The only "bad" reviews I've ever seen or heard for Marvel Mystery Oil were that it didn't do anything, but FAR more people swear by it. I have first hand experience with it... if I do an oil change without it I can hear my lifters ticking very clearly but immediately after adding the Marvel Mystery Oil the ticking is much quieter. I've been using this stuff for years and I swear by it.

MMO did the job for me. The only other additives I will use are Lubegard and Liquimoly and a good HDEO 15-40.
