Re: IML: ATF vs. Marvel

Does the MMO just increase the oil viscosity?

If so are you better off running a good 20/50 synthetic? This also will quite valve noise.

I am not sure if ATF does the same thing as
Marvel Mystery Oil, I have never used it that
way. But MMO is a great additive if you have a
car the has a Valve noise or tick. It's not a
fix but it make the noise quieter and gives you
more time to fix it right. I had a 1974 AMC
Matador Coupe a few years back that had a valve
ticking noise, MMO made it barely noticeable. I
like running MMO in a car with no problems, for
preventitive maintenance. If it quiets the
valve noise think of what it will do to prevent
that noise from happening. It's good stuff, and
has been around forever, and I know a couple of
other car guys who swear by it.
Thanks, Tom
