marvel mystery oil versus wd40

Post by nakedwaterskier » Wed Jan 21, 2009 8:37 am

Is Marvel just transmission fluid? It can even be added to your gas tank to combat engine sludge and wear. Diesel engines benefit even more. So, it has more benefits than WD40. But, I don't recommmend smoking it like LDS cuz nobody really knows what is in it. IT IS A MYSTERY! Actually, I think there used to be a bicycle lube LDS that I used on my Schwinn in the 60s that supposedly didn't attract dirt like WD40. Jeffrey

"...bicycle lube LDS that I used on my Schwinn in the 60s..." You probably mean LPD 9, a lube sold/used by Schwinn dealers. Stephen

Marvel Mystery Oil http://www.turtlewax.com/res/msds/MM010-4.pdf However, the components need to be deciphered for the regular person. Alan

marvel mystery oil versus wd40

I used to work in a full service gas station in the early 70s. (anyone remember them?) We sold Marvel Mystery Oil and there were a few users who swore that it was a miracle elixir for their cars. Better gas mileage, longer lasting engine, all kinds of benefits. But, I think these guys had cars that held up well simply because they took better care of them. Regular oil changes, clean car, frequent waxing. Maintenance. Contrasting that is the vivid memory of a guy I knew casually who came in for a fill up. When I checked his oil, the dipstick looked like it had been dipped in black sludge. And it was a quart low. I asked him "How long has it been since you had an oil change?" "Never! I don't believe in oil changes! You don't have to change the oil in your car, ever! You just add oil as needed!" I think he added an engine "as needed" not too long after that. aphampton628 wrote:

I don't care what you try, just tell us how long your chains last with it.
