Re: IML: How much Marvel?

[<dansgarage@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All...regarding the adding of Marvel oil as a lubricant for the motor....does this ONLY apply if the motor has sat for a long time?..what, if anything, would it provide for a recently rebuilt motor (menaing with less than 50,000 miles since the rebuild)...also, just HOW MUCH Marvel does one add when adding to a motor or as a gas additive? 
Thanks all!!!

Marvel is the best for oil and gas it gas been around for years and unlike 
all the other new additives that come out, you will not see it in a few 
years in the clearance bin.
