What can this be used for?

Janicholson · Jul 18, 2010

It is a light oil that can be used as a upper cylinder Lube for air cooled engines. It is 1/2 way between a penetrating oil, and machine oil.
I use it in air tools as well. Jim

One of the best "snake oils" you can use....might not do what you want as well as you want, BUT WILL NOT do anymore harm either. Had a stuck lifter one time...quart of MM in the oil change and rapping noise immediately went away and I became a "believer" in the product. Air tool lube...add to gas tank...have even used in PS when didn't have proper fluid at time...auto trans. additive...etc. etc.

I'm NOT a big proponent of "snake oils", but I do keep MM around for those times needed,

Like Jim says,

It's the "save-all" for air cooled engines. I like to use it to free stuck valves in their guides.

Its great to use for freeing stuck pistons, wrist pins, generally rusted things. It has a high capilary action to it.

I found it was great to remove light rust on shop power tools after a hurricane.

Mixed with Coke & brake fluid it works great to free stuck pistons.

Used Marvel Mystery oil to free sensitive hydraulic lifters in my 1968 Camaro 396. I swear by it.
Another good product is Rislone.

By the way, if you have real bad tar spots on the top of your vehicle, or leaf drippings, a little
MM Oil on a rag will do wonders to remove them!

Doesnt' hurt to add a little to the oil and gas on lawn mower engines.
