heard peopel talk about it on here to put in their gas tank. well I was like what the hell and did it. Well must say it did make a big difference and now when I travel I81 to Harrisonburg VA use to when I hit the hills with cruise on set at 70 it would always down shift. now after running the stuff through it now dont shift up or bog down . just keeps it at 70 and keeps going. when I get on the interstate and floor it. it will actually push me in to my seat some. I think I scared a mustang that i blew by getting on I-81 :funny:. engine at cruising speeds is so smooth that I can hardly feel it running :woot:
so this is some good stuff and going to put in my wifes malibu as its being sluggish now.

You can sub it as a quart of oil as well to clean out the inside of the motor.

Just did that ^^^^ it was gross only after 3000. Did lose like half a quart though. I guess I burned the Mystery oil off.:huh:

Its supposed to just be a flush when you put it in the oil, don't drive around with it in the crankcase

I've been using Lucas products but I'm not too impressed with their fuel treatment so I may try some of this.

their website says to put some in at every fill up?
Am I missing something here? That's a damn lot of oil to be pouring in at every fill up (granted I don't know the price of it either)

MMO is some great stuff. I had alot of old time Mechanics always buying it from me. Figured there must be some reason behind it.
I've always been impressed when I ran it.

It's better if you only run it for about 1,500 miles and then change it to get it cleaned well. If it's super dirty, you can do it one more time. Usually once is enough.

you're not supposed to use the entire bottle at every fill, you only add a little bit if you use it every fill up.

I was going to try it, but nobody by me sells pump kerosene anymore. Everyone carries the blue gas cans, but the only way to actually get the kerosene is in the little half gallon cans at Home Depot for like $12. I even went to 3 municipal airports, but they won't just sell it to the public.

I tried kerosene, I think I bought a whole gallon when I did it, it was around winter, so everyone had it in stock. I was looking for it a mo or so back, because someone told another use for it, and I couldn't find it in Home Depot, but I found it in a smaller family owned or chain hardware store.
