your gas tank do?

 

shoot, I just bought a case of Valvoline.. I think I'll take it back in stick Mobil 1 in my motor, it's due for an oil change in 184.3 miles.

 

MMO is not dissimilar to two cycle oil. It's just a little different for four cycle motors. It can't be bad, cause it goes into the combustion chamber to be burned, same as the oil injection system we have currently. IIRC, the stock oil metering unit does not work as well as it should(?). So MMO may be of great advantage.
